These layered looks from OTHER UK blend street fashion with high quality seamlessly, offering a collection that's versatile, classic and edgy all rolled into one.
The British company explains its progression by saying "With every collection the brand continues to grow and evolve while blurring the lines between modern and vintage fashion alongside alternative and urban styling." This describes the 2016 collection perfectly, as the layered looks feature distressed jeans and classic flannels with more refined and modern elements. In doing this, OTHER UK takes inspiration from street fashion over different periods of time and areas and combines them into a collection that contrasts and complements at the same time. The brand shows how different looks can be achieved through multiple layers or simplistic two-part ensembles.
