Today’s hype-fueled fashion landscape yields a mountain of fresh menswear every month. Which is why every issue of GQ now includes The Drops, a guide to the best of the best new gear as it hits stores. This month, we’ve concocted the ultimate holiday gift guide for fashion freaks—including Troye Sivan's sultry scent of choice and the season's biggest, boldest designer sneakers.
WAVY WALLET
Your wallet should be efficient, yes—big enough to hold a few cards and some cash, slim enough to not bulge repulsively in your pocket—but that doesn’t mean it has to be boring. This swoopy, two-toned calfskin number from Ferragamo is right on the money ($350).
CHOMPIN’ CHOKER
Not sure you can pull off grills? This toothy Medea necklace—plated in gold and platinum and riddled with gems—is a freaky next best ($517).
RADIANT RECEPTACLES
The wavy contours on Yew Yew’s jazzy, stackable glass ashtrays aren’t merely aesthetically pleasing—they’re designed to hold your joints in place between puffs ($45 each).
STUDDED SLIP-ONS
By dotting the smooth suede outer with tiny gold baubles, Ernest W. Baker inflected the consummate prep loafer with a punk flair ($520).
BLACKJACK BOMBER
The playing card suits stitched on to the pockets of this Bode suede jacket might conjure gambling, but any fit you pair it with will be a guaranteed winner ($2,500).
FACIAL FURNITURE
Give your living room a playful jolt via this MoMA Design Store oak side table, dreamed up by Singaporean designer Nathan Yong, which’ll keep a watchful eye on all your game nights and NFL Sundays ($1,390).
SMASH-HIT SCENT
Ever wondered what Troye Sivan finds attractive? A spritz of Luca—the earthy fragrance from the pop star’s new lifestyle brand Tsu Lange Yor—should get you in the ballpark. “Luca,” Sivan recently told Vogue, “is so hot to me when I imagine anyone wearing it” ($145).
HARDY HOOD
When the winter temps hit blistering lows, Chopova Lowena’s fiery fleece hood will keep your ears from freezing and your fits from failing ($125).
RIGHTEOUS ROLLIE
With one of Hulken’s mammoth roller bags in tow—beloved by fashion-industry pros for their prodigious hauling capacity and utilitarian good looks—your laundry days and grocery runs won’t know what hit ’em ($90).
FLASHY FUR
How do you make a sumptuous shearling coat feel even more opulent? If you’re Coach, you accent the shaggy exterior with a smooth leather collar that drapes alluringly across the shoulders ($2,400).
RADIANT WRIST CANDY
Most onlookers will be taken aback by the 530 diamonds on this Bulgari stunner; true connoisseurs will be more smitten with the exposed movement ($10,000).
CRISP CARRYALL
Pharrell: Carbon, Pressure & Time: A Book of Jewels documents the polymath’s epic jewelry collection through interviews with the likes of Tyler, the Creator (Rizzoli New York, $65).
TWO-WAY TOTE
This Loewe calfskin bag can house a carry-on’s worth of gear; fold in its geometric panels, however, and you’ve got a flat, compact package you can stash just about anywhere ($3,450).
TIDY TUX
From the rakishly trim lapels to the hidden front placket, this Givenchy dinner jacket is about as clean and concise as black-tie attire can get ($2,800).
CHOPPY CHAIN
The glossy sterling silver oozes pure Tiffany & Co. polish, but the jagged heavyweight links lend this necklace an edge you don’t typically find in the jeweler’s blue boxes ($3,500).
RIGHT-NOW NECKWEAR
Juiced up with a shot of Moschino’s graphic chutzpah, the age-old floral tie suddenly feels brand new ($97).
CRAGGY CERAMIC
The rough-hewn surface of this handmade Editions Milano vase is meant to replicate the eroding effects of water and wind on rock ($735).
GRIPPING GLASSES
London upstart Kimeze’s architectural shades pair fine Italian craftsmanship with fresh shapes and vibey hues ($305).
