Workwear label Dickies and Opening Ceremony launch a 10 piece range of colorful and comfortable clothing that features vibrant overalls, lightweight windbreakers, classic "workwear pants [and] workwear shirts."
The Spring/Summer 2018 contemporary fashion line was handled through Dickies' sub-branch -- Dickies 1922. The silhouettes are heavily reminiscent of the boxy and minimalist aesthetic of the workforce. They were informed by Dickies 1922 "extensive design archive" and the sub-branch's interest in exploring historic cultures and society structures.
While the chromatic aspect of the workwear Spring/Summer 2018 collection definitely gives the pieces a modern and eye-catching representative aspect, the capsule highlights the vibrant overalls. The full-length pieces not only offer superior comfort, but they also fit into the category of 90s nostalgia. Their silhouette, as well as the colorful options, ensure that the vibrant overalls will be the first to go.
