Knowing that people want to stay hydrated and refreshed but also enjoy a range of summer activities, [Dunkin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunkin-merch)' created a quirky line of clothing called Signature Espresso-Wear that introduces styles that can hold its Signature Latte. Months ago, Dunkin' launched a fake line of clothing that included the Latte-nk Tops, Cappu-chinos and Americano-veralls. Although the practical, beverage-holding styles were never made available for consumer purchase, Dunkin' is now reviving the summery Latte-nk Tops alongside two new items, the Latte-nkini and Latte-viators.

A limited number of the beverage-holding Latte-nk Tops can be won on [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heinz-kegchup) by commenting on the brand's stories and posts, promising an effortless way for people to enjoy a Dunkin' Signature Latte and keep their hands free.
