Alexander Wang Recalls Casual American Staples Imbued With a Subtle New York Edge
From boxy baseball apparel to wool pinstriped shirts.
After dropping its Stadium Sneakers from last month, Alexander Wang has offered up a trio of casual staples imbued with retro inspirations in the form of a pinstripe button-down, short sleeve shirt and boxy baseball apparel.
First up is the wool Locharron Shirt, decked with various pinstripe patterns that are parted by the sleeves, front body, chest pocket and back yoke. Muted tones of burgundy, cream white, navy and mustard yellow appear throughout the piece, while gold buttons and a solid black fleece hood round up the design.
The next piece is the Printed Silk Short Sleeve Shirt, sporadically emblazoned with faded prints of vintage watches. Constructed in a relaxed cut, the shirt sees ’50s-style open-collar lapels with subtle details like black buttons and a thin “ALEXANDER WANG” logo tag under the chest pocket.
Finally, the Heavy Terry Hybrid Hoodie merges together two classic silhouettes — the baseball tee and a simple black hoodie. The piece sees a boxy raglan build that comes with black stripes and graphics across the front and back. Using cotton twill fabric, “NEW YORK” is sewn over the front, while the back is etched with “WANG” and the number “88.” Other details like an embroidered logo at the left sleeve and a branded red patch at the bottom hem finish off the garment.
All three garments are currently available at alexanderwang.com, ranging from $595 to $795 USD.
Elsewhere, Bode has released a set of eclectic corduroy jackets for FW19.
