Advisory Board Crystals Make Summer Dressing As Easy As Abc. (123.)
Brand: Advisory Board Crystals Abc. 123.
Season: Spring/Summer 2022
Buy: Highsnobiety Shop
Editor's Notes: You might know Advisory Board Crystals best for its blend of streetwear-infused hippy-wear, which often includes glorious graphic overloads of tie-dye and huge nature-inspired prints. But with its sub-label Abc. 123. things are a little bit different — and a lot more minimal.
Launched in January 2021, the new division of the brand focuses on all things staple, creating seasonal-appropriate basics with subtle logo detailing.
This includes everything from workwear-inspired sets to cozy French terry sweatsuits, all of which are emblazoned with its small logo tag.
The latest drop from the sub-label follows the precedent set by its previous collections, offering a huge array of colorways and products to choose from. What it lacks in large logos and experimental graphics, it more than makes up for in the vastness of its selection.
Currently available on the Highsnobiety Shop, the latest pieces focus on four main colors, all of which come with a full uniform of trousers, tops, and socks. This makes color-matching within outfits easy. For example, in the color "apatite", which is a teal green hue, there is a hoodie, crewneck, sweatshorts, sweatpants, work pants, and socks all available to mix and match from.
As part of the Spring/Summer season, workwear-inspired pants are returning, which include a radiation-protection pocket to stop the radiation from wireless devices (ie: phones and headphones) from reaching you. It's something that co-owners Remington Guest and Heather Haber previously told us came from being "paranoid about what comes out of a mobile device. All the radiation and the EMFs."
Coming with a complimentary workwear-inspired white shirt, the trousers are offered in standard black and white colorways along with this season's new summer-centered hues.

Another fan-favorite that has returned for this season is French terry sweats, which arrive in the same fit as its previous collection but with a new lightweight material. The custom-milled rib and French terry fabric, according to a statement by the brand, "feels like you’re wrapped in a lightweight breathable bathrobe."
Check out the new season's offerings over on the Highsnobiety Shop, along with more pieces from the brand.