CRISP CHRONOMETER
With its complicated movement and platinum case, this Omega Globemaster Annual Calendar—made in an edition of 52—is an understated grail ($53,000).
LUSH LUGGAGE
Rimowa’s aluminum trunks have long been the most covetable and luxurious suitcases on the planet. Now the German brand has upped the ante with a version stealthily coated in rich leather ($3,475).
FUNKY FLUTES
Anna Karlin’s scene-stealing glassware is blown entirely by hand in New York, so no two of the loopy stems are exactly alike (Anna Karlin Furniture + Fine Objects, $398).
TINY TICKER
Teensy watches have never been hotter. Longines’s refreshed Mini DolceVita, with its Art Deco bracelet and less-than-an-inch-wide case, is one of the absolute teensiest out ($1,850).
TRENDY TUPPERWARE
Resolved to finally bring your own lunches to work in 2024? This Supreme Pyrex bowl set will help make meal prep feel a little bit cooler ($60).
SWERVY SNEAKERS
Streetwear kids can’t get enough of Brain Dead and Oakley’s gorpy, sci-fi footwear collabs—and these chunky-sole wonders, with Mary Janes–esque exposed panels across the uppers, are easily the sickest kicks the duo have dropped yet ($165).
TORQUED-UP TRUCKER
Two iconic American outerwear styles—the rugged trucker jacket and the bodacious shearling coat—fused together with characteristic panache by Dior Men designer Kim Jones ($6,400).
DESIRABLE DEVICE
Not since Steve Jobs announced the OG model in 2007 has a new iPhone felt as pulse-raisingly irresistible as Apple’s titanium 15 Pro (starting from $999).
SUNNY SPEAKER
In stark contrast to Saint Laurent Rive Droite’s dark, moody menswear, this splash-proof rubber Bluetooth radio—a collaboration between the house and Lexon—radiates nothing but joy ($105).
BLAZING BAND
Orange sapphires and brushed gold combine to make this 42 Suns eternity ring look every bit as scorching as the label’s name would suggest ($2,475).
TOASTY TOPPER
A man can’t survive the winter on beanies alone. Let this cozy flannel Isabel Marant bucket liven up your headwear rotation ($270).
SHOWY SET
Leave the ugly sweaters to everyone else—these jauntily striped 4SDesigns chore coat and trousers, tailored from a luminous cotton-silk blend, are the kind of festive dressing we can get behind (jacket, $1,388, and pants, $981).
SHARP SPIRIT
Nothing gets a holiday party jumping quite like a bottle of Lalo, the stylish tequila launched by the grandson of the actual Don Julio ($45).
FLUID FOOTWEAR
New York’s Stòffa has earned a cult following for its soft tailoring and drapey knits, and this supple, Italian-crafted spin on the classic suede desert boot slides seamlessly into the label’s effortless universe ($650).
WARPED WATCH
Fourteen years after their first linkup, Movado has tagged in Pop art legend Kenny Scharf for another round of slick timepieces emblazoned with the painter’s twisted surrealist visions ($695).
COSMONAUT COAT
Thom Browne’s signature flannel suiting tends to invoke buttoned-up 1950s office life; this gleaming down parka feels more akin to the retro-futuristic glamour of the space-crazed ’60s ($2,800).
SPARKLY SHADES
Most sunglasses shield you from blinding glare. T Henri’s one-of-one pair—encrusted with over 100 hand-set diamonds—actually creates it ($9,999).
BRASH BUCKET
Balenciaga Skiwear Collection teamed with Italian ski savants Briko on a helmet worthy of black diamond speed demons, luxing up the dome with an inky sheen and louche leather accents ($1,090).
MELLOW MULES
Fashioned from real-deal calfhair, these Dries Van Noten house shoes are a sizable step-up from the fuzzy slippers your sister gave you for Christmas in 1995 ($860).
