Neil Barrett brings cool minimalism to menswear.
Known for his classic but comfortable menswear pieces, English fashion designer Neil Barret has debuted his pre-spring/summer lookbook. As expected, it is all about minimalism, monochromatic tones, crisp tailoring and linear structure, which is true to the essence of the brand.
The understated yet modern sporty collection features interchangeable pieces in a colour palette of white, cream, black, grey, navy blue and browns. Expect wool and ribbed sweaters, biker and bomber jackets, printed collar shirts, hooded sweatshirts, and multiple topcoats. For the bottoms, there are the very cool biker jeans, trousers, and athletic shorts while accessorising them with backpacks, high-top and low-lop sneakers to complete the look.
The collection will be available early next year.
