Patterned Spring-Ready Technical Fashion

The North Face Urban Exploration Drops Urban Oasis Range

The North Face Urban Exploration launches the second installment of its Spring/Summer 2022 offerings with the Urban Oasis collection. The capsule continues to deliver goods that border between urban and outdoor purposes. This includes relaxed and comfortable wearables that are made with modern utility and materials in mind.

The seasonal range includes items that are designed with heavy patterns that detail shirts and dresses. This continues on with the selection of crossbody bags, graphic tees, short sleeve shirts, and cargo shorts that are all designed with a tie-dye pattern. Additionally, the rest of the capsule includes a white tee that is marked with bold accents. It features text across the chest that reads "Operational garments for spaceship earth” and "Your Private Sky" at the back.
