With many of us facing the prospect of our first summers abroad in years, what better time for the people at KLEKT to put together a list of essential pieces for your SS22 suitcase, made up of bestsellers and our own personal picks.
Yeezy x Gap Hoodies
There’s nothing better than a hoodie for when that refreshing summer breeze hits, this collab between Yeezy and Gap features American made cotton builds in block colours.
CK1 x Palace Relaxed Trucker Jacket
From the latest collab from CK1 and Palace comes a timeless lightweight denim piece coming in stonewash indigo that’s versatile enough to go over anything.
Supreme x Burberry Box Logo Hoodies
These Supreme hoodies are iconic branded pieces that make for great layering all year round. For this season we’d recommend lighter tones like grey or pink from the SS22 Burberry collab.
Supreme x Burberry Pink Check Trucker
For a more distinct approach to the Trucker, this jacket sports Burberry’s signature check pattern in a light pink tone that’s perfect for summer.
CK1 x Palace Tri-Ferg Hoodies
Our last bit of layering comes from the Calvin Klein Palace collab, in light hues of wheat and grey marl, perfect for the warmer months.
Supreme x Burberry jeans
Lastly from Supreme and Burberry is a limited number of jeans, coming in a regular light blue denim as well as classic Burberry check patterns of vintage brown or light pink, perfect no matter if you want to match your jeans with other pieces from the collab, or have them stand out.
Sneakers
Nike WMNS Dunk Low Coast UCLA (2021)
Always a favourite, the Dunk’s simple colours and comfort make it an easy pick to pack, like the Coast UCLA colourway with warm, sky blue panels.
Air Jordan Nike AJ 4 IV Retro Military Blue (2012)
While it’s hard to narrow Jordans down to a few essentials, a clean white pair of 4s will never go amiss, like this Military Blue pair from 2012 or this year’s black counterpart.
New Balance 2002R Black Fig (2022)
If you’re looking for a lightweight runner for the summer look no further, the 2002R Black Fig features soft premium suede uppers in a uniform, washed-out purple, with panels of breathable mesh keeping things cool, and the ABZORB and N-ergy sole softening any terrain.
New Balance 550 Cream Black (2022)
This clean, retro 550 features accents of black cutting through across its cream white leather upper, and the distinct, chunky sole.
Crocs Pollex Clog x Salehe Bembury Urchin (2022)
Salahe Bembury’s elevated take on the Croc Clog is ready to help you cut an eye-catching look on the beach, with the Urchin colourway coming in a uniform light purple.
Air Jordan 4 WMNS Shimmer (2021)
Catch some rays with these AJ4s, featuring a luxe peach tan upper with a unique shimmering reflective material used on the toe box, all tied together with translucent materials on the TPU portions and outsole.
Yeezy Side Pure
The Yeezy Slide Pure might be the most relaxed essential on our list, with a sleek profile, clean colourway, and a comfy EVA midsole for those slow siesta days.
Air Force 1 Low White
Clean and simple, with its classic triple white colourway and durable, cushioned Air midsole, the Air Force 1 will never not be seen as essential.
