For its Fall/Winter 2016 season, Parisian menswear brand Applecore unveiled a fresh line of athletic wear that's more than stylish enough for everyday wear.
As HYPEBEAST reports, the series doesn't stay true to a singular theme -- drawing from "soccer, French slang terms and cubism." With this is mind, the Parisian menswear brand unites a modern and minimalist look with just the right amount of vintage inspiration.
The latter is clear in many of the pieces, in both the velour material used and the beige and brown tones that decorate it. In other instances, Applecore features deep gray, black and red. Although sweats make up the majority, the collection also includes tapered pants with statement branding and weather-resistant jackets.
