Well, that’s it. Bye summer. Time to retire your shorts and tees to the loft. While you’re up there you might as well bring the Christmas tree down, too. We might be a little dramatic, but in the coming weeks the nights will get darker, the air will get cooler, and Saturday nights will be spent watching X Factor in your underwear rather than in the park drinking cider. To ease you into this transition, we’ve pulled out the best in new music, movies and trends to make your September better.
1. Premium Backpacks
Heading back to school? Starting university? Just generally got a load of sh*t to carry? Then do it right with one of our premium backpacks, featuring everything from textured faux leather to waterproof style by Rains.
2. Top Pick
This month’s top pick comes from Merchandise Admin Assistant Conor Quinn, who chooses the black ribbed turtle neck as his September must-have. With its stretchy, textured muscle fit and turtle collar, it makes for an ideal transitional piece that falls between t-shirt and roll neck.
3. Aviation
Still too warm for a parka, now too cold for your Ibiza muscle vest. Solution: transitional flight jackets. These bombers and Harringtons are an integral part of the utility/military trend that’s taking off for autumn/winter. Explore our Aviation edit now.
4. Girl Band
We could talk about the Libertines album being released and be dead predictable, or we could talk about a new face melting band you’ve never heard of. Let’s go with the latter. Ferocious Dublin noise outfit Girl Band release their debut album this month and our ears are bleeding with pure joy.
5. Topman Design AW15
First unveiled at London Collections Men earlier this year, the unique and limited Topman Design AW15 collection returns to buy this month. Expect 70s influenced borg coats, Clueless-style check co-ords and flared jeans and trousers.
7. Attention Students
To help you ease back into another horrible term of preparing for a better future (damn you cruel teachers), we’ve created an A* edit of the essentials you need to survive the term, featuring backpacks, joggers, shirts and more.
