Summer Surf Clothing and Hot New Trends for 2011
What’s hot and what’s not in the world of surf clothing? This year sees plenty of old favourites back on the summer shelves: including slaps, flip flops, trucker caps and big sunglasses! There are some great combos happening too – get that “just got barrelled at Mentawai” look with a pair of boardies, some new sandals and the right shades, or go for some post surf cool with walk shorts and a brightly coloured check shirt.
Pick your brands for the style that fits you. Reef’s 2011 t shirt range is perfect for the retro rocker who wants to keep his surf clothing tuned to some 80s old school cool. There are some nice boardies in the Reef range for boys and girls, too – and sizzling hot swimwear for the ladies!
Off the beach it’s business as usual with a great selection of cargo pants and jeans in skinny fit and surf/skate style loose fits too. Complete a skinny fit surf look with a bright retro tee and a patterned zip up hoodie. If you’re going for the baggy skate and surf look, you’ll want to finish off at the top with an O’Neill tee or a jumper style hoodie. O’Neill surf clothing will give you the perfect crossover street cred for the laid back look: Jack O’Neill helped invent street board sports as well as being instrumental in the golden age of surfing, and his company’s threads have kept that underground theme going.
Accessories are a must for the total surf look. Big watches go great with hoodies, tees and shirts. If you’re looking for a complete ensemble don’t forget your rucksack – perfect for packing everything in for a day at the beach, or a weekend in the urban jungle!
