The LRG Summer 2011 collection has taken a step away from classic urban streetwear and has instead focused on more simple looks that are both [sporty and classy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lacoste-swimwear-collection). This versatile line is perfect for the kid who has grown up, but still loves to skate. It's also perfect for the kid who is still a kid, but just wants to look a little more put together.

Filled with [plaid shirts, cardigans, polos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beams-plus-2) and more, the LRG Summer 2011 collection sticks to what this [men's fashion brand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mens-stuff) knows best, while also dipping into a more refined realm.

For the LRG Summer 2011 catalog, the company used skaters Tommy Sandoval and Kelly Hart and rapper Freddie Gibb to rock their gear on the beach front.
