The 40s & Shorties Fall/Winter 2015 lookbook is a collection of images that showcase the brand's latest line of apparel in the most exciting way. Featuring two models enjoying a day at the carnival, this lookbook perfectly captures the brand's vibrant aesthetic.

Though this lookbook displays the brand's Fall/Winter collection, 40s & Shorties chose an exciting summer backdrop for its latest collection. The fashionable images promote [daring street styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-3-capsule-2) and depict models as they indulge in greasy fair food while enjoying [fun theme park rides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-carnival-golf-collection).

In addition to its fun scenery, this 40s & Shorties lookbook also displays the brand's latest clothing range -- a collection that celebrates [pop culture prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/market-x-peanuts) that are riddled across socks, hats and other pieces.
