Here Are Our Favorite Bits From Palace SS20, Reviewed Palace-Style
After giving us a taste of its Spring/Summer 2020 collection with a Lewis Khan-lensed lookbook last Friday, Palace now presents the comprehensive collection in full.
All the (by now expected) Palace hallmarks are accounted for in rave-referencing loungey streetwear and irreverent accessories, buttressed by summer staples like shorts and bucket hats. There's also a collaboration with ArkAir, the civilian-wing of Arktis. If you didn't know, the latter is a specialist British brand providing military uniforms for some of the hardest bastards in Europe, namely the French Foreign Legion and the Royal Marines.
As always, there are, like, close to 500 bits all in (my shitty MacBook froze upon attempting to open the initial folder). Rather than present each look individually, we dug deep and flagged up our favorites. See them below, presented Lev-style, and head over to the label's website for the full list.
Jackets
ArkAir Camo Jacket
ARC'TYREX'S BADDER AND MORE BRITISH BROTHER.

String Polo Shirt
PERFECT TO WEAR WHILE DRINKING CANS OF RED STRIPE IN STOKE NEWINGTON.
