The series of clothing features more than just graphic tees as there are also pajama pants and more. The animated characters from Sanrio have a playful sense of joy and nostalgia whilst also celebrating Hello Kitty's 50th anniversary.

The tonal palette dives into a retro theme with hues of sky blue, lavender, pink, and more. It is also joined by a psychedelic graphic of tie-dye themes with smaller characters applied through embroidery. The aforementioned pajama pants are seen in various patterns including pinstripe, blurred checker design, cloudy patterns, allover prints of the characters, and regular stripes -- these are done in tones of black, white, gray, pink, and sky blue.
