These are the menswear happenings to have on your radar, including Aimé Leon Dore’s UGG debut, Beach Brains’ trip to the coast and Veilance’s wool collection.

Aimé Leon Dore gets cosy with UGG

Debuting their first collaboration, the New York menswear label links up with UGG for a mid-top moccasin-inspired silhouette, accompanied by a campaign featuring rappers Redman and Method Man. Constructed out of full-grain leather, the UGG ALD Slipper arrives in Coffee Bean and Goldenrod colourways and features debossed co-branding, including Aimé Leon Dore’s signature Queen Crest logo. Made to seamlessly move from the outdoors to indoors, it carries the shared ethos of quality, craftsmanship, and considered design that both brands hold so dearly. Check out the collection, available online and in-store now.

Beach Brains plays with contrast for AW26

Exploring the black sand beaches of Auckland, the New Zealand-based brand takes an escape out of the city as the collection pulls from ’90s workwear, grunge and Kiwi surf culture. Playing on juxtapositions, pieces like Beach Brains’ clean-cut Zip Coach are placed against textured Drop long-sleeve shirts, and punk-ish Dream Layer T-shirts. Silhouettes are relaxed, flowy and tailor-made for a coastal getaway, away from the anxieties of metropolitan life. Check out the capsule now, available online and in-store.

CELINE takes on the French countryside

Taking things to a traditional, rustic estate, photographer Zoë Ghertner shoots day-to-day looks in a rural retreat for the Spring 2027 campaign. Oversized red knits are tucked into a cummerbund and tapered, tailored trousers – colour-matched to the carpet and tablecloth, of course – whilst drapey trench coats are worn with white buckled boots as the model sits by the weathered windowsill. Check out the campaign now.

Veilance introduces wool to its lineup

Gearing up for the colder months, Arc’teryx’s city-head counterpart Veilance presents a wool collection that combines the natural and the constructed, the past and the future. Offering something softer than tailoring and functional insulation that Veilance is already known for, it explores the relationship between intuitive form and engineering precision. The Cementis Jacket and Sarya Wool Jacket stand as highlights from the capsule, with the former featuring a utilitarian design with a protective stand collar, whilst the latter leans more breathable with a blouson silhouette. Check out the offering now, available online and in-store now.

Alight here for Brunello Cucinelli’s Holiday campaign

Brunello Cucinelli has unveiled its Holiday 2026 campaign, which follows a journey aboard a vintage train on a cold winter night. This fairytale setting spotlights its luxurious cashmeres, tailoring, and outerwear. It also sees the return of Philo, the mythical griffin that is inspired by the coat of arms of the brand’s home in Solomeo and Perugia. Accompanying the campaign is a gifting collection spanning beanies, scarves, and travel bags. Check it out here. 

Church’s cuts the ribbon on the Holiday season

Church’s shoes have been around since 1873. Buy a pair and they’ll likely outlive you. And the brand’s latest campaign, landing in time for the holiday season, is a nice little reminder of these footwear lifer’s gift-ability. The campaign spotlights Shire boots, Snow boots, Prince II Oxfords, Peebles loafers, and Baron monkstraps, all worn by friends who get together and shield from the outdoors. It’s all very cosy and slow-paced, reflecting the zen that comes as the year winds down – or perhaps that’s how it feels when you receive a pair of church’s. More on the Church's website.

A.P.C. and Casio reunite

A.P.C. has teamed up with Casio once more. This time around they’ve explored into the Casio Vintage line and revamped the AQ-240EAC and the AQ-240EGAC. The case is designed for easy legibility, and shows the time in analogue and digital formats, with a sunray dial housed within a rounded square case. A.P.C. logos appear on the dial via the guitar and dagger logo on the back. They arrive in both silver tone and gold tone iterations, and will be available to purchase in Casio, G-SHOCK, and A.P.C. stores from November 17.
