Winter is not just a season, it’s a feeling, an atmosphere, a backdrop to our daily lives. This unique wintery energy, this blend of a burst of ice and human warmth is reflected in our lifestyle, in our choice of clothing and in the way we interact with the world around us.
In such frantic times, the distinction between the urban environment and wild nature has been fading ever more greatly. We are no longer simply city dwellers but lovers of nature. We’re a combination of both, in a mix that defines our desire to be ourselves, whatever the place or climate.
From bright city lights to wide icy stretches, every moment becomes an opportunity to celebrate our uniqueness. It’s an invitation to embrace winter in all its splendour, to find comfort in contrasts, to lose oneself and find oneself in the most striking ways.
Whether you feel you are a nature lover, an urbanite at heart or a bit of both, this season, be yourself, all the time, everywhere. And let winter, with its intoxicating blend of cold and heat, technology and tradition, be your guide. After all, winter is not just a season, it’s a statement of style, an attitude, a celebration of all that makes us so unique.
The mate concerned by this Seasonal Influence is the Initial mate, which is the Decathlon personality that addresses the Community of pragmatic and all-rounder athletes for whom sport is more than just a practise; it’s a culture, a daily anchor point, through a sportswear & lifestyle experience.
Their main motivations in practising a sport are: LEISURE, FAIR PLAY. It’s all about pure pleasure while practising without stakes involved and without any pressure, embracing the traditions and fundamentals in the realm of sports and making use of their heritage to create a real cocoon in terms of comfort and freedom, particularly with respect to others as well as their views.
The products are made to accompany everyone in their daily lives. Their design is up-to-date and they follow the daily trends.
“Enjoy life ». It’s with this mantra and such curiosity on a daily basis that the Initial mate will pursue the story, beginning the last season, Outdoor Redesigned.
Outdoor Redesigned colours embody a subtle harmony between nature, softness and urban elegance.
The combination of shades of green, beige and ochre brings comforting authenticity in an outdoor spirit.
Refined neutrals evoke sophisticated simplicity, while lifewear harmony suggests a mix of soft, multipurpose urban tints for one’s daily life.The lightness of misty and airy tones creates an appeasing atmosphere and adds a touch of freshness and purity to it all. This palette is an invitation to elegance, with its natural, soothing and subtle tints, hence bringing a new style to our wardrobe.
Geometric classics such as windowframe plaids, diamonds and houndstooth are ever so subtly displayed in a graphic animation that bolsters me in a minimalist and elegant style.
In its hybrid style, with no hassle, our athlete is skilful, all attire adapting to his or her routine. We are seeking components such as premium jeans, harmonious indigo-tinted flecked fabrics or regular slub yarn for a current denim effect. Nubuck leather with a velvety touch present in a yoke on one piece as a main component, on an accessory, adds a touch of elegance to one’s outfit. In Outdoor Redesigned, components and accessories are minimalist and trendy. Discreet checks take shape on lightweight water-repellent ripstops, and become elegant, and then transform into cool and soft padded elegance on down jackets worn daily
Therefore filled with wadding or threads, they take on the shape of differently scaled checks via ultrasound sewing or a woven jacquard technique or knit. The naturally flecked effects, ever so discreet and satiny, can be found on our products and accessories in recycled plastic, for a spontaneous sprinkled effect.
Flowing and soft, this natural 50% organic cotton 50% linen blend, is ideal for those in search of a sensation of comfort and style for their shirts or pants. Its premium denim look stems from its finely twisted threads, giving it a delicate flecked aspect.
This nubuck leather offers a soft and velvety touch. Its matte and warm appearance makes it ideal for an elegant pair of gloves in an urban and outdoor style.
A piece-dyed fabric, this padding filled with expanding weft threads shows a slightly dry, yet soft, touch, giving it a resolutely modern appearance. Owing to its ideal check pattern, we can easily see it in a trendy and urban down jacket for everyday wear.
