Repurposed Patched Denim Shirts

The Greg Lauren Spring/Summer 2018 Line Delivers Unique Designs

— April 3, 2018 — Fashion
The latest Greg Lauren Spring/Summer 2018 collection delivers a unique approach to denim cuts and details. The label delivers seasonal pieces that boast a simplistic color palette, but makes loud statements with its heavy patchwork and frayed accents. Greg Lauren effortlessly infuses blends of contrasting fabric materials and colors together. This is seen on pieces such as the 90s-style denim and plaid-blended shirt, as well as the patchwork trousers.

Some of the pieces in the new Greg Lauren Spring/Summer 2018 capsule include the half buttoned down shirt that is constructed with a indigo denim with a blend of checkered fabric. The vintage denim is detailed with a band collar, front pockets, and elongated sleeves with buttons. The pants are also constructed with vintage denim with a rise to the mid waist, enclosed with a button fly and contrasting drawstrings.
