What Our Style Director Wants From The Black Friday Event

Words by Mr Olie Arnold

26 November 2020

01. The down jacket

The North Face is a master of combining form and function in its winter-friendly designs. I always treat myself to one of the brand’s jackets every season, and this tangerine-toned one will keep me toasty in even the chilliest of conditions.”

02. The soft sweats

“I love the vintage look of garment-dyed jersey. This yellow sweatshirt from our in-house brand Mr P. will put me in a sunny mood, regardless of how grey it is outside, and, crucially, without making me look like a character from Sesame Street.”

03. The classic jeans

Jeans should be easy and effortless, and Nudie Jeans’ appropriately-named Steady Eddie pair ticks both boxes. The washed organic denim gives them that worn-in old-favourite feel from the get-go, which means you won’t have to spend much time breaking them in.”

04. The heavy-duty socks

“I always opt for socks that are hard-wearing and just a little bit fun. To the former point, Japanese craftsmanship rarely lets you down. Blue Blue Japan’s flag pair subtly communicate their country of origin and will be taking pride of place in my top drawer.”

05. The retro sneakers

“I’m always a sucker for a retro sneaker reissue. With its slick shape and revolutionary sole, the Nike Waffle Racer is a real icon of 1970s design and gets bonus points for being super comfy while it’s at it.”
