Acid Drop Boardshorts

While playfully referencing the rampant usage of narcotics in the 60s and skate/surf culture, the Acid Drop boardshort is born.

Colorways and Patterns

So many ideas inspired the patterns. The ocean, music, 60s clothing patterns, and the word "acid" are a few of the ideas that I wanted to mesh together to get something that hasn't been done but is still appealing to a modern audience.

Immersive Thinking

 Growing up in Southern California, around different beach cities like Huntington Beach, really helped the process of developing the end product. Imagining what I, or friends, would want to wear to the beach.

2 Different Ways of Styling

The shorts pay homage to counterculture while still being modern. The shorts would be available in a colorful, loud design or in a sleek black with psychedelic accents.
