Recalling his time spent on the west coast during the late 1980s, Alabama-based designer Billy Reid marries his southern roots with the relaxed influence of a beachside attitude for his spring/summer 2014 collection. Mastering the formula of creating core separates that men desire for the ultimate wardrobe, Reid elevates his brand with a strong theme that takes his designs from timeless essentials to inspirational pieces. Here boxy loose trousers are paired with colorful linen jackets, striped knitwear and dress shirts with rounded hems. Bringing in standout garments such as a cropped leather jacket or camouflage-dressed poncho, Billy Reid demonstrates a masterful hand with a strong spring/summer showing.
