Three great new men’s looks in cotton

Cotton USA has licensed Lee Cooper, Manchester and Surftex to use cotton in their clothing, particularly clothes for men, adding softness and comfort. The three brands presented a “Work & Play” fashion show at CentralWorld recently, with actors Pakorn “Boy” Chatborirak, Pachara “Peach” Chirathivat and Sunny Suwanmethanon among the models.

Cotton is considered “friendly” to wearers of all genders and ages and suits any style of clothing, from elegant gentlemen’s apparel to street fashion and even denims. The 100-percent cotton from the United States makes all styles of clothing suitable for every occasion.

The runway show in Bangkok featured a slew of nice fashion combinations, with items from all three brands ready to mix and match. “They go perfectly with one another for both work and weekends,” said Kraipob Pangsapa, Cotton USA’s representative in Southeast Asia.

British denim brand Lee Cooper’s new collection has a “Release Your Rebel” theme inspired by the East End of London.

                “Lee Cooper pieces are designed for men and women of college age who enjoy fashion, seek out fun, are fascinated by music and art and dare to be different,” said Pipit Pongpipattnakul, general manager of Central Marketing Group’s Denim Group, representing Lee Cooper.

“This collection was inspired by ’50s rock fashion. It’s simple and versatile. The pieces look fine for so many different types of functions, so they’re great for both work and leisure days. Among the highlights are Harry jeans for men, Pearl jeans for women, denim shirts and printed Tshirts.”

Manchester, with its “Oasis of Calm” inspiration, caters to men over 35 – working people with a simple lifestyle but a preference for elegant, neat apparel.

“Our key items include slimfit slacks, longsleeved shirts, polo shirts, trousers and shorts,” said Tatthape Leelahakriengkrai, marketing director of MCT International, representing Manchester. “Our clothes are perfect day or night, worn to work and also hanging out in the evening.”

Ideal for surfers and anyone who loves urban streetwear is Australian brand Surftex. The clothes are designed for teenagers to young adults and men who like modern and casual clothes.

“Based on the digital lifestyle of modern people, our collection today is inspired by the beauty of ‘Digital Error’ with its use of graphic lines, dots and colourblock patterns,” said Laddawan Panyathorn from Surftex.

“Our key items feature striped and blockpattern shirts, printed Tshirts, cotton pants and shorts. They’re easy solutions for men who love casual wear that’s also smart enough for work.”
