Laidback Men's Formal Wear

N. HOOLYWOOD's New Collection Merges Casual and Formal Wear

N.HOOLYWOOD COMPILE, a premium menswear label known for its retro-inspired designs, has announced the launch of its Fall 2022 collection, a concise capsule that continues founder Daisuke Obana‘s exploration of dressed-up comfort clothes.

First revealed during New York Fashion Week, the new collection delivers a range of pieces that blend casual and formal wear. Interestingly, unique prints that are designed to mimic the looks of natural fabrics, including woven wool and corduroy, are featured throughout the collection. Meanwhile, other genuine materials such as suede and mouton offer the new garments a casual lightness.

Lastly, several classic silhouettes, such as suit jackets and overcoats, have been reimagined via more wearable design codes and therefore boast relaxed cuts and laid-back patterning. In addition to the new collection, N.HOOLYWOOD COMPILE has released a pre-fall lookbook.
