SUPREME REMINDS US WHO’S BOSS
Happy Supreme preview to those that celebrate!
The FW26 collection feels massive. It brings some obvious bangers like the Box Logo leather jacket by Jeff Hamilton or the De Sede couch that’s going to cost an arm and a leg.
While there is always a place and time for a louder piece from Supreme, I am a bit older now, so I tend to gravitate towards the clothes that have a little bit more wearability down the line. These are the more quiet pieces that have little to no branding, which to some may seem boring, but that’s where the real heat is at.
Supreme always drops a couple of shirt bangers that seem to fly under the radar. The quilted flannel is a classic, but the Frayed Texture Plaid Shirt might be the most important item in the collection. Absolute sleeper.
Supreme has been making some of the best denim for years and it’s honestly surprising to see them be in that iykyk category. I don’t mind it though, because I’m not trying to battle anyone online for sizes.
Is grandpa swag back in full swing for FW26? The Sequin Faux Fur zip up and the Metallic Fair Isle Cardigan seem to point in that direction, and I don’t hate it.
I just stumbled upon across the Boucle Small Logo sweater that is another certified banger. I guess I missed it during my first few scroll bys, but either way, this one is good — this is the reminder to go back and look at the collection a few times, it’s easy to miss stuff, and you will always end up liking something that you didn’t at first.
Overall the collection is solid. Let’s hope the collaborations can further support that this season. Curious to know what items you’re feeling so drop your comments below.
NEW FROM EARTH\STUDIES
This is a fan favorite because anytime I write about Earth\Studies you guys go crazy. I don’t blame you because the stuff is good.
Earth\Studies newest collection continues experimenting with new fabric tech that’s designed to keep you cool in the heat. The AerTension™ collection isn’t going to sit on their website for long, so I would recommend acting fast before your sizes are gone.
Additionally, Meridian also has some stock available on their site here just in case.
