REISS has always occupied a particular space in menswear: too considered for basic, too functional for pure fashion theater. This edit leans into that sensibility completely. These pieces form a wardrobe for someone who has moved beyond the either-or of athleisure versus tailoring.

The Quilted Jacket

There’s a difference between armoring yourself and simply staying warm, and REISS’ quilted jacket understands the distinction. The hybrid construction of interlock jersey and quilted panels refuses the bulky surrender most puffer jackets demand.

Instead, it moves with you rather than against you. It’s a layer that works equally well over a white tee or beneath tailoring, which is exactly the type of dual presence that separates a closet essential from a one-note purchase.

The Bomber Cardigan

Merino wool has a reputation for softness, but what matters here is the invisible work: temperature regulation, a zip that suggests utility without requiring a pocket, and a color that sits comfortably between neutrality and personality.

The bomber silhouette tilts it toward movement; think more skate than country club, which is where cardigans go to grow up. This is the piece you reach for when layering needs to feel spontaneous.

Heavyweight Joggers

The heavyweight construction matters because it keeps these joggers from collapsing into loungewear territory; instead, they hold their shape like they have somewhere to be. Here, grey melange appears thoughtful, and the cotton blend sits somewhere between the too-rigid and the too-soft, which is precisely where comfort becomes credible.

Pair them with the zip sweatshirt below and you’ve got a strong silhouette that suggests you’ve moved beyond the “athleisure or nothing” binary.

The Zip Sweatshirt

A quarter-zip may seem like a small gesture, but it’s the difference between a piece you tolerate and the one you actually reach for. It offers flexibility without requiring you to commit fully to the overhead pull.

The heavyweight cotton blend offers solid structure, and the matching grey melange with joggers creates a tonal coordination that feels effortless.

The Jersey Hoodie

There’s a formula here: premium interlock jersey refuses the sweatshop-thin textile that makes hoodies feel temporary, and the mint green keeps it from disappearing into a closet full of greys and blacks.

Paired with tailored joggers in the same shade, you’ve got a monochromatic moment that suggests less “couldn’t decide what to wear” and more “this is the outfit.”

Tailored Joggers

These joggers prove that color doesn’t have to be bold and in your face to register; the mint green sits at that perfect intersection where it’s distinctive without being demanding, sophisticated without being precious.

The stretch-jersey construction keeps them tailored rather than slouchy. This is the piece that turns neutrals into something actually worth documenting.
