[Lemaire](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/objets-senteur) and Sunspel work in collaboration on a collection for the Spring/Summer 2019 season, spotlighting minimal designs that are perfect for layering. The staple pieces perfectly fuse inspirations from cross-culturally from Sunspel's English roots and the French's precise cuts.

The [small capsule features four pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jah-jah-studio-x-comme-des-garons-shirt) in total, including a lightweight shirt jacket, wide-cut pants, mesh tee, and a large tank top. The pants and jacket are available in a black or brown colorway option, whereas the two shirts are available in a light gray, midnight blue, or cinnamon orange colorway. The range ensures Lemaire's contemporary design approaches and Sunspel's fabric material. There is also a pajama inspiration infused in the pocket details of the tops and trousers' cut.
