The collection offers the mid-rise 95 Mid Baggy and the 99 Low Baggy, a low-rise jean with a relaxed leg. A matching vest is also available. “I’ve always gravitated towards baggier silhouettes and so when I was approached to be the face and creative behind ABrand’s Baggy collection launch, it was a perfect fit,” Gassmann said in a release.

Thrills

Australian brand Thrills released its spring collection called Spectral Garden. Focused on “relaxed luxury,” the line offers jeans, tops, dresses and oversized fits in an earthy palette and jewel tones.

The women’s range channels the ’90s with slouch carpenter pants, low-rise baggy jeans and the Clarity, a relaxed fit pant with no pockets made with 55 percent hemp and 45 percent recycled nylong canvas. The Ronnie pant, made with organic cotton denim, is based on Japanese workwear and has an exaggerated leg and roomy fit.

Zip-up workwear jackets, slouchy carpenter shorts, graphic baby tees and oversized crews round out the skate-inspired women’s range.

Graphic tees, check long-sleeve shirts and seersucker short-sleeve shirts make up the men’s collection. Bottoms span elastic waist volley shorts to 90s-inspired baggy fit organic cotton jeans. Thrills is also leaning heavily into the jorts trend, offering its relaxed fit carpenter jean shorts in eight washes.    The collection is available on Thrills’ website.
