october’s picks
Early Autumn is traditionally all about ‘back to work’ but, with our print issue hitting in mid-summer, we feel we have been back at the desk for quite a few weeks already. Having said that, there is something nice about dressing up a bit more formally now and again. Tailoring was at its strongest on the menswear runways this season, and a suit actually feels like a design statement at the moment. No need to keep it simply for the office, weddings or court appearances, a suit is a great framework for dressing, even for a party or night on the town. Just keep the accessories relaxed and avoid the whole silk tie thing.
Here are a few things on our wish list this month, should we be feeling a little more sartorial (at least until the really bad weather arrives when all attempts at executive realness go out the window).
Oscar Jacobsen double-breasted blazer
Double-breasted jackets have long left the realms of country-club grandpas and now, with softer inner construction and more fluid fabrics, have become really rather cool in a louche way. We love this version in classic lightweight charcoal wool. Pair with the matching single pleat pants and wear with a T-shirt or fine knit rather than a traditional shirt.
Hansen Loose Fit Classic Blazer
Suiting these days is quite a broad church. Take, for example, this jacket (which comes with matching slouchy pants) from Hansen: the shape is oversized, the shoulder pads non-existent, and the fabric a rustic take on a traditional pinstripe. You will not be mistaken for a bank manager wearing this one.
A t-shirt worn under a suit immediately removes the formality and gives a fresh, unstuffy vibe. This one from our go-to destination for tees, Arket, is in a heavy bouclé jersey, so there is both textural interest and a bit of warmth if the weather is turning a bit chilly.
If it’s a little tooooo cold to wear a t-shirt under your blazer, then a simple crewneck sweater will do the trick. Make sure it is fine gauge so it doesn’t make you look too chunky, and go for cashmere if you can: the yarn takes colour beautifully, and you can wear it next to the skin, avoiding bulky layers. And you will only see a little bit of it, so be brave with the colour!
Church's Portsmouth suede penny loafers
We all know loafers are having their moment now, but you don’t want to look like a gigolo (unless you actually are one, in which case advertising might be useful), so avoid shiny, slim versions that make you look like you are about to start dancing. Go for suede with a heavier sole to balance the volume of your jacket, and do not wear them with white socks - it’s not the 80s anymore.
Saint Laurent leather tote bag
Cross-body bags can cause some rumpling issues with a suit, and God forbid you go for a rucksack. Instead, keep things business-like but not too serious with a good-quality leather tote. This one is big enough for a laptop (and a copy of The Editors' issue one) but has all the fashion chops to elevate your look on the work commute.
Maison Francis Kurkdjian l'Homme À la rose
People’s expectations for a suit wearer are that they will smell of something tweedy or reminiscent of a gentleman’s barbershop, and whilst we love both of those vibes, it’s nice to surprise too. So go for something with rose, here mixed with grapefruit and sage to stop it from being too sweet. It’s unexpected, a little avant-garde, and very sophisticated.

Copenhagen Guide
Where we go as locals…
The food and drink scene in Copenhagen is insane. Call it ‘the noma effect’ but the interest in restaurants, bars and cafes has grown exponentially over the past decade with a dizzying number of options at all levels. Be it hipster breakfast, working coffee, casual lunch, bar food or very fine dining, you can eat and drink VERY well in this city. But it takes some research and planning: the best places are often outside the city centre and reservations are usually necessary. This is where we come in: we have lived here long enough to consider ourselves locals and we eat and drink A LOT. So here are some of our insider tips on what we consider the best in class.
Robin’s
72 hours in
Palma de Mallorca
There are many places we love to return to, but for Robin, the place at the top of the list has to be Palma de Mallorca. Just about three hours from Copenhagen, and not much more from anywhere else in Europe, the city makes for a perfect prolonged weekend getaway.
Many visitors touch down in Palma only to head straight to their favourite or suggested resorts, missing the city itself with the cobbled streets of the atmospheric old town, its impressive monuments, museums, galleries, and vibrant food scene.
Surrounded by the Mediterranean, this easily accessible capital offers a melting pot of cultures and historic influences. Having visited Palma at least twice a year for some time, Robin takes you through a prolonged weekend in the city as he experiences it.

Movie list.
The Invite / 2026 – 1h 47m
☆☆☆☆☆
Chaotic. Hilarious. And Heartfelt
We LOVED The Invite, and we can easily say this was probably one of the best movies we have seen so far this year. We always love Olivia Wilde and Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton of course is very watchable but we have to admit that after Seth Rogen’s The Studio, we finally found a way to like him too.
The movie almost feels like a stage play, packed with intense dialogue and scenes in which every word and emotion count. Olivia Wilde proves her directorial skills by turning an awkward gathering into one of the sharpest comedies of the year but one that also is surprisingly moving at the end. All the characters deliver performances that are raw and hilarious, but at the same time truly heartfelt. And it is not just the performances that are on point; the cinematography is too; the use of ‘loud silence’ throughout the movie adds to the emotional weight and creates a real sense of tension, making you feel almost like you are part of it.
Maybe, though, it’s not a movie to watch with your partner. Or maybe it is. It might just make you question a couple of things and leave you a little moved by the time you finish it.
