On February 24 th RIPNDIP made serious noise with their well received spring collection but they’ve surprised us all with an even louder spring 2 drop which you can get your hands on now.

The collection features over 50 colourful pieces that range from vibrant hoodies, jackets and

outerwear to shorts and knitwear and even accessories like tote bags and light switch covers; it really does have diversity that only RIPNDIP could pull off, and pull off effectively. No plain pieces are in sight as there are prints, patterns and two tones everywhere and as expected Lord Nermal is creatively blended into several pieces that include Super Mario references with Piranha Plant, and even some washed tees featuring The Joy Of Painting Icon Bob Ross.

My favourite piece from this drop is easily the Repeat Cotton Twill Jacket. This full print

monochrome jacket may not be the most colourful choice compared to some of the other more eye catching items in the drop but to me it makes the biggest statement with the iconic Must Be Nice wrapping around the entire jacket and even after looking through the entire drop piece by piece it’s still that standout piece that will be making its way to my cart.

After choosing my favourite item from the drop I decided to look for my favourite “budget” piece which was difficult as RIPNDIP always offer so many versatile pieces that usually don’t rise any higher than £25. In the end I decided on the Colour Block Multi Panel Tee. This triple coloured vibrant tee reminded me so much of the Teddy Fresh collab and the reason I knew it was my value for money piece from this drop was not only because of its steal of a price, but because of its versatility as I could see it being worked into so many unique styles among RIPNDIP fans.

RIPNDIP always out does itself with its summer and spring wear so I’m not surprised that they’ve made me want to buy half of this collection in one sitting. I’ve always been a sucker for their unique prints and almost over the top designs and just as always I’m excited to see what Ryan O’Connor and RIPNDIP have in store for us this summer.
