The South2 West8 Spring/Summer 2021 capsule is full of outdoorsy looks that transition into the season. The designs are full of patterns and made from weatherized fabrics to protect wearers from any terrain. The eclectic seasonal capsule features a blend of light layers for style liberty.
This includes a series of button up shirts, water-resistant tracksuits, camo patterned field jackets, graphic tees, vests, shorts, overalls, mesh trousers, and more. There are also pink and black iterations of some outerwear pieces including the signature River Trek Over Vest, the Weather Effect Jacket, and River Trek Jacket. Notably, as a nod to the heritage, the intricate camo print that details the pieces are inspired by the scenic forests in Hokkaido.
