Streetwear label Places+Faces has launched its "final drop of the year," a diverse selection of retro-inspired pieces with a focus on winter-ready looks.
The new collection features a wide range of garments, including tracksuits, heavy sweaters, puffer jackets, crewneck sweatshirts, hoodies, and t-shirts. The new eye-catching puffers come in two versions: a two-tone jacket in teal and olive green and a reversible iteration dressed in all-black on one side and gray and khaki on the other. In addition, both puffers feature an adjustable hood and waist.
Another standout item within the collection is the full tracksuit, which is delivered in a neutral brown with Places+Faces text written in Old English font. Rounding out the capsule is a selection of graphic tees featuring retro video game-inspired illustrations.
