Retro summer fashion staples are still going strong in 2022 and many brands have hopped onto the nostalgia wagon with stylish (and often extremely functional) offerings.
Needles and UNION Tokyo, for instance, collaborated on a Summer 2022 collection that delivers track sets, with silhouettes that clearly nod to the '90s. UK outdoor label Craghoppers also teases out the aesthetic of '80s and '90s-era hiking wear with its Archive collection. This capsule features playful and colorful overhead fleeces, full zip hoodies, technical shorts, and more.
Hammies also makes a notable splash in the retro summer fashion category with its iconic shorts. The design of these extremely flattering and comfortable corduroy shorts dates back to Southern California in the 70s. Great for casual wear or being active, Hammies' designs are tied to surf and skateboard legends.
