NEW MENSWEAR BY ROCAWEAR 2011

Fall 2011 Menswear Preview: Rocawear and Artful Dodger

Previewing Rocawear and Artful Dodger’s Fall 2011 menswear collections:

Rocawear Mens Fall 2011 Collection

If you’re not familiar with Artful Dodger, they’re the more punk inspired arm of Rocawear clothing. With the motto, “Kick a$$ and die young,” the line is for the rebellious type whose wardrobe consists mainly of slightly controversial t-shirts, dirty wash jackets, and double faced western shirts.

For Fall 2011, Artful Dodger men can look forward to tie-dye jeans, two toned camouflage pieces, funky t-shirts, and studded leather biker jackets.


Also on tap: fedora style hats, cross body bags, and easy sneakers and boots.

And over at Rocawear…

It seems Mr. Carter is going for a more preppy vibe with pants with better fits, striped cardigans, and even colored denim. Gone are the ostentatious logos adorning each breast pocket or jeans leg. The former logo has actually changed completely–instead of the Rocawear flame, each piece is marked with a silver plaque reading ‘R+’ for Rocawear, plus.

The clothes definitely have a more grown up, classic feel. It seems the brand is tapering its baggier options to appeal to a larger demographic.

It works!
