After making a splash with their limited-edition Tudor watch collaboration, the New York-based favorite, Rowing Blazers, now presents a vibrant, retro-chic Summer '23 collection, showcased through an inspiring lookbook.

With Jack Carlson at the design helm, the collection shatters gender boundaries and celebrates an ecstatic fusion of color, pattern, and texture inspired by the quintessential American summer. One can't help but notice the playful blend of paint-splattered deadstock fabric alongside Indian madras and seersucker, the captivating punch of '80s neons, and the creative charm of small-batch tie-dye pieces.

Subtle undertones of east-coast nostalgia echo through the collection, with faded and garment-washed cotton cable-knit sweaters and simple-weave shorts lending an air of weathered sophistication. Drawing inspiration from the vintage allure of island style - from O'ahu to Nantucket, the entire collection embodies a fashionable journey through time and space.

 
 
 

Further eye-catching pieces that command attention include a beautifully crafted anorak from Indian madras. Men and women alike can don double-breasted navy blazers featuring Latin cris-de-guerre meticulously cross-stitched under the lapels.

Bringing a nostalgic 90s vibe to the forefront, an all-over “golf tees” print is cleverly incorporated into intarsia and polo knits. The collection also indulges in comfort without compromising style with luxurious terry-toweling sets. Adding a touch of whimsy, there are playful critter-embroidered trousers and accessories.

A standout "neon noir" cap and hoodie, a sartorial nod to the brand's recent timepiece collaboration with Tudor, reaffirms Rowing Blazers' commitment to unifying thematic elements in their collections. Each piece truly encapsulates the charm and diversity of this unique summer line.

 
 
 
 

The lookbook tantalizingly hints at future alliances that fashion aficionados can look forward to. These exciting collaborations encompass an eclectic mix: from the legendary Grateful Dead to '47 and Major League Baseball, from the precision timepiece makers Seiko to the classic boat shoes brand Sperry. Also in the mix is the beloved retro Hawaiian surf brand, Jams World. These prospective partnerships promise to inject more originality and dynamic flair into Rowing Blazers' style narrative.
