Abercrombie & Fitch made a comeback in recent years with the arrival of new creative heads to its design team… it was necessary and urgent. A&F is one of the most iconic brands in the history of American fashion, with its symbolic 2000s college preppy style that never goes out of style.
Now, Abercrombie & Fitch is back defining itself with much fresher and more modern vibes. The days of giant logos on the chest are over and now brands are betting on minimalist designs, relaxed fits and an aesthetic that screams effortless chic. The new collection created with Indianapolis-based influencer Kathleen Post, one of the most refreshing voices on social media today.
Abercrombie & Fitch X Kathleen Post New Collection
Kathleen Post gives off that girl-next-door vibe, bringing a sophisticated influencer-era upgrade to A&F. She has an incredible eye for mixing basic pieces with statement pieces, giving everyday looks a twist to make them look ultra fashion forward. Casual fittings, simple and non-flamboyant colors, along with the characteristic simple and vintage lines of Abercrombie & Fitch, make these new pieces a good choice for the fall season, when the weather is still quite pleasant and the cold has not completely entered.
There are still changes to wearing a dress, a midi skirt, a sleeveless top with a sweater, because the next two months bring a combination of cold and mild days. Let’s look at three pieces from the Abercrombie & Fitch x Kathleen Post collection that will mark a watershed in the fashion proposals brought by the American brand.
Asymmetrical Draped Maxi Dress by Abercrombie & Fitch
The Asymmetrical Draped Maxi Dress is one of those pieces that elevates any look with its ultra-flattering silhouette. It is made of stretch crepe, and it is a fantastic dress that adapts to the body like a glove, defining the curves in a super chic way without being too tight or uncomfortable. The asymmetrical neckline adds that unexpected and modern touch, perfect for highlighting collarbones and giving it a sophisticated air. The dress cascades from the waist down, creating a fluid fall that touches the floor and elongates the figure without stretching too much in sight.
One of the most on-trend details of this co-creation with Kathleen Post is the twist strap, a strip that subtly twists on the shoulder, creating an elegant visual effect but with a cool touch. The front of the dress has ruching details along the bodice, which gives it texture and enhances the shape of the torso in a very flattering way. This gathering also helps hide small imperfections and adds volume where you need it most. It is for sale in red and black and is priced at $100.
Collared Zip-Up Midi Dress by A&F x Kathleen Post
The Collared Zip-Up Midi Dress is a piece that mixes sophistication with a daring touch. Made in a masculine-inspired fabric, this fitted dress highlights the figure in a very polished way. The classic collar provides a structured and elegant feel, while the front zipper closure that goes up from the bottom gives it a modern and versatile touch. You can decide how revealing or modest you want the neckline to be by adjusting the zipper to your liking.
Gathering details along the bodice create a fitted silhouette that flatters the body’s natural curves, especially in the waist area, giving the illusion of a more defined figure. This detail also adds visual texture and gives the dress a more dynamic character. It falls elegantly and fits at the knee, where it presents a central front opening that adds fun movement and slightly shows the lower part of the legs when walking, with sophistication and panache. The dress fits the body, following the lines and curves without being too tight, maintaining a clean and modern aesthetic. The cotton, nylon, and elastane fabric provides the ideal mix of structure and stretch, allowing the dress to move with the body without losing its shape. It is available in black and green and is priced at $120.
