Canadian-born brand Mackage made a name for itself with its [warm, chic winter jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fall-and-winter-line) but the company has surely expanded and in recent years it stuns consumers with versatile luxury outwear that is equally aesthetically alluring as it is highly functional. The Spring/Summer 2023 capsule is no different. Mackage debuts chic, eye-catching silhouettes—from trench coats and utility vets to outer shells that are resistant to wind. The brand boasts a healthy mix of a neutral color palette and vibrant nuances for those more adventurous. Additionally, the Spring/Summer 2023 versatile luxury outwear capsule emphasizes sustainability, both in production methods and materials.

In addition to its sophisticated outwear drops, Mackage has also been dabbling in [strategic partnerships with other brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-north-face-and-cecilie-bahnsen) and artists to enhance its visual presence.
