Forget about fancy Caribbean resorts and European getaways, as camping and cottaging are the way to go as the WeSC Summer 2011 lookbook presents. Being one with nature and having a great time doing so is definitely more enjoyable to some than having to dealing with rigorous travel itineraries.

Filled with striped tanks, [playful summer dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lazy-daze-collection), [plaid button-ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creative-class-uniform) and [graphic tees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beams-plus-2), the WeSC Summer 2011 lookbook shows that you can look good and have fun in a very nonchalant manner. The catalog was modeled by WeSC activists DJ Stretch Armstrong, Kim Matulova, Shelly Zander, Sage Vaughn and Amy Gunther.
