Effortless Style with American Colors by Alex Lehr Spring/ Summer 2013

We know a good thing when we see one. Started in 1997,

American Colors by Alex Lehr

produces made in the USA recycled knit and organic woven garments which have amazing texture and quality. It's no surprise that the Japanese, who also have an eye for fashion and American made goods also love these clothes.

The American Colors Spring/ Summer 2013 collection features some lightweight button-ups perfect for hanging out and sweaters for those breezy nights by the beach. The collection's tones and patterns are not overbearing and the cuts of the garments make them super easy to wear and pair with your favorite jeans and shoes.  Our favorite items were sweatshirts with shirt collars, cuffs built in, making it looked perfectly layered without all the hassle.  Take a look at the collection below, if you're in the NYC area you can shop the collection at
