Mr Porter is extending its in-house label Mr P. to include footwear and accessories starting with its September collection.

The luxury online men's retailer will launch eight footwear staples, including classic loafers, Derby shoes and white leather sneakers, which will form the basis of the essentials range, available year-round.

In addition to this it will introduce seven seasonal shoe styles for the winter season, including lace-up boots, a pair of suede desert boots and pair of shearling-lined walking boots.

To complement the footwear three pairs of cotton essentials socks in grey, black and navy for everyday use will be launched, alongside nine pairs of heavy-gauge seasonal styles in various patterns and colourways, designed to wear under heavier footwear in the winter season.

Finally Mr P. will also move into scarves with twill check options in blue and rust, double faced check styles in green and mustard taking inspiration from shirting in the mainline collection and an oversized navy wool and cashmere scarf with crimped detailing.

This September drop is Mr P.’s fifth collection and I am proud of how the brand has grown during this time. Introducing footwear is a significant moment for us and I am delighted to share the results: beautifully crafted shoes with the signature Mr P. aesthetic – meaning each pair fits perfectly with the mainline apparel," said Mr Porter style director Olie Arnold.

"This ready-to-wear collection introduces easy pieces that will fit effortlessly into men’s wardrobes. My favourite styles include the navy corduroy blouson, ideal for the transitional autumn months and the tan suede split toe boot, which will work perfectly with jeans this winter,” he added.

Buying director Fiona Firth added: “I am very excited to showcase Mr P.’s first ever footwear range. We have worked endlessly to source the best manufacturer to work with to master the shoes’ design and quality, and we are thrilled with the outcome. In the ready-to-wear collection, we have developed our tailoring and outerwear, introduced new cold-weather fabrics such flannel and fleece and presented both classic and new knitwear – a category that has been extremely popular with our customers in past seasons.”
