Boutique clothing label Round Two has announced the launch of 'Collection 4,' its newest apparel capsule that draws from the styles and cuts of 70s and 80s-era Californian surf culture.
Inspired by vintage aesthetics, the concise and cohesive new collection offers shoppers a unique terry cloth set, which includes a colorful beach shirt and baggy pants. According to the company, the set specifically borrows looks from the brand's own private archive.
In addition to its eye-catching blue, green, yellow, and red color-blocking, the new beach shirt features a full zipper and oversized front pockets. Meanwhile, the new pants arrive in a sky blue hue and feature zippers that can be used to turn the pants into shorts.
