Styles · An idea under Streetwear
Euro streetwear
Terrace culture, track tops under tailored overcoats, retro low profile trainers and zip knits.
Euro streetwear pairs sportswear with tailoring: track jackets and low profile trainers worn with overshirts and wool coats. Structured cuts meet relaxed shapes in black, white and green, in leather, suede, cotton and wool.
The look goes back to the casuals, a British football scene of the late seventies, led by Liverpool fans who picked up European fashions while following their teams to matches in Europe. Casuals wore labels such as Lacoste, Sergio Tacchini and Fila, with Adidas trainers. Wales Bonner, the London label Grace Wales Bonner started in twenty fourteen, mixes sportswear with tailoring and has made trainers with Adidas since twenty twenty. A.P.C., founded in Paris by Jean Touitou in nineteen eighty seven, is known for clean lines and raw Japanese denim.

Due West in Toronto brings overshirts from A.P.C. and Les Deux, track jackets from Les Deux and Drôle de Monsieur, and Veja trainers. WDLT117 in Toronto brings Wales Bonner trainers made with Adidas.
