Nick Wooster Talks About His LA-Inspired Collection with Five Four
“Comfort is not the enemy of style.”
Nick Wooster teams up with Five Four on a limited online collection for the holidays. Inspired by Los Angeles’ airports, restaurants, clubs, and sidewalks, Wooster designed the collaboration to reflect daily life in the City of Angels. Drawing on Wooster’s sophisticated eye for fabrics and fits, the collection is conveyed in mixed media button-down shirts, eccentric leopard print bombers, and tartan plaid coats — all welcomed in a warm coastal color palette. Some standouts include reversible jackets featuring reflective fabrics and the bomber-inspired oxford shirt-jacket.
“We’ve taken really key, basic items, that I think are essential to every man’s wardrobe, striped oxford cloth shirts for instance, and given them a slight twist. The hope is that when a guy puts this on, he stops and thinks, ‘hey, someone really thought about this for me’,” Wooster said.
