The Engineered Garments SS11 lookbook, featured in the Japanese publication HUGE, reveals some stellar American styles that have gone through an extreme makeover. With [vibrant colors and rad patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir), the clothing stands out even on the most stoic, nonchalant of models.

Shown on an older generation of men, the Engineered Garments SS11 collection would definitely look just as great on a younger breed. The designs are a [wicked twist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-3-capsule-2) to [typical American menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beams-plus-fw25); I would love if every single one of these garments was in my closet.
