The Quiet Life x Watershed capsule collection, a playful mix of headwear and garments, is accompanied by a set of surfboards.
It makes sense for the Los Angeles streetwear label (The Quiet Life) to partner with the UK surf and street retailer. Like the rest of the offerings, the surfboards are emblazoned with the same bold graphics and patterns that we've come to expect from The Quiet Life.
The collaboration also sticks to the brand's tried-and-true West Coast aesthetic. It includes short-sleeve shirts, hoodies, raglans and printed bucket hats. This is how Californians do streetwear: effortless, easygoing and breathable. Overall, The Quiet Life x Watershed Capsule collection might have you wishing you could switch coasts.
