Reese Cooper's Offerings for Spring/Summer 2020 are Chic

— July 1, 2019 — Fashion
Reese Cooper debuts his latest designs for the Spring/Summer 2020 season. The silhouettes definitely communicate a strong rustic charm that is only highlighted by expert tailoring, choice of materials and combination of garments.

For Spring/Summer 2020, Reese Cooper takes stylistic cues from the U.S. Postal Service -- namely for the graphics and prints, instilling the collection with a rather patriotic vibe. In addition, the capsule calls attention to a "hand-painted camo design [that] makes up a custom fabric." This is a nice, personable touch by Reese Cooper. The silhouettes themselves are quite utilitarian and militant in some cases. The recurring checkered motif, especially on the trousers, make the designs a little bit more accessible, laid-back and sophisticated.

In addition, Reese Cooper's Spring/Summer 2020 collection boasts garments made with recycled paper and cotton where possible.
