Esquire 10: The "Picture Perfect" Edit

If you think this line-up looks good in photos, imagine what each item could do for your appearance
Published: 11 October 2026

1. Unforeseen, Aer eau de parfum, AESOP

Aesop introduces a new fragrance chapter that revolves around the idea of treating each scent as a fable filled with character. Unforeseen, Aer is the latest addition, with a pronounced freshness that recalls being out in the crisp, open air, and grounded by the use of nutmeg. The bottle has also been redesigned to be slimmer and topped with a textured bottle cap inspired by basalt rock.

2. From top: Le Damier de Louis Vuitton ring in rose gold with diamonds, bracelets in white gold with diamonds and bracelet in rose gold with diamonds, LOUIS VUITTON

There is a genius in the Le Damier de Louis Vuitton jewellery collection that makes complete sense. Using the Maison’s signature motif—as per its name—the collection features alternating squares inset with a diamond. The result are pieces that show sufficient bling without the ostentatious design.

3. Belt, OUR LEGACY

Our Legacy’s ethos of design shaped by the wearer is best exemplified by its signature belts. Crafted in Italian calf leather, the belt is meant to naturally distress with continuous use to create a look that’s unique to each wearer. The metal hardware adds a touch of polish that whatever you pair this with, the look is just perfect.

4. The Overnight Restorative Cream, AUGUSTINUS BADER

Augustinus Bader’s first-ever night cream promises waking up to skin that’s replenished and revitalised. The formula consists of its proprietary Advanced TFC8® that aids in accelerated renewal of skin cells, as well as a melatonin-mimicking extract to visibly reduce signs of fatigue. Proper sleep is still required, of course.

5. BR-X5 Meteorite, 41mm steel case with rubber strap, BELL & ROSS

This Bell & Ross timepiece is quite literally, out this world. Crafted with a dial that’s cut from the Muonionalusta meteorite, a material dating back 4.5 billion years with a unique Widmanstätten pattern, no two BR-X5s are exactly the same, and the fact that there are only 250 pieces out there, means you’d be wearing something that’s almost one-of-a-kind.

6. Yuzu Grapefruit face mask cleanser, WHIPPED via SEPHORA

Let’s face it, we love a twofer... and that’s exactly what you’re getting with Whipped’s Yuzu Grapefruit Face Mask Cleanser. You can use it as a typical facial cleanser, or slather on an even layer, leave it for about a minute and wash it off for smoother, and more radiant skin.

7. Loafers, TOD’S

Simplicity is often underrated. Tod’s may be more known for its driving loafers, but this pair of classic leather loafers is the epitome of timeless design you’d reach for in every outfit. On the outsole, you’d find Tod’s iconic pebbled rubber, and the upper is crafted from smooth calfskin with a gathered toe that has become a footwear trend of late.

8. Bradner backpack, TUMI

No one does function-first designs quite like Tumi. This handsome backpack opens up to an interior that’s been packed with plenty of zipped compartments, slip pockets and easily-accessible organisational details that only a user would be able to truly appreciate. It looks like a luxury backpack but acts like a piece of tech—what’s not to love?

9. Stud Up sneaker, VALENTINO GARAVANI

The Stud Up sneakers by Valentino Garavani are what you’d expect from creative director Alessandro Michele—a mix of seemingly incongruent elements. A butterfly motif flanks the outer side of each sneaker, while a studded strip lines the collar; the rest of the sneakers are combinations of different textures and colours, and yet, it all just works.

10. Medium Dior Médaillon messenger flap bag, DIOR

The knit Dior Médaillon messenger bag looks and feels comfy. The knit construction naturally lends a soft feel and moulds around the torso when worn crossbody. Rest assured that there’s plenty of space in the interior and it’s cleverly crafted to hold its shape (it’s lined with fabric) so it won’t be left misshapen after a few wears.
