In life you have two choices: either use your natural skills to reach dizzying heights, or move to Rhode Island. Thankfully choosing the former in lieu of the 401, The Collective Clothing Company.

From a NE-based four-man streetwear crew itching to utilize their "talents to make the most out of life", CCC's summer collection of graphic tees, hoodies, and LE shades've got clean iconography, plus athletic & tropical themes, all whilst befitting the company's mantra, "We are Winners. Enjoy living the Good Life. Have Fun. Live Fly" -- not surprisingly, also the slogan of the undefeated Norwell High quiz bowl team. Fresh styles include a black short-sleeve that portrays a female golfer in stilettos/very short, underwear-exposing dress bending over above the phrase, "We Get Birdies!"; a white cotton crewneck featuring a cracked/beat up royal blue football helmet with the company's "C" logo over the words "The Collective Headcrushers"; and one that sports a broken wooden tennis racket and the declaration, "Don't Play With Us", also the tagline for the McEnroe Brothers Tennis Camp. They've also got double-sided tees like the heather grey Live Fly that showcases a giant airplane propeller across the back; a red short sleeve with the logo "C" in a snake skin print; and one rocking "Greetings From" on the back and, on the front, a multi-colored oval city skyline, clearly a clever reference to the City Oval cricket stadium in Coburg, Australia.

Because man cannot live on tees alone, CCC also rocks pullover hoodies like the grey Script Fade with a red/blue TC cursive logo in "summer-time fade colorway," and a pair of black limited edition mirrored collab shades from Dang, also an admirably mild expletive uttered when realizing you accidentally got off the Acela in Providence.
