Esquire 10: The "Life Well-Styled" Edit

A curation of items for a well-styled life
Published: 8 September 2026

1. Speedmaster 38, 38mm steel case with steel bracelet, OMEGA

Omega’s Speedmaster 38 receives an update that’s arguably more style-led than its predecessor. The oval subdials are more circular for a sportier look, which leans towards the aesthetic codes of the Moonwatch. The overall dial design is also more minimalist, with less typography. For this particular iteration, it features a polished stainless steel bezel with a blue ceramic ring to contrast handsomely against the white.

2. Lindy 41 bag, HERMÈS

The Hermès Lindy—known for its slouchy look—is often thought of as a women’s bag owing to its typically smaller size. This refreshed version is the biggest in recent memory (the Maison produced a 45cm version that’s now discontinued) with ample space as a work bag. It is best worn crossbody, where its soft construction moulds comfortably to the torso.

3. Christopher East West MM backpack, LOUIS VUITTON

It’s difficult to tell from just one look, but this Christopher East West backpack is unlike the usual Monogram canvas iterations that are signatures of Louis Vuitton. Crafted from Silk Tech, an innovation that combines the softness of silk with the technical durability of nylon, this backpack feels luxurious while being water-repellent and lightweight. Perfect for every stylish journey you’ll embark on.

4. T-320 toolbox, BEYOND THE VINES X TOYO STEEL

Beyond The Vines’ interpretation of Toyo Steel’s toolbox is what you’d expect from the Singaporean-born brand. Its interior has canvas inserts that slot in seamlessly and are colour-coded for easier organisation of your tools. And much like Toyo Steel’s other toolbox variations, this looks just as good as a display piece as it does as a functional item.

5. Tie, POLO RALPH LAUREN

One can never go wrong with a Polo Ralph Lauren tie. As a brand known for its preppy cool aesthetic, this tie naturally favours collegiate signatures, which also means that it’s versatile enough to be worn across both formal and more casual settings. Wear this with a white shirt and switch between a blazer and a denim jacket as two fuss-free examples.

6. Another Hendrick's, HENDRICK’S GIN

This is the kind of bottle you’d display rather than drink from... but we urge you to imbibe from it nonetheless. Visually, it’s a standout—how could you compete with an all-white design? And the palate for Another Hendrick’s (what a cheeky name) is crafted with 11 botanicals and infused with orange blossom and cacao for that citrus-forward flavour with a velvety smooth indulgence.

7. Original cabin suitcase, RIMOWA

Sleek design meets sophisticated colour in RIMOWA’s latest permanent colourway addition to its Original line. Ink Blue is a deep blue hue that’s resplendent when stationary, but beautifully catches the light when the suitcase is in motion. Dare we say this is RIMOWA’s most exciting permanent colour yet?

8. Sergio Walk derby shoes, LORO PIANA

A shoe is only a shoe until it’s reworked in the meticulous manner that Loro Piana is known for. The Sergio Walk derbies reference the brand’s signature Sergio loafers with an elongated profile and vamp design. Here, it is crafted in suede yet impeccably refined in its craftsmanship.

9. Hat, PRADA

It’s time to trade that bucket hat for this wide-brimmed version from Prada’s Autumn/Winter 2026 menswear runway. A piece of impeccable character—almost old-school private investigator-esque—it’ll shield you from the heat of the sun, the beating of rain, and perhaps the falling of snow at your next winter vacation.

10. Moment After eau de parfum, BOTTEGA VENETA

As part of Bottega Veneta’s Alta fragrance line, Moment After evokes the feeling of the subtle thrill of a beautiful encounter. A slight spiciness of bergamot and pink pepper hits you before the fragrance settles into the warmth of leather and vanilla. An easy fragrance to wear year-round, it also comes in a bottle that also looks great anywhere you place it.
