AIME LEON DORE

Aimé Leon Dore is f**ucking up this fall/winter season with its grandpa-core aesthetic. Their latest drop from the collection, "The World’s Borough," features versatile pieces that seamlessly transition from urban ease to elevated prep while paying homage to New York City’s growing eclectic communities.

One notable aspect of the collection is their embrace of the "grandpa-core" trend. This trend, characterized by a mix of vintage-inspired and contemporary pieces, reflects a nostalgic yet modern style. ALD is at the forefront of this trend, blending basketball and street athletic with a prep aesthetics to create a unique and refined style that has been witness since the brands third collection dubbed “0214” for fall/winter 2014.

In addition to their signature uniform pieces, ALD also reintroducing their collaboration with Porsche in the form of jackets, pants and hats. The collection features a range of standout pieces rooted in earth tones, including a Vanson pony hair leather jacket in brown with a bones skeletal ribcage printed at the center. The brand's commitment to detail and craftsmanship is evident throughout the collection, which effortlessly merges classic menswear with modern streetwear sensibilities.

One of our must-purchase items from the collection is the ALD x GORE-TEX shell jacket. The jacket features GORE-TEX three-layer shell material with tonal embroidered co-branding GORE-TEX and ALD logos – in addition to GORE-TEX durability and waterproof/windproof ability, the jacket comes in only two colorways, Gleam (light green) and Jet Black. Priced at $595 USD, it is worth mentioning that compared to the Arc'teryx Beta Jacket, priced at $400 USD, the ALD x GORE-TEX shell jacket might be a bit overpriced for some buyers. With a focus on performance and style, ALD's FW24 collection offers a range of knits, pants, driving gloves, motocross-inspired tracksuits, and jackets – also within the collection are basic leisure tops with matching pants and two floor-length trench coats. The collection also includes headwear, such as a GORE-TEX hat that complements the outerwear perfectly.
