Belstaff unified this season’s collection seeing Menswear and Womenswear side by side. Inspired by the adventures of Paris to Dakar rally riders, this collection has a unique use of modern performance fabrics with retro sports graphics, prints finished with bonded seams and waterproof zips, whilst reflecting the extreme conditions faced by the riders. This lightweight collection is wearable in all climates, with technical designs showing a strong 70s and 80s influence and merges together with a modern technical finish. 

A comforting colour pallet displays rich, warm and earthy tones reflecting the North African landscape. This is complemented with sage green, ash rose and chambray pastels going hand in hand with an elaborate Prince of Wales check in nylon. Alongside this, the collection uses washed out leather jackets, stressed denim patch work and tailored Chinos.
