MANILA, Philippines - Where American Eagle dares… To be different, that is.
The brand’s latest collection emphasizes the importance of individual style, supported by a new marketing campaign filled with real people. The collection focuses on the core of the brand, denim. Its heritage fits and washes are accented by detailed tops, cool layers and stylish accessories.
For the American Eagle Outfitters (AEO) girl, there is an assortment of trends to play off of denim. The Old School Cool trend shows off vintage inspiration in statement jackets, the Girlfriend Shirt, stripes, and one of the season’s favorite pieces, the varsity jacket. The Boho trend carries through this season with feminine details like lace hems, blouses, skirts and dresses as well as paisley prints in tops. Maxi dresses in warm fall colors play back to the boho feel and pair nicely with a denim jacket.
Glam Grunge rounds out the season with vintage washes, distressed details and some military and moto-inspired pieces in bottoms and outerwear. Denim is key, grounding the collection with classic indigos and blues as well as fashion styles with embellishments, tinting, destroyed details and vintage washes. The new Kick Boot denim fit offers a slim boot style. Accessories complete the collection with metallic boots, embellished bags, slouchy hats and cool jewelry.
For the AEO guy, the varsity-cool feel comes to life with new Oxford shirts, chinos in warm khakis and autumn colors, as well as stripe tees, and V-neck sweaters. Vintage Surplus is another big theme, seen especially through layering in outerwear with surplus details and rugged hints in shirts and pants. Denim is crucial, rooting the heritage feel of the entire collection with dark washes, destroyed and vintage details and slim fits. Accessories feature key pieces like slouchy beanies, baseball hats, sneakers and sunglasses that complete the look.
