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.

Slowear wants you to slow down in style this season with an After 6 collection

Look great in your choice of three colors from Slowear

Slowear Incotex Burgundy

The holiday season is coming to an end in the next few weeks. You have had the Halloween Party, the Thanksgiving Dinner, and the holiday celebrations. But there is one party left for you to prepare for, and that is the New Year Countdown. As you prepare for the calendar to rollover to 2025, you may be looking into which parties to attend and what to wear to those parties. Certain parties may require you to follow a specific dress code, and others may allow you to have all the fun you want. For us, there is only one way to dress for a celebration, and that is all out. That is what Slowear wants for you as well this season, and they dropped the Slowear After 6 capsule collection to help you dress the part as you ring in the new year.
Velvet is the fabric of the season

This capsule collection has one theme in mind: Velvet. They want you wearing the most extra of extra fabrics for the celebration and they want you to do so in the classic colors of the season. This double-breasted jacket and matching pants set come in three colors. The first is the navy, for which velvet seems to have been invented. This color is perfect for the New Year party but can also be worn virtually any other time of the year. They also offer the suit in burgundy, the perfect Christmas season color, as it brings a level of class and elegance to your look. And finally, you can opt for a forest color to stand out from the crowd. This is the less popular of the seasonal colors, but hold

Newest CAT collaboration collection sells out in first week

It was extremely popular and took no time to sellout

CAT x ASSC feature

CAT is as tough as you are. CAT has something for you, whether you are on a construction site, keeping the streets safe, or doing any other hard work vocation. They are the pinnacle of workwear and combine movability with durability while also never sacrificing what looks excellent as well. Then, some collaborations stand above the rest. Most recently, they collaborated with an MLS star to create a great-looking functional collection. However, the latest collaboration from CAT dropped on December 14th and may be the most popular yet, as it sold out in under a week. While the love for a short-run limited edition keeps these happening regularly, we can't lie and say we wish this one had gone on a little longer. We weren't quick enough, but for CAT x ASSC, it is a good problem to have.
Gone in a heartbeat

What made the collaboration so intriguing is the partly the other half of the creative collective. Anti Social Social Club began just under a decade ago when the founder, Neek Lurk (Andrew Buenaflor), used the creative aspect of the brand as an emotional outlet for his depression. Launching it on Twitter and becoming a viral statement of support for emotional health, the brand blew up and has been enjoyed by celebrities such as Kanye West and BTS. They do a lot of collaborations, so it is no surprise that the combination of their streetwear aesthetics combined with CAT's workwear reputation caused this collection to fly off the shelves. We will have to keep our ears to the ground for more coming down the pipe.

rag & bone wants to take you back with Harvey Collection

Dress like the days of Kennedy with knitted polos

Rag & Bone vintage car image

There was a time in our nation's history that felt like we saw something new and unprecedented every day, every week, every month. You had the hope and inspiration of the Space Race contradicting the fear and turmoil of the Vietnam War. Giant strides were made in the Civil Rights Movement, bringing pride and freedom to marginalized communities. And devastating setbacks were seen in the assassinations of two Kennedys and a King. It was an amazing and trying time, and the evolution of men's style went along for the ride. One of the fashion trends of the day was the knitted and crocheted polos that men wore to protests, marches, and celebrations. The style gave them a trendy casual look that built on the rebellious casualization of men in the 1950s and carried it into the subsequent decades. rag & bone reaches back to those memorable years of the mid-late century to bring us the Harvey Collection.
Capturing deep vintage 60s-70s

The first thing to take notice of in this collection is the reinvention of the fabrics with cotton blends that include cashmere. This gives an elevated feel to the casual look and, regardless of your rebellion, allows you to feel luxurious. The next thing to make these polos perfect for today is the updated color pallet. While the 60s and 70s were known for their browns and avocado greens, the reds, blues, blacks, and whites bring these into the now. And finally, an updated silhouette modernizes these looks, keeping the vintage feel without the outdated wide collars and flared hems.
