It's that time of year again when the delightful garms you'll be wearing this spring and summer begin to drop. It's Carhartt's turn to reveal its seasonal wares, unveiling multiple new lines, including the Icons collection and the New Arrivals.
Icons is very much what it says on the tin, reimagining classic Carhartt designs that have become a staple in anyone's wardrobe. This line is ideal for anyone who enjoys flirting with a bit of workwear, sticking to the root of what popularised the brand in the first place.
However, the collection also has more vibrant and daring pieces, with some patterns splashed across a few items and a welcome selection of accessories. You can check out plenty of fresh bits in the links above, but we've also highlighted a few of our favourite items below from the core range that will help strengthen any man's wardrobe.
1. S/S Pocket Heart T-Shirt
If you're on the market for a hardy tote to carry around your bits and bobs, then the Drewe will likely fulfil those needs while being more secure than your average bag of this style. Referring to the bag as a tote feels a touch reductive, as a lot is going on with a strong strap attached to metal clasps and a cheeky pocket on the inside for some extra storage. However, at £90, this bag is undoubtedly on the spenny side.

2) L/S Chase T-Shirt
Longsleeve T-shirts with a Carhartt logo go together like cookies and cream; whenever the colours are updated, it's worth having a gander. Of all the currently available options, the Air Pink with a small gold logo feels like the biggest standout, especially on those spring evenings when the sun sticks around longer, lightly illuminating IPAs in the garden.

3) S/S Furoshiki Shirt
An intricate — yet subtle — design decorates this short-sleeved shirt, boasting a revere collar and slightly oversized fit. The shirt continues to hit home the tiny hearts found across many of Carhartt's spring/summer collection pieces, as it's woven into the pattern alongside polka dots. The shirt is available in Black, Blue and Henna, with the Henna being our choice.

7. Windbreaker Pullover
A good, water-resistant pullover is a convenient item for any man's wardrobe, especially in the UK, when it can be blue skies and sunshine one minute before torrential rain the next. What helps this windbreaker stand out is the neutral camo Carhartt has opted for; with camo often being a bit hit and miss, this is one of the examples where it lands and thanks to the colours chosen, it's easy to incorporate into most looks.
