For those looking to advance their streetwear game to the next level, consider taking a turn with the Mr. Bathing Ape 2013 Fall/Winter Collection. While most streetwear brands are opting to focus more on popular street-inspired designs (camouflages, tribal and leopard prints,) and pieces (hoodies, snapbacks,) the Mr. Bathing Ape collection has decided to approach their pieces and designs with more of prep undertone.
The Mr. Bathing Ape 2013 Fall/Winter Collection is from the 'A BATHING APE' line, but features prep school-style pieces and aesthetics. These pieces include casual shirts, blazers, ties and premium sweaters. The designs do reflect their streetwear roots: camouflage patterns and subtle designs show through. Among these pieces is also washed denim, sporty parkas, and sleek sneakers. The Mr. Bathing Ape 2013 Fall/Winter Collection by 'A BATHING APE' drops later this month.
