Forever 21 recently released an unconventional active apparel collection in collaboration with the [United States Postal Service](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ralph-lauren-and-usps). The Forever 21 USPS clothing line fuses a range of streetwear styles with post office graphics, phrases and slogans like "Priority Mail," "Express" and "First Class."

The [athleisure clothing collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fresh-athleisure-collection) includes pieces that begin just under $15 and go up to just over $55, including everything from colorful shorts and zippered clutches to hoodies, t-shirts and other styles for men and women. Some of the standouts from the range include the USPS Graphic Reflective Trim Hooded Jacket, which includes a label-like detail on the arm, and the USPS Hooded Transparent Jacket, which layers perfectly over other pieces from the [collaborative fashion collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puma-x-madhappy) like the boldly patterned tube tops.
