Brand positioning (in plain English)

• BOSS line: focused on business / smart-casual. Sharp silhouettes, premium materials, polished finishes. Ideal for the office, formal events, professional meetings.

• HUGO line: focused on youth / fashion / street-chic. Bolder cuts, more prominent logos, colors, and graphics. Perfect for going out, weekends, trendy looks.

Useful shortcut: BOSS style = elegant and timeless; HUGO style = creative and urban.
