boohooMAN has teamed up with actor and Power star Michael Rainey Jr. to launch a new collection just in time for fall. The collaboration, which debuts today, introduces a more polished and elevated feel to the brand, blending ’70s-inspired themes with modern streetwear. The 69-piece collection, now available exclusively at boohooMAN.com, includes high-quality knits, outerwear, dark denim flares, and corduroy.
The collection, which speaks to Rainey’s ability to stay on the pulse of culture, features versatile layering pieces that transition seamlessly from day to night. Faux leather jackets and trousers stand out as essential fall staples, while sleek turtlenecks and two-piece sets create refined, layered looks.
In a recent interview, Michael Rainey Jr. discussed his inspiration and the creative process behind the collaboration.
Inside the Collection with Michael Rainey Jr.
When asked about the collection’s strong ’70s-inspired theme, Rainey explained, “I’m big on period pieces, I love how clothes tell the story of a time. The ’70s still feels fresh to me: flares, corduroy, velour, its attitude.” He noted that his goal with boohooMAN was to translate that energy for today by pairing the ’70s shapes with modern street staples like a crisp tee, a letterman jacket, and sneakers, so the looks feel “effortless, not forced.”
Rainey, whose personal style is known for mixing elevated streetwear with high fashion, also shared his favorite versatile pieces from the collection. He pointed to the flare jeans as a go-to item, explaining that they can be dressed up or down. “Daytime, I’ll do them with a simple tee and sneakers; at night I’ll swap in a knit polo or a tucked button-up with loafers and it’s instantly cleaner,” he said. He also highlighted the velour track pants, which can be elevated with loafers for a night out or styled with a hoodie and sneakers for a more casual look. “Same pieces, different intention,” he noted.
The actor also reflected on how the collaboration with boohooMAN reflects his own personal growth. He said, “It was cool to help push the brand into a sharper space. I’ve grown up in front of people, been acting since I was nine, and my style grew up with me.” He explained that his style has become more intentional over time, focusing on “cleaner fits, richer textures, pieces that actually last.” Rainey believes the collaboration successfully delivers “an accessible price point with considered details,” and that it speaks to a cultural desire to “look put together without losing yourself.” He concluded, “If this collection helps you elevate and still keep it real, then we did our job.”
