Wasted Paris introduces its newest collection designed for the Fall/Winter 2021/2022 season. The main inspiration behind the capsule nods to the 90s and the prominent grunge scene during the era. The brand specifically focuses on Seattle during this decade. The color palette is predominantly neutral with hues of brown, dark blue, red, and terracotta. The silhouettes follow the same overarching theme and detail knitwear, outerwear, shirts, and knitwear.
The knitwear is the option that leads the seasonal collection. This is highlighted by a red sweater that is detailed with a flower graphic, the blue-gray tonal turtleneck, a large black and white checkered sweater, a red and black spiral sweater, and much more. The rest of the capsule includes carpenter pants, plaid jackets, puffer jackets, and more.
