Autumn With Patagonia

Ringing In Autumn With Patagonia

We’re very sad to say so but t-shirt weather will soon slip away, and although this changing of seasons always feels a little grim, it’s much easier to embrace cool breezes when you’ve got Patagonia knocking up fire autumnal fits for fun. However, if the jury in your head is still out on the matter, let us convince you with a series of shots from our latest Patagonia editorial.

We Mackems are very lucky to live by the beach and with access to sandy shores that stretch for miles and miles what better location is there to head to for an Aphrodite photoshoot? The eroded clifftops and grassy vistas of tourist spot, The Souter Lighthouse, made for quite the backdrop on this occasion. With a fitting location boxed off, there was the small matter of three Patagonia looks to nail, and not to sound conceited but this we did.
Fleece ran rife in the lineup chosen by our stylist, but we wouldn’t expect anything less when working with a brand like Patagonia, the two are a match made in heaven. First into the spotlight was a patchwork half zip, formally named the Patagonia Synchilla Anorak and with dominant colours of brown and teal running throughout. This was married with the Patagonia Insulated Quandary Jacket in a complementary shade of mulch brown, the Brodeo Beanie and finally the Arbor Lid Pack (28L iteration). What I take from this outfit, and I’m sure what the wearer would take from this look is function first and foremost. The outfit feels primed for whatever the weather could throw your way with waterproof properties, fuzzy fleece, and wool in the mix, it covers all bases.

We chose to layer down for the second look in the hopes that the good old British weather might suffice, opting for the Patagonia Retro Pile Fleece in smolder blue which was simply paired with a staple short-sleeved tee, while on the bottom, the Patagonia GI Trousers offered an outdoorsy touch thanks to their cotton twill shell, buckle belt and range of pocket space. The overriding feeling when it comes to this fit is its ability to do both, you could sport this ensemble in the city streets and then wander off-trail for a hike if you fancied it. No one would bat an eyelid.

The third and final look from the lineup gears up for the city, harmonising equal amounts of form and function to satisfy the wearer’s style while making sure they’re shielded from the elements too. At the core of the outfit is the Patagonia Hi-Loft Down Jacket, guaranteed to promote warmth and add bulk to your outfit while underneath a classic flannel shirt brings a dose of longevity. The Aeon Trainers from Axel Arigato have been placed on foot to keep it contemporary, bringing both comfort and class.

And if all the above weren’t enough, you can bet big on the fact that most of the garments featured are eco-friendly in true Patagonia style. Whether they’re made from recycled fishing nets or post-consumer plastic, start browsing all of these styles with a clear conscience.
