[Lazy Oaf](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lazy-oaf-3), a streetwear brand that's based in London, released a small collection of apparel that features the beloved 1920s cartoon mouse character from [Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loungefly-1).

A selection of styles are available for both men and women, with Mickey and Minnie used on each of the designs. As with many of its past collections, Lazy Oaf brings a cynical edge to the 1920s cartoon. This is shown most prominently on the men's shirts -- one of which shows a frazzled version of Mickey looking into a mirror with a hazy expression on his face.

Meanwhile, a striped long-sleeve comes emblazoned with a somber rendition of the mouse, along with "LAZY" written beneath him in bold red lettering.
