Lugz recently unveiled its Holiday collection and it draws strong inspiration from the mid-90s, allowing retro design elements to shine through. The range is full of accessories and outerwear options that are prepared for the colder season, designed from an angle that explores utilitarian themes as well.
Although the main inspiration behind the Lugz collection turns to the past, there are some details that ensure that the pieces are perfectly modern as well. The collection seamlessly balances a sense of adventure with style due to the functionality of the designs and the casual ease of street-ready purposes. A returning item from last season is the Varsity fleece hoodie in the colorway of black and oatmeal with a chenille logo.
