The latest collection from b Store was inspired by the film The Graduate, photo reference books of Charles Hix and American sportswear of the 1970s. Designers Matthew Murphy and Kirk Beattie play it safe with this theme and take the opportunity to explore monochromatic ensembles that are highly accessible. Small pointed collars mark the shirting options, while crew necks become a staple, whether worn by themselves or as part of a casual suit. Meanwhile, nylon makes an appearance in outerwear cut from a season appropriate blue. Altogether, Murphy and Beattie may not reinvent the wheel, but they do offer a choice selection of wardrobe fundamentals for the upcoming spring season.
