For the spring/summer 2019, Wrangler heads west to create a collection influenced by the retro sporty style that has been the fil-rouge of the recent collections of the iconic brand.
The theme is the American re-enactment, with western motifs and a range of colors that are inspired by a desert landscape with large blue skies and peach-colored sunsets, and stylistic details borrowed from the high-school sportswear of the ’80s. The result is a collection with a rich and evocative spirit, reinterpreted with contemporary energy.
For men, the subtle shades of the desert are at the base of the collection, with accents of orange, red and pink. Sunset colors are combined with dusty tones of beige and sand. The shades of lilac, jade and blue give a feeling of freshness and lightness. The country shirts are back in classic cowboy and checkered denim, while the t-shirts are decorated with bold graphics or vintage colors. In the collection are introduced decorative motifs such as paisley and the nostalgic eagle emblem. The unmistakable rainbow motif of Wrangler has been redesigned for the t-shirt with the logo, we also find stylized images of cactus on Cuban shirts, t-shirts and sweatshirts.
In the denim core range of the denim brand, we find the consolidated men’s fit: the thin and tapered Larston and the straight leg return of the Greensboro, flanked by the recently launched Slider, more abundant and with a straight leg from the middle of the thigh down. The gray washed denim is tinted with sandy shades, while the black has a earthy hue, to recall the country-inspired tone.
For the woman, the ’80s reign, inspiring the batwing sleeves of sweaters, t-shirts, tank tops and even a new silhouette of jeans. The earth tones give life to a new range of colors, combined with shades of peach, apricot and desert pink; while the pastel tones give a youthful and summer vitality. Vintage-style t-shirts are decorated with nostalgic desert graphics, while rainbow logos appear on t-shirts and overalls. A bold and suggestive tiger emblem is introduced, while the classic country shirts are reinterpreted with dark and romantic flower prints.
