Robert Doyle READ TIME: 1 MIN.
Established in June 2000, ASOS is the UK's largest independent online fashion and beauty retailer, offering over 40,000 branded and own label product lines across womenswear - including dresses, shoes, jewellery, lingerie and beauty - and menswear, including jeans, t-shirts, shoes and shirts.
ASOS launched the third installment of the brand's fashion forward men's collection that concentrates on adventurous pattern cutting, modern silhouettes and unique garment washing techniques.
With a color palette that mixes black with differing shades of grey, khaki and cream, this collection has a dark and menacing aesthetic throughout.
Leather is key and is seen in the shape of grey funnel neck jackets and black crinkled bomber jackets whilst long line shirting and asymmetric scoop neck jersey-wear is twinned with one off hand printed jeans in either black or khaki.
Layering is also evident with oversized grey and black unstructured coats worn over sheer shirting and neutral jersey-wear.
The ASOS Black collection is finished with a selection of leather chukka boots available in grey, white or black.
