Described by its infamous creator as a "solutions-based" line, Yeezy Season 1 is full of casually distressed pieces that are functional and warm as well as fashionable.

Found in the Yeezy Season 1 lookbook are unisex outfits that -- considering their source -- are remarkably toned-down and practical. Included in Kanye West's collaboration with adidas are cozy-looking yet elegant sweatpants, structurally designed sweaters, simple camo-print tees and minimally fur-adorned outerwear. Puckered hems and heavy-duty rips in a few pieces give Yeezy Season 1 the post-apocalyptic feel that characterized West's runway shows, and one of the female models wears a fantasy-driven see-through bodysuit with thong and crop top; otherwise, the collection looks highly wearable and easily incorporated into a stylish streetwear wardrobe.
