Saturdays NYC has released a new lookbook featuring its Summer 2015 offerings. Comprised of menswear staples such as short-sleeve shirts and crewneck sweaters, the Summer 2015 collection makes use of spartan color ways, eye-catching patterns and tonal tie-dye looks that pay homage to the label's surfing roots.
The Summer 2015 collection and accompanying lookbook are not all the brand has to celebrate -- it recently opened a new flagship store in Osaka, Japan. Most of the space is dedicated to the New York surf brand's apparel and merchandise, but there is room for a coffee counter in the two-storey loft.
Those who find themselves far from Japan can head over to the Saturdays NYC webstore to shop the brand's latest collection.
