Recently, 66°North launched a striking technical fashion collection called 'Laugardalur.' Part of the brand's Spring/Summer 2024 release, this limited-edition line comprises six pieces of stylish and functional streetwear, designed with versatility in mind.
The Laugardalur technical fashion collection is named after the hot spring valley in central Reykjavík, paying tribute to the brand's hometown. The silhouettes feature breathable, lightweight, and water-resistant materials, which ensure that the garments are comfortable and protect wearers from the elements.
The Laugardalur Parka boasts a loose oversized shape ideal for layering, while the Laugardalur Women’s Jacket and Laugardalur Dress feature adjustment cords at the waist and hem for a flattering silhouette. The pullover Laugardalur Anorak, with its high neck and quarter zip design, serves as a casual staple for day-to-day wear. Additionally, the Laugardalur Shorts and Pants come with drawstring waist details for enhanced comfort. Available in three colorways–Black, Cold Desert, and a 'Tundra' digital camouflage print derived from an Icelandic landscape photograph–66°North's technical fashion collection offers a variety of options to suit different tastes.
