Given the cultural diversity and the rich artistic expression in the city, New York streetwear style can be divided into a few region-specific categories. Contemporary local fashion label The Good Company decides to pay tribute to the spring aesthetics of the Lower East Side with a graphic range of tees, socks, hats, tote bags, long sleeves, hoodies, and even " a lightweight Nalgene water bottle."
From the baseball hats that spotlight a minimalist squiggly line and the turtle-inspired graphic long-sleeve crewneck to the couroroy-textured bucket hat and the grey sweat suit with graffiti-inspired motifs, the Lower East Side New York streetwear collection is cozy, interesting and playful.
