Iconic streetwear label OBEY has unveiled its Spring/Summer 2022 collection, a wide-ranging ensemble with a focus on eye-catching prints, vibrant colors, and knit pieces.

The expansive assortment of garments includes hoodies, jackets, knitwear, polo shirts, jeans, slacks, shorts, and more. However, a definite standout is the collection's knitwear pieces, which comprise cardigans, sweater vests, and crewneck sweaters. One particularly eye-popping item is a lime green cardigan that boasts knit floral printing on the front. In addition, button-down shirts and jackets arrive in equally vibrant designs, including psychedelic floral and aquatic designs.

Elsewhere, the collection delivers a range of coordinating tops and pants in olive cotton, lilac corduroy, and workwear styles, as well graphic t-shirts, nylon shell jackets, and a selection of hats.
