Workwear imprint Carhartt WIP introduces its newest collection designed for the Spring/Summer 2022 season entitled City Wander. It is spotlighted by its muted tonal palette to welcome the warmer seasons and channels comfortable energy this time around.
The brand draws inspiration from the busy streets of Tokyo, infusing urban design language into the wearables. This season, the brand centers on a sense of practicality through sturdy looks and relaxed shapes. It includes cozy silhouettes such as crewneck sweaters in an oversized shape, work vests, chore jackets, collared windbreaker jackets, and much more. Notably, the brand launches a special lookbook to style the outfits in a layered look for that seasonal transition feel and true to Japanese streetwear style.
