This Week's Best Streetwear Drops: From RIOT HILL to PLEASURES

Check out our favorite streetwear drops of the week, hand-picked by our editors.


RIOT HILL “FORZA!”

RIOT HILL has released a 16-piece ready-to-wear collection titled “FORZA!” as an homage to soccer fans everywhere. Surrounded by RIOT HILL graphics, soccer iconography, specifically that of Inter Milan, can be found spread across jerseys and track pants, while hoodies and t-shirts stick to RIOT HILL’s usual motifs and lettering. Known for its darker color palettes, RIOT HILL has adopted a touch of brightness with this collection, such as bright blue and pink shirts or neon green RIOT HILL text. Elsewhere, the label sticks to its classic black and grey color palettes, as seen in zip-up hoodies, crewnecks, sweatpants, and graphic tees. Everything has an oversized and lived-in feel within the brand's usual parameters. Check out the collection on RIOT HILL’s website.


UNION Holiday 2023

Back in the land of Southern California, UNION has released its Holiday 2023 collection. This collection gives a sense of inner and outer comfort while becoming in touch with nature, according to founder Chris Gibbs. Naturalistic elements come through in earthy tones of brown, green, and blue, while literal aspects of outdoor-style clothes can be found in various jackets and cargo pants. Sweaters add a cozy feel, featuring a mix of patterns reminiscent of the holiday season, and it wouldn’t be a winter collection without a couple of flannels. The collection spans from lightweight to heavyweight and from fresh to worn-in across every silhouette. Graphic long-sleeve t-shirts and hoodies feature UNION lettering and a variety of colorful symbols, such as the Egyptian pyramids. Check out the collection on UNION’s website.



Hélas Winter 2023

Winter activities may include a getaway to a cozy cabin, which is just what streetwear label Hélas had in mind for its Winter 2023 collection. Inspired by a cozy, secluded chateau, the Winter 2023 collection presents pieces perfect for keeping warm, such as reversible puffer coats, fleece pullovers, knit polos, and a variety of sweatshirts. A crewneck features contemporary color-blocking in shades of sage green and soft coral, and a quarter-zip pullover is knit to look almost sweater-like, donning the Hélas logo. Shades of green, brown, cream, and blue span across the collection without becoming too bright to keep things soft and warm. Essential hoodies and crewnecks feature Hélas lettering and logos, and the collection is finished off with a bucket hat and Balaclava. Check out the collection on the Hélas website.



PLEASURES Holiday 2023

The first drop of PLEASURES’s Holiday 2023 collection is here. Titled “Anytime. Anything. Anywhere,” the Los Angeles streetwear label has focused on versatility with outdoor weather in mind, creating a range of knitwear, jackets, and more. A cream and blue zip-up sweater jacket is elevated with blue mushroom and marijuana leaf patterns while varsity-style jackets come in a variety of textures, from typical leather to knit. PLEASURES iconography and script can be found throughout the collection alongside standout graphics and even photography. Two variations of a striped mohair sweater steal the spotlight, and typical hoodies and zip-ups feature grunge PLEASURES text and patterns. Check out the collection on the PLEASURES website.
