Christmas Gift Guide for Men with Mr Porter

Mr Porter, one of our favourite online shopping destinations, obviously has one of the richest offerings of gift ideas for Christmas. It was quite difficult to choose our favourites but below you'll see our suggestions for some classically stylish and luxury stocking fillers fit for any gentleman, young or old. There's Winter essentials in the form of hats and gloves and a lot of warming Autumnal colours.

As well as gifts and stocking fillers there's a vast collection of formal and party pieces - we particularly like this super sharp Alexander McQueen Tuxedo Jacket [left] priced at £1,165. There is plenty to choose from online in all categories but we certainly recommend a stylishly gift-wrapped stocking filler from Mr Porter - even something as small as a J Crew hipflask could steal the show on Christmas morning.

Christmas Gift Guide for Men with Ted Baker

Ted Baker knows exactly how to treat us for Christmas with their vast range of stylish and quirky gift ideas as well as some great knits and partywear pieces. You can check out our top picks of gift ideas and stocking fillers below with everything from Winter essentials to techy accessories - we particularly like the digital bookcase with its tweed and leather detailing. There's some fantastic footwear on offer too.

We're seeing a lot of kitsch animal print this season - particularly on socks -and they're no longer reserved for a last minute present for the elderly relatives - it's a free for all now - though we can't quite decide between the pigs, ducks or stags that you'll find in the Ted Baker gift set. For something a little more serious and practical we also suggest the fold-over document holder - great for a stylish return to the office in the new year.

We're starting our Christmas Gift Guides for 2012 with River Island who, apart from the kitsch knitwear, have a great selection of partywear, presents and stocking fillers for the big day.

In terms of formalwear there's a wide range of Lux pieces including contrast-lapel blazers and velvet jackets, patent shoes, bow-ties and much more for you to go all out on.

Beyond this there are a few stocking fillers we can recommend - from the nice to the nifty - so there's generally something for all ages and that's a good starting point. Also you can't go without some new loungewear for the Xmas mornings and again River Island has you sorted there.

Burton Menswear and Royal College of Art Present Montague Collection

Burton Menswear have collaborated with the Royal College of Art to produce a collection made from British fabrics that re-visit the brand's roots. This heritage-heavy range has been designed by one of RCA's students, Liam Hodges, who takes inspiration from the Minor's Strikes of the '80s. Through this we see a lot of thick wools and workwear influences as well as some slim-fit tailoring. 

There's also footwear and accessories - some of which you can see pictured below - as well as statement knits and selvedge denim. Burton Menswear have taken this collaboration very seriously with the British fabrics, modern heritage vibe and a surprisingly vast offering. The Kardashian's at Dorothy Perkins can move aside - it's not about foreign imports here.

House of Holland Launches 'Devore' Underwear Range at Selfridges

The newest House of Holland underwear launches in Selfridges this week and it's ever so slightly toned down in comparison to their previous offerings. The 'Devore' range proceeds the début slogan and neon collections and whilst it's a little more demure at first glance the pieces are actually still quite cheeky with sheer fabric for the House of Holland logo - that  just so happens to be all over the underwear.

If see-through is your thing then you'll be all over this stuff - this is just  the kind of typical HH quirk that we can get on board with. The 'Devore' collection features briefs [£18], hipsters [£21] and vests [£28] for men that we'd recommend as more of a treat for yourself than a gift for someone. And we can't promise that they're going to hide much of your modesty.

Palladium Reveal Graffiti Mural Depicting New Waterproof Collection

One of our favourite footwear brands Palladium have recently enlisted the help of Glaswegian graffiti artist Smug to create a large mural showcasing their latest Waterproof Collection.

This little initiative is just another insight into how Palladium truly showcase their urban nature, making connections on all sorts of levels. We also love their recent film with urban explorer Steve Duncan who takes us below the streets - check it out here. Again this is centred around the Waterproof Collection and you can see a couple of our favourite styles pictured below.
