(adjective) Pronounced “mixi.” It is an overall attitude inspired by fashion-forward, adventure-seeking Millennials and Gen Z. It comes from the belief that good fashion isn’t just for runways, but for all the
time. From online to irl, your
aesthetic is more relevant now than ever. Going on hikes isn’t just about having the best
gear, it’s about looking good while you do it (for the ‘gram, of course). That
aesthetic-but-functional outdoor attitude is MMXXI.
The MMXXI streetwear line is Cape Union Mart’s answer to this
aesthetic-driven generation. Gone are the days of mismatched earth tones and ill-fitting (but useful!) outdoor gear. The MMXXI attitude brings a gorpcore-inspired clothing line to the younger generation that is both functional and fashionable. MMXXI style is athleisure clothes that make a statement while simultaneously protecting you from the elements. You could wear the same MMXXI outfit to walk down the road for a haircut, or to summit a mountain on a
4-day hike. In your MMXXI streetwear, you’
ll be ready for anything.
Mate 1: Looks like it might rain
today, you sure you wanna wear that fashionable outfit?
Mate 2: Yea dude, this outfit is super MMXXI, it’s good in any weather.
You’ve
got a totally MMXXI
attitude. I like it.
