The collection then moves on to offer more athletic collegiate inspired pieces, look for shawl collars on knitwear and classic baseball style jackets, the theme also informs T prints for men whilst for women’s tops there is a mix of mascot style animal heads and pretty florals. For women there is also delivery of the hotly anticipated women’s jeans fit portfolio which will deliver fits like never before.

The final key mood for the season keeps working the denim top to toe feeling hard but delivers it with a rock n roll edge that is undeniably Levi’s® in spirit!

Play it simple with a white tee, denim pencil skirt and Levi’s® Trucker style jacket for her; a monochrome solid or stripe tee and a pair of skinny black jeans for him.

Levi’s® 201® Jeans: Celebrate more than a century of an unsung classic. Originally launched in the 1800s as an affordable alternative (for miners) to the ‘premium’ Levi’s® 501® jeans, the Levi’s® 201® jeans have been carefully recrafted with today’s wearer in mind, ideal for the denim workwear trend that is gaining momentum, the Levi’s® 201 look is one for all denim aficionados. The original one pocket jean, simple, functional and wholly durable, its industrial workwear heritage remains as strong as it ever was. It’s characteristic features include the ‘donut’ suspender buttons, cinch-back and the linen Levi’s® 201® cloth patch.

Levi’s® Chinos: Levi’s® are taking their cue from its denim trend pieces this season, employing new washes, fits and detailing to present a retro All-American ‘preppy’ style look for its chino pant category for him and her (… she looks good in his chinos too!) A great alternative to denim, Levi’s® chinos are an essential staple wardrobe item.

Timeless Levi’s® Pieces 

Levi’s® 501® Jean: The ultimate straight leg jeans, Levi's® 501® jeans are tailored in what experts call an ‘anti-fit’ pattern. In essence, the rise is cut in a straight line, which makes the jeans wrap around the butt, effortlessly even if, paradoxically, not in a perfect way. Levi's® 501® jeans are shrink-to-fit. This means that they are cut into a pattern and sewn before they are washed to obtain the desired end result. The more you wear them, the better they suit you! Available in 16 new finishes this season, including a new lighter weight denim and the special edition re-issue of the Levi’s® 501® jeans from 1966.

Levi’s® western style check shirts:. As iconic as the Levi’s® 501®, its western check style shirting has been a solid part of the business for more than 100 years, now it has been developed across seasonal trend pieces, including inspirational ‘western’ themed diaphanous tunic tops and blouses for her, and bold exaggerated check patterns in neutral tints and All-American colour hues for him.

Levi’s® Trucker Jacket: Created in the 1880s, and established as the must-have denim jacket by the teenage heartthrobs of the 1950s, including Marlon Brando and James Dean, and the biggest fashion boom in tops to hit a generation is back! If you owned one you were part of the pack, the cool crowd, and if you didn’t, you were out! The style might have changed ever-so slightly refreshed for today’s consumers, but the  ideology certainly hasn’t. A real must-have item for the season, the Levi’s® Trucker Jacket is more than a seasonal trend, but something which will only get better with age. That feeling of what is well worn is still well loved, is a key message from the brand this season.
