It is the season of frosty mornings, holiday rush and peaceful nights broken by endlessly clicking champagne glasses. The year is coming to an end and to make sure that you are waving goodbye to 2019 as your most dapper self, I have compiled a list of the best menswear from one of the finest sartorial destinations in the country, Jermyn Street. Think of it as the best sort of gift guide: one for yourself.

Mustard V Neck Sweater by New & Lingwood
This is the Meynell Single-Breasted Jacket from New & Lingwood. A handsome piece cut in pure new wool, woven in Yorkshire, it’s sharp and not too fussy.

Olive Perry Cricket Jumper by New & Lingwood 
Tranby Tartan Double Pleat Trousers by New & LIngwood

A true statement piece. This bespoke dinner shirt by Harvie & Hudson designed in collaboration with Catherine Hayward, Fashion Director of Esquire UK.

I dressed it down with a charcoal roll neck from John Smedley for a more casual appeal.
