ASOS WHITE has only delivered womenswear up until this season and the new range stays true to its [minimal approach](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galilee-by-sea). It is packed with essential silhouettes that have highly versatile elements. Comprised of 90 pieces in total, the collection is crafted in a neutral color scheme to further push the envelope of versatility and simplicity. Materials used to construct the pieces include fine wool for warmth in the colder seasons and heavyweight jersey for layering options. The [expansive capsule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlo-u-fw25) itself is comprised of pieces including puffer jackets, tailored suits, trousers, sneakers, leather backpacks, sunglasses and more.
