I hope you're ready to bring plaid back, because the Edwin 2010 Fall collection sure is. Taking its influence partly from what the label calls "the post-Vietnam unrefined fashion," this line features a selection of outerwear that certainly can handle the elements and the outdoors. With wool jackets, fleece sweaters and cotton button-downs, this label prides itself on offering stylish workwear that you can sport pretty much anywhere.
The Edwin 2010 Fall collection is a nice alternative to high fashion with its subtle simple pieces, yet offers enough contemporary style so that you don't feel like you're wearing your grandfather's clothes.
