The OBEY Summer 2011 collection for menswear gets a splash of color to brighten up the casual ensembles.
The line features muted blues, coral, raffia and more. The styling is kept simple with just some graphic tees, surfer-dude tanks and relaxed shorts. There's some mid-90s influence in the washed denim button-up shirts and jean jackets. The designers of OBEY admit that it may be a bit boring, but it's suited for guys who are looking for good-quality basics at a decent price. Each season, OBEY tries to come up with a different theme for the line, and the paint-splattered lookbook definitely conveys casual painter-style looks that are laid-back and cool.
