Styling Our Pieces for Everyone

Styling Our Pieces for Everyone

Hey, all, Leah here. I wear a lot of pieces from the shop not just because I enjoy their design, but also because I enjoy the creativity that comes from having a broader range of garments and design details to choose from. I also believe that when we choose our outfits we shouldn't be hemmed in (no pun intended) by who garments are designed for. For instance, I appreciate the classic silhouettes, natural fibers, and historic references you find in menswear but that are often absent from women's wear. Above all, the most important things are staying true to your style, having things fit the way you want them to (not just the way they're "supposed to"), and embracing the vibe you're going for. To celebrate this idea, we invited our good friend Victoria, an Amsterdam-based blogger and creative, to show off just how well so many pieces from the shop work on everyone.

Introducing Engineered Garments x Paraboot

Introducing Engineered Garments x Paraboot

For this FW23 season, Daiki Suzuki and Paraboot continue the story. Based on the Galibier outdoor brand's classic Avoriaz mountain boots, Daiki Suzuki has imagined a shoe with six D-rings, three on each side, staggered so that the laces form a complex but intentional design. Together with the Norwegian zigzag welt and lug sole, which are part of Paraboot's DNA, this design combines a sophisticated look that goes beyond casual wear and can work with dressier outfits.

Introducing Venturon SS23

Introducing Venturon SS23

The inspiration for Venturon's spring-summer 2023 collection is the aesthetics of movement. You'll see this theme come through in lightweight fabrics that are functional and lightly technical, but still look sharp.

Introducing Battenwear

Introducing Battenwear

We're super pumped to introduce our first American brand to Tempest Works. Welcome to the shop, Battenwear! Battenwear's aesthetic takes cues from 1960s to 1980s surfer and outdoor wear styles. The brand's designer, Shinya Hasegawa, is inspired by that era's constant waves of change and forward movement.
