Universal Works Autumn/Winter 2014

Posted on by bythelevel

 

Providing a unique and refreshing approach to menswear styling, Universal Works return with their Autumn/Winter collection that references 50’s suiting and draws influence from military detailing and classic workwear.

The UK brand have prided themselves on producing small quantities and focused on the style and superior fits of their garments. This season they continue this ethos in a diverse collection that features a mixture of classic and contemporary fabrics across a range of smart menswear and more casual, workwear pieces. From Harris Tweed and Yorkshire Lambswool to Japanese denims, the broad choice of materials create the base, whilst Norfolks winter coastline acts as inspiration for the collections colour palette.

A slightly more mature look than we usually feature on the site, however we are huge fans of the brands approach to design and the care that goes into every piece. The mix of the traditional and the modern offers something different to the norm and its stylish yet understated clothing is the perfect solution to a smarter street ready look.

The Universal Works Autumn/Winter 2014 collection is available now at www.universalworks.co.uk

You can always rely on Brixton to deliver a solid collection, incorporating clean design, quality fit and interesting prints throughout. Their consistency is the reason why Brixton is one of our favourite street wear/lifestyle brands here at bythelevel.

Their collection for Summer 2014 offers a diverse range of seasonal staples using prints and graphic logo designs alongside cut and sew items. The latest release includes a range of button up short sleeve shirts, tees, long sleeves, shorts, vests and shorts, as well as a strong headwear selection.

We headed to a spot in Uckfield, just outside Brighton for a day of exploring, BBQ’s and shooting Brixton with some of our closest friends. The natural landscape provided the perfect backdrop to shoot the new collection.
