To cater to the everyday needs of modern-day wearers seeking comfort and versatility, denim brands are delving into the realm of performance fabrics.
Prominent Los Angeles-based denim brand AG recently unveiled its activewear capsule collection for men. Incorporating premium stay-dry performance jersey and lightweight polyester fabrics, the collection ensures wearers stay cool and comfortable while on the move.
AG's focus on a commuter fit underscores the collection's versatility, seamlessly transitioning from work to weekend wear. The bottoms in this collection, including the Mckenzie Active Performance Short, the Spring Active Performance Jogger, and the Tellis Active Performance pant, are designed with an elastic interior waistband and crafted from quick-drying, water-resistant bi-stretch ‘lightweight endurance woven fabric,; effectively combating wrinkling.
The collection also features a sage green swim trunk and a black bomber jacket, both constructed from the same performance fabric. In terms of tops, AG offers the Ace Active Performance Polo and the Marathon Active Performance Crew, utilising a cotton-blend fabric with moisture-transport construction for enhanced comfort and dryness. Notably, AG ensures that the moisture-wicking properties remain effective throughout the lifespan of the crew T-shirt.
Meanwhile, Levi's, a prominent denim giant, has launched its own performance product, the 511 Slim Tech men's pant, as part of its newly established Levi's Tech program. This pant, based on one of Levi's popular denim fits, boasts tech stretch warp knit fabric crafted from recycled polyester, offering a four-way stretch, moisture-wicking capabilities, and UPF 50+ sun protection. Additionally, it features a secure zip back pocket for convenient storage of essentials.
Levi's sister brand, Dockers is also joining the tech pant trend with its Dockers Go Collection that focuses on providing flexible, moisture-wicking features for high-movement days. Utilising Coolmax Ecomade technology, made from recycled materials, Dockers Go products ensure wearers stay cool and dry throughout their daily activities.
