Japanese fashion label Iroquois introduced a series of provocative menswear designs for the Spring/Summer 2020 season. It explores elegant looks that are packed with baggy tops and oversized trousers as well as playful; graphic tees and shirts. The wide trousers set the foundation of the seasonal collection's overall design language, rooted in heavy patternings informed on the shirts and relaxed tailored cuts.
The tailored detailing adds a touch of formal elements to designs that appear to be relaxed. Additionally, the collection also features billowy trench coats and soft knitwear that are accompanied by denim coats for layering. This offering is perfectly paired with the flared jeans and raw-hemmed denim to form an elegant Canadian tuxedo. For additional layering options are the cardigans and light sweaters and accessories include ties and berets.
