Retro Collegiate-Themed Streetwear

Karhu's FW 2021 Collection is Packed with Casual Campus Looks

— October 15, 2021 — Fashion
Karhu's Fall/Winter 2021 collection has officially been released, and it is chock-full of eye-catching looks that blend athletic heritage apparel with campus collegiate styles.

The collection presents a wide range of highly wearable garments, including heavyweight sweatshirts, baggy cargo pants, and t-shirts in beige, blue, green, and coral. The new Karhu t-shirts feature the brand's signature Mestari 'M' logo and offer a slightly oversized fit. Elsewhere, the new 'Sport Bear Logo Sweatshirt' reimagines the Helsinki Sport logo.

A recurring theme throughout the collection is the presence of retro-inspired stipes. The 'Uni Striped Sweater' boasts a large striped pattern with a distinctly vintage, embroidered Karhu logo. Finally, the capsule also offers three new pairs of multicolored sneakers -- the 'Aria 95,' 'Legacy 96,' and 'Synchron Classic.'
