Last season, BOSS joined forces with Russell Athletic to bring us a prep-fuelled collection that explored the intersection of tailoring and sportswear.
The collaborative capsule ranged from definitive sportswear in tracksuits and sweats all the way to high-end tailoring and elegant overcoats, naturally bridging the gap between the two brands, each masters in their own world.
For season two, BOSS x Russell Athletic takes baseball as its inspiration, providing a retro Americana foundation to build on the casualwear-tailoring crossover that defines the partnership.
BOSS x Russell Athletic season two brings a fresh perspective to the partnership, but really, the true power of this collection rests in the past.Taking inspiration from the archives of both brands, the pieces are underpinned by easy, ‘90s-style cuts that feel as relevant today as they did 30 years ago.
Much like the duo’s first collection, season two revolves around a strong base color palette. This time, classic dark blue, cream, and camel are highlighted by hits of orange and mineral blue that infer a sense of sporty style.
Alongside the color palette, texture plays a central role in the collection. Take the highlight varsity bomber jacket, for example, which features contrast chenille patches to reflect BOSS’s DNA of craft and quality and bring a luxurious edge to the sporty silhouette.
The collective spirit of team sports and the unique buzz of baseball is envisaged through the prism of the two labels.
Branding is not to be overlooked, either, thanks to the blended BOSS x Russell Athletic logo, which underlines the collection, giving a strong vintage angle to staple pieces like crewneck sweats which — if you didn’t already know — Russell Athletic counts as its own invention.
