The 3sixteen Spring/Summer 2019 collection was recently unveiled and it is complete with an expansive selection of staple designs. The New York City-based fashion label highlights subtle details including plaid prints and polka dots to name a few. The patterned tops are constructed in Japan and it includes a hoodie, bomber jacket, pants, tees, and more.
The capsule makes use of lightweight fabrics including lyocell and linen to offer breathability during the warmer seasons. The overall design aesthetic fuses streetwear work workwear through a color palette of navy blue, olive green, and beige, evoking earthy hues. A key piece in the range spotlights the leisure top complete in navy blue tones in a vintage style cut at the Italian spread collar along with some functional guayabera pocketing.
