![]() ![]() ![]() WIP (Work in Progress) was created in 1994, over a century after the original Carhartt, and is the streetwear line of the brand. Carhartt is the workwear pioneer, but doesn’t actually design the products we all know and love: Carhartt WIP takes care of that part. One cannot mention workwear without talking about Carhartt: 130 year old brand, arguably the most emblematic one of the style. Workwear clothing entails everything from denim and flannel over-shirts to vests and double knees, which have been particularly prominent lately: while streetwear brand like Aimé Leon Dore or Stüssy have recently re-introduced carpenters in their collection, more premium labels such as Off-White have released their first take on the classic silhouette this year. Carpenter pants for example tend to be quite large, as workers wearing them need room for comfort while moving. It is however particularly popular now, mostly thanks to the comeback of wider pants: people are substituting their slim jeans and trousers for straight and even baggy looks. You can’t go wrong with a pair of 874s Dickies or a Carhartt Detroit Jacket, but why? Mainly because workwear, as opposed to many other styles, was never designed for a specific era, allowing it to remain relevant and transcend trends. ![]()
