Inspired by robust workwear from the 1930s, but with a modern twist – the classic blue jeans by jeans label Lee, founded in Kansas in 1889, remains an important element of the new autumn/winter collection 2012. For the Lee man, the straight leg jeans Daren will remain a classic. Solid denim with a light wash and covered button fly imparts a classic biker look.
Chinos in simple brown and beige tones are combined with jeans shirts with rolled-up sleeves and sporty down gilets. Chunky Norwegian-style knits or cream coloured V-necks worn over classic shirts are ideal for cold autumn days whether in a sporty or more urbane look. Parkas and short coats in olive and navy add a fresh manly note.
The Lee ladies' collection is going rock-chick this year. Tight skirts in leather and jersey, wide-cut shirts and blousons worn under short leather jackets – casual turns to rock and chic. In all the outfits denim turns up in either classic navy or washed out black and grey tones. The Lee stretch deluxe is the perfect cut for feminine curves. As well as skinny, regular, straight, slim boot cut or flare – the jeans tone, stretch, and present the lady in bright red and blue as well as elegantly mottled purple and black for a glammed up look.
