The latest Engineered Garments Fall/Winter 2019 collection recently debuted and it draws strong design influences from militaristic and safari elements. The main component that encapsulates the theme is highlighted by the plethora of deep pockets, elevating functionality. There is also a sense of American outerwear inspirations, translated through some sportswear silhouettes and uniform-like designs.
There is a wide range of seasonal pieces this year, boasting oversized shapes across apparel and headwear selections. As a nod to the safari themes, there are a series of animal prints adorning some of the apparel in a muted manner. Some of the spotlighted pieces include the tall hats, tactical vests, and the corduroy blazer, which directly references the New Romantic movement that boomed in the late 70s.
