If you are new to the racing world, you may just be cutting your teeth into the awesomeness of Formula 1. It is easy to do since it has expanded recently into two new US cities, Miami and Vegas, with the latter completely reconfiguring the strip for last November’s race. However, Austin’s race occurred on October 20th, with Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz taking the two top spots for Team Ferrari. But there was another visitor there, PacSun. For the second straight year, the West Coast legend showed up with a collaborative collection combining the two giant brands—the second collaboration involving a little western this year for the brand.

“For this year’s launch, we’ve expanded the collection to offer something for everyone, making it possible for fans, including entire families, to show their passion for Formula 1 in style,” said Richard Cox, CMO of Pacsun. “By also providing early access to purchase the collection, we’re giving fans the chance to secure their favorite pieces ahead of race weekend. And by being on-site in Austin, we’re able to bring that excitement directly to them, merging the excitement of F1 and the spirit of Pacsun in one experience.”

The brand showed up in Austin with a booth allowing customers to shop the new line. They were also treated to a tote bag and a photo moment, where they were able to immerse themselves in both the fashion of PacSun and the speed of Formula 1.

The limited-edition drop features 75 new styles and silhouettes in the men’s collection (along with 26 in the women’s and 19 in the kids), including denim pants, stylish vests, and signature trucker hats, along with t-shirts, hoodies, crewnecks, and jackets. The most significant statement piece is a flared jean with a wide-leg pant that channels Austin for a Western feel.

Wax London keeps you stylish even at home

English-based brand debuts first loungewear

Wax London Loungewear top

We love the opportunity to get out into the world and experience all it offers. We love seeing new things, trying new things, and learning new things. And, then, there are some days when we would instead order the most unhealthy things we can find on Uber Eats, turn on a comfort show on Netflix, and get reacquainted with our favorite show. Having a lazy day is an underrated luxury we love to experience, but that doesn't mean we must sacrifice style. Sure, we can just lay around in dirty sweats and be completely useless all day. Or we can still find ways to capture our style and feel good about ourselves even at home. That is where Wax London comes in with the launch of their newest project.
The release of their debut loungewear

Wax London is particularly known for its stylish overshirts, which keep you effortlessly warm (and cool at the same time) on your outings. They are loved by celebrities like Bradley Cooper and are top-notch in the overshirt category. So, it is no surprise they branched out to cover the indoor need for effortless warmth and style. The new collection gives us the Ripley Shirt and Hutton Trousers, each in four designs in matching sets. The patterns offered are striking black paisley as the most unique and three more classic loungewear looks in a wide stripe, a royal stewart plaid, and a dark solid. Each of these offers comfort and style to your day at home.
