The CONVERSE ESSENTIALS SPRING 2017 COLLECTION is back with a splash of colour to brighten up these dark days.
We’ll take a bit of cheer wherever we can get it at the moment, what with the world going to hell in a handbasket – and nothing says “summer relaxation” like a good pair of royal blue cut-off sweat shorts. Royal blue is much better than the February blues, and it’s just one of the new colour options that Converse have thrown into the mix for its updated collection of timeless sportswear. As with the project’s inaugural release last year, these classic athletic pieces offer supreme comfort right from the get-go, but have actually been designed to improve with time and wear. The 100% cotton fabric will fade gradually over time and develop a beautiful contrast with the high-tensile polyester stitching, and each garment has been pre-washed to minimise shrinking and allow a long life span (a welcome idea in an age of flash-in-the-pan trends).
The collection includes all the staple pieces you’ll need for the foundation of a new spring wardrobe. A selection of crewneck sweatshirts, hoodies, tees, pants, and backpacks come in heavy loopback fleece with 4-needle flatlock stitching for comfort and durability. Joining the range for Spring 2017 are a new style of shorts and a short-sleeve crewneck with cut-off rolled edges. The colour palette includes bright blue, red and teal alongside more classic sportswear colours like olive, black and grey heather, and the apparel is cut for a flattering fit that allows free movement and makes these items perfect for spring layering. Meanwhile the backpacks come in rubber-backed canvas with an inner laptop sleeve and media pouch alongside a water resistant front pocket, finishing off a collection that’s simple but never basic.
