Brownstone's latest drop is rooted in American workwear heritage. The silhouettes in the capsule seek to reinterpret these traditional designs through a contemporary lens. As a result, the apparel is accented through the incorporation of some subtly artistic motifs and it embraces a certain degree of minimalism. Titled 'I Like It Here Can I Stay?: Rude Boys & Girls Club, USA,' the garments in the American workwear-based capsule is unisex.
Androgynous styles have become exceptionally dominant in the narrative of contemporary streetwear. Brownstone accents this straight-forward aesthetic with a few whimsical graphic motifs — from the sequenced 'Rude Boys & Girls Club' patch on the navy blue bomber to the sketch-style cocktails that adorn a pair of button-up short-sleeve shirts.
