In time for summer, a new [OBEY](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reebok-obey) WOMENS collection became available. It's comprised of comfortable rompers, relaxed dresses, graphic tank tops, polos, shorts, tie-dye pieces, matching shirt and shorts combinations, as well as a range of accessories to pair with it all.

To promote the new OBEY WOMENS collection, the streetwear brand released a [stylized lookbook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/girls-dont-cry-collection) that shows various female muses posing in the apparel against bright tropical backdrops. This helps to enhance the use of color that's integrated into the apparel -- with floral patterns and other unique markings making the pieces instantly reminiscent of summer.

Currently, the 2017 collection can be purchased from OBEY's web store, along with a number of other retailers who carry the brand.
