IVY PARK and adidas continue to work alongside one another as the duo continues to expand its collection for the season, offering 68 designs in total. The capsule boasts the name PARK TRAIL and highlights a gorp-core theme this time around through utilitarian looks that celebrate the "journey and the destination" as described by the two efforts.
The main focus of the designs highlights functionality above all else as most of the items can be reversed, flipped, or detailed with a wide range of pockets. This can be seen on items such as bucket hats that are designed with a slew of convenient pouches or scarves that can be worn in reverse that have pockets and high collars.
