The Weeknd XO merchandise line was updated to be a part of the R&B artist's Spring/Summer 2017 collection.
Included are long-sleeve shirts, tees, coach jackets, socks and hats, all of which come emblazoned with suggestive party goer graphics. On a number of shirts, the phrase "XO TIL WE OVERDOSE" is written boldly, along with images of women who are sitting in skulls and others who look like zombies who are curled up in seductive poses.
In addition to these graphics, The Weeknd XO merchandise line features the tattooed lip motif that's appeared on a number of pieces from past collections as well. To make the artists' mark known, the "XO" motif is also presented prominently, which comes with a simple heart above the two letters.
