[Advisory Board Crystals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydro-moc) is a raving brand in the context of the streetwear community. Its recent launch is yet another affirmation of its style-forward aesthetics as it spotlights a [baggy crewneck](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boys-lie-x-popup-bagels) that is created through "the imprint's signature crystal-infused dye process. The main features of the garment's design include a recurring use of glitter, subtle contrast-establishing neon greens and a number of shoutouts to the label's logo 'Abc.'

Advisory Board Crystals released this chic and comfortable sweater for Valentine's Day. However, its theme — which subtly communicates the aches of a broken heart, is probably more suited for Singles Awareness Day which falls on February 15th.

The crewneck became available at 8 a.m. PST today and is offered at Advisory Board Crystals' e-commerce shop, as well as a few retailers, including Union Los Angeles, Union Tokyo, and Patron of the New, New York.
