Subtle color hits and new pieces for spring season
With the change of seasons, we also welcome a change in our wardrobes. The weather is getting warmer, and the thick winter parkas are going back into the closet until next winter. Layering is the magic word. Lightweight jackets over long-sleeved sweatshirts, polo shirts, and shirts; windproof and rainproof anoraks over T-shirts and trousers made of wool, light denim, or twill are the new everyday uniform. Colorful Oxford or seersucker shirts over muted sweaters or under simple overshirt jackets provide spring-like color pops and create a casual look that can be adapted to the temperature. The sun is coming out and it's getting warm? Take off the sweater and roll up the shirtsleeves. It's getting chilly and the wind is picking up? Zip up the overshirt jacket over the sweater and layer the windproof jacket over it.
At Waterkant, we base our style inspiration primarily on three pillars: contemporary streetwear, Scandinavian minimalism, and techwear, or outdoor/functional clothing. Many of the following looks reflect these influences. Running sneakers from Saucony and Merrell, Keen's UNEEK sandals, and rain jackets from Haglöfs combine performance elements with sleek suit trousers and leather bags from Samsøe Samsøe, or simple bomber jackets from Elvine and graphic sweatshirts from Obey or Edmmond Studios.
The outfits can be assembled modularly, and all the pieces work together seamlessly. The color selection is based on basic tones like black, gray, beige, navy, and olive green, but is then broken up by earthy, pastel, or bright colors like a rich red or the subtle blue and white stripes of a classic button-down. Interesting washes, textures, or the occasional embroidery offer the eye something to linger on without overwhelming, thus creating a consistent look. The clash of high-quality materials like suede or smooth leather versus performance nylon, bungee cord, or running mesh is both interesting to look at and also gives the outfit the features it needs in fast-paced urban life: style, comfort, weather resistance, and versatility.
