Yoox Net-a-Porter’s high-end menswear site Mr Porter has introduced its AW23 collection for its Mr P line, and importantly it includes a relaunched ‘Permanent Edit’.

That Permanent range – an edit of 76 essential styles, available year-round — reflects a trend seen at multiple upscale and premium brands and retailers. More and more of them are offering pieces that, as Mr Porter said, “form the foundational building blocks of any modern man’s wardrobe”. 

“Updated with refined fits, responsible fabrications and new colourways, this thoughtful edit is designed for longevity, offering customers a more considered choice of everyday staples without compromising on quality or style,” we’re told. 

Key pieces include certified ultrafine merino knitwear, footwear produced using regenerated suede and grape leather and organic garment-dyed cotton chinos.

Also fresh this season is a new, expanded eveningwear and tuxedo offer will also be available featuring double-breasted and jacquard blazers, velvet dinner jackets in new colourways, alongside a double-breasted navy cashmere blend corduroy suit, a range of evening shirts and Derby and double-monk dress shoes.

That’s part of the wider AW23 collection that encompasses 234 pieces across ready-to-wear, accessories and footwear, dropping throughout the season with a focus on the use of “more responsible materials”.

It draws inspiration from UK and American culture and especially the work of 1960s creatives such as David Bailey, Kenneth Noland and Bridget Riley.

The collection “mixes eclectic patterns and textures with unusual colour pairings” including burnt orange, jade green, burgundy and shades of sky blue.

Highlights include monochrome geometric knitwear, wavy printed accessories, unstructured tailoring, and refined outerwear, including wrap coats and leather and suede jackets.
