The North Face Urban Exploration launches the new Trotter Gold collection for the Fall/Winter 2020 season full of layering designs to ease into the colder weather. The expansive range of goods feature 16 designs in total that are gender fluid and are made up of outerwear silhouettes as well as soft sweaters, pants, and shackets.
The designs are made to be both water and windproof informed by the materials used during construction. The shacket is made from polyester resistant to weather highlighted by components such as the collar, placket, waist and chest pocket, and the shoulder pads. The sweaters are bold as well with contrasting designs on top of the options of bright teal or yellow.
