The best part of living in a city like New York is leaving, which is something that Anthony Thomas Melillo, designer behind contemporary basics and lifestyle brand ATM, seems to always keep in mind. Born and based in the city, but also splitting time between the Hamptons and Florida, he knows how to create timeless and comfortable pieces for those moments in transition.
The collection is a rich tonal assortment of sophisticated casual pieces — the soft color palette is as soothing as an ASMR video. Light cozy t-shirts and airy cashmere sweaters are displayed alongside fitted chinos with raw hems to keep it cool. Additionally, ATM makes a case for the cargo pant, updating the polarizing trouser with a tailored fit and subtle designer-frays.
As a former high school senior who would refuse to let anyone wearing cargo pants in my car, the latest offering from ATM looks refreshingly current. But staying on trend is not what Melillo is interested in.
