BUYER'S PICKS - MILAN FASHION WEEK

Checking in with END.’s buyers partway through Milan Fashion Week, we’ve spotlighted their favourite pieces of the season. From menswear and womenswear to lifestyle products, buyers from across END. have curated a selection of apparel and accessories to add to their transitional wardrobes. From layering pieces to statement footwear, elevate your outfits for Pre-Spring ’26.

"This is the kind of edit I’m drawn to right now because it feels current without trying too hard. The accessories are all items I’d actually use day to day. The lightweight Montbell tote and A.P.C. cardholder are genuinely practical. A classic leather belt and proper socks quietly pull everything together. They tap into what’s trending at the moment but none of them feel disposable or overly seasonal. The clothing follows the same thinking. The MKI Shearling Flight Jacket is a standout layer that instantly elevates any outfit, while the about:blank knit and shirt are reliable pieces you can wear without having to overthink it. The Beams Plus Chinos and Diemme boots keep things grounded and wearable. Overall, these are on-trend choices that won’t date quickly. They’re the sort of staples you’ll keep coming back to season after season."

"These pieces provide a snapshot of how I’m dressing right now — playful, a little bit off-beat but still appropriate for everyday. Jewellery is central to my personal style, not just an afterthought. These sparkly earrings & necklace by Ottolinger are dipped in rubber paint — I love the contrast of the thick, pigmented, cobalt blue against the shiny silver. Wedge-sneakers are back!  My favourite are these chunky ones by Ottolinger, they have a skater feel and aren’t too girly. I am so excited that we are working with Gimaguas this season and my top pick is the check print skort. The sports jersey trend has been around for ages but I’m still into it — this printed dress by Paolina Russo adds a graphic punch and feels new. It’s absolutely freezing in London right now so I will be layering up with the KNWLS Bellona tunic underneath, a pair of  Hommegirls tights and a cropped bomber jacket from the KNWLS x Miss Sixty collab. The Rick Owens Gemini bag adds a utilitarian edge, and I will be personalising it with the Maison Margiela dog bag dispenser. I have a Ridgeback who I’m completely obsessed with and walking her is part of my everyday life. This small, slightly ridiculous, luxury item turns a very unglamorous moment into a fashion statement and I love that!"

"As winter is in full swing in the UK, particularly in Newcastle, a great down jacket is essential, and the Altavia from FrizmWorks is a great option in a strong colour. Corridor’s flannel shirts are the best around, and a versatile layering piece at this time of year. The wash on these A.P.C. Rescue jeans is really strong, and I love the vintage outdoor aesthetic of Paraboot’s Montana silhouette. Gregory’s backpacks have been a great addition to our offer, previously the best ones were only available in Japan. A great pack for keeping your paraphernalia secure and dry. I’m never without a cap, and Corridor’s New York, New York version is a modern classic. A good belt and a good pair of socks are essential, and these are my favourite options at the moment."

"I’ve had this beautiful Nothing Written jacket on my wishlist since it launched. You can already tell the washed leather is only going to get better with wear. Leather is a trend that truly stands the test of time, and this piece feels like a considered investment, perfect for transitioning out of puffer weather. I’m layering the jacket with a slouchy adidas knit, an effortless throw on with a subtle nod to vintage sportswear. Ideal for days when comfort is a non-negotiable but looking pulled together still matters. A good tailored trouser is such a wardrobe essential for me, and these fluid wool ones from Róhe are honestly perfect. Effortless but still incredibly chic. I’m a big fan of pony hair shoes, and these animal print END. exclusive Bass Weejuns loafers add a fun twist without feeling too much. And because every outfit needs a bit of personality, I’m wearing this with the creepy teddy bag charm from the KNWLS x Miss Sixty collab and the Coperni heart tote. As someone who is never without a big tote absolutely stuffed with all the essentials (and then some), this one is hits the mark!"

"These are a few pieces I've been reaching for this season. First up the stainless-steel Arlo 03 cup from Service Projects. Double-walled to keep your coffee hotter for longer while remaining cool to the touch. Simple, functional and well thought out. Luxury candlemaker Trudon has been a welcome addition to our offering this season, with the Ernesto candle quickly becoming a firm favourite. Rich notes of leather, tobacco and rum bring warmth, depth and character to any space. The Buzz Rickson’s x Porter MA-1 Jacket is a standout piece, celebrated for its practicality and craftsmanship. It's a beautifully balanced piece that pulls an outfit together effortlessly, without feeling overstyled. We're also incredibly proud to be the exclusive stockist of this capsule outside of Japan."
