Fifty years after Perry Ellis redefined American sportswear, the 50th Anniversary Capsule Collection marks the milestone with Alexander Ludwig, Global Brand Ambassador. The capsule is built for the return to the city: merino wool blend sweaters, raw denim, tailored suit separates and outerwear that move from the office to dinner without a change of clothes. Every piece carries the fit and fabric standards Perry Ellis has held since 1976. Shop the full capsule while the size run is complete.
What Is in the 50th Anniversary Capsule Collection?
This capsule is a tight edit of the pieces a modern wardrobe is built on, made in fabrics that earn the prestige of a 50th anniversary. Each product in our collection is designed to be either worn together, or live as standalone pieces in your outfit.
- Merino wool blend sweaters: A geometric jacquard crewneck and a button-through polo cardigan in a merino and lyocell blend that feels soft against the skin and holds its shape
- Tech knit turtleneck: Moisture-wicking stretch knit with ribbed cuffs and hem, the layer that goes under a sport coat or over a tee
- Raw denim: A rigid straight leg five-pocket jean and a trucker jacket in 100% cotton raw denim that breaks in to your own wear pattern
- Tailored suit separates: The slim fit Louis suit in a stretch dobby weave, a stretch double-breasted suit jacket and classic pleated suit pants in a smooth plain weave
- Outerwear: A textured wool double-breasted overcoat and a leather bomber with a shearling collar for the coldest weeks of the campaign season
- Shirts, chinos and tees: An abstract floral herringbone shirt, slim fit double cloth chinos and interlock crew neck tees that anchor the rest
Popular sizes and styles may sell out first, so shop the pieces you plan to wear all season early.
50 Years of Perry Ellis: American Menswear Since 1976
Perry Ellis founded the label in 1976 and redefined American sportswear by bringing wit, color and a modern sensibility to classic design. Fifty years on, the brand still builds clothing the same way: fit first, fabric second, trend last.
- Fit standards that are timeless: Classic, modern and slim fits sized consistently across dress shirts, pants and tailoring, season after season
- Performance woven in: Wrinkle resistance, four-way stretch and wash-and-wear finishes are standard on Perry Ellis suiting and pants, not upgrades
- Opposite of flash fashion: The overcoat you keep for a decade, the raw denim that gets better every year
- Designed for everyday life: Versatile, functional clothing for the man who needs one wardrobe to cover the office, the weekend and the wedding
How to Wear the Capsule from the Office to the Weekend
The capsule was edited so every piece pairs with at least two others. A few combinations you can start with:
- Business Casual Office: The Louis suit jacket over the tech knit turtleneck, with the matching suit pants and dress shoes
- Slightly Upscale Dinner: The merino polo cardigan buttoned to the top, raw denim jeans and the leather shearling collar bomber
- Casual Weekend: The raw denim trucker jacket over a crew neck tee, slim fit chinos and sneakers
- Travel in Style: The double-breasted overcoat over a geometric crewneck sweater, which layers without bulk and steps off a plane looking pressed
- Great for Layering: A fine merino knit goes under tailoring, a textured wool coat goes over everything; see the full outerwear collection for the in-between weeks
