Mr. Hare enters ready-to-wear market

Mr. Hare, the London footwear label founded by Marc Hare, will no longer just be known for their shoes. The brand will now be entering the ready-to-wear market starting in spring 2016. They will show their first ready-to-wear collection at London Collections: Men this June.

Mr. Hare follows a very simple formula for its shoes, by dividing everything into the categories of either evening, day, or sneakers. They are expected to take a similar approach to their ready-to-wear as well. The must have item from this upcoming collection seems to be the pants.

Hare created a silhouette that will be suitable to wear with each type of shoe, with the collection of pants including everything from formal high-waisted trousers to casual jeans. Aside from the pants, some of the other offerings in the collection include jersey tops, shirts in Italian poplin, and draped coats. While the collection includes everything from formal to casual, Hare has assured us that in general all the pieces are very comfortable.

“There’s no harsh boxiness — it’s soft and flowing,” Hare was quoted saying to WWD, noting that he has also worked African influences into the lineup, with suiting in looser silhouettes to evoke ceremonial dress. It might be a British brand, but, he is sure to keep his influences and inspiration international. In addition to showing at London Collections: Men, Hare will also show the collection at a Paris showroom during the men's collection there.

Prices for the collection range from 90 dollars for a t-shirt to 750 dollars for a coat. In addition to his boutiques in London, his collections are available stateside at department stores, such as Bloomingdale's, and e-tailers like Mr. Porter. Buyers better start stocking up, because Mr. Hare seems to be the hottest new thing in London men's wear right now.
