Bel-Air Athletics is back for Spring/Summer 2021, with a collection and aesthetic focused on collegiate-inspired basics and sports-influenced designs. The label, originally founded by Will Smith, is kicking off its relaunch with a new lookbook shot in Milan.

The collection itself features a range of classic basics and staples, including trackpants, T-shirts and sweats. Elevating this selection are stand-out items including a premium blazer in the brand’s “Lining Paisley” print and a series of colorblocked, matching windbreaker pieces.

Beginning the new approach, Bel-Air Athletics is launching a limited-edition drop featuring a light-blue varsity jacket. This jacket is produced from an eco-friendly, recycled wool. Other features of the jacket include sleeves from vegetable leather and a series of embroidered appliqués. As well as the jacket, the first drop features branded shorts, tees, tracksuits and more.

In anticipation of the full SS21 collection, the first pieces have released now through the Bel-Air Athletics web store. Take a look through the wider collection in the gallery above, and keep an eye out for new releases.
