The new look from The North Face Purple Label.

Even the same outfit can take on a completely different style depending on who’s wearing it and the city they’re walking through. That’s what makes fashion so fascinating. The PLAS series from THE NORTH FACE PURPLE LABEL expands those possibilities even further. This layering system, which connects outerwear and inner layers to adapt to the environment, creates a new look that embodies the individuality of urban life.

A field cardigan that serves as a liner for the PLAS series. Despite its classic, cozy look, it offers a lightweight feel thanks to a hybrid fleece that combines the warmth of natural wool (in the pile) with the lightness of synthetic polyester. Featuring two practical front waist pockets, it serves as a reliable main outer layer for strolling around town in early fall.

The PLAS series, named after the initials of the Purple Layer Access System. By zipping the outer layer and inner layer together, this system not only enhances warmth but also allows you to freely mix and match fabrics and colors. In this look, the down cardigan—which would normally be worn as an inner layer—is deliberately layered on the outside. Even such an unconventional style comes together naturally with the PLAS series.

One of the outerwear pieces in the PLAS series, this field jacket is made from recycled nylon twill. Based on The North Face’s “Gotham Jacket”—a favorite in the harsh winters of New York—this piece has been updated to suit the modern era. The rounded silhouette created by the shorter length and oversized fit gives it the look of a flight jacket designed specifically for urban life.

This field coat features a half-coat length while retaining the iconic pocket design of The North Face’s classic “Mountain Jacket.” The high-density recycled nylon twill is durable enough to let you head out without an umbrella in light rain. If the rain picks up, simply pull up the hood stored at the neck. If it snows, simply attach a cardigan to the lining.
