Californian-based fashion label Afield Out on a new collection designed for the Fall/Winter 2021 season. It features outdoor-friendly designs that come from a versatile angle. The root of the designs stems from muted options and minimal designs. The outerwear options are finished with graphic-treated designs that are functional and comfortable throughout the season.
One of the standout options in the seasonal collection includes the quilted down coat with water-resistant capabilities. It features a stark black colorway at the base foundation and is detailed with a variety of different hand-stitching patches in black and white on the left side of the design. The capsule also features a warm puffer coat that is finished in a militaristic green palette.
