As expected, the Lazy Oaf Spring/Summer 2012 menswear collection and lookbook is just as phenomenal as the womenswear collection and lookbook, which I typed about in yesterday's post, Lazy Oaf Spring/Summer 2012 Womenswear. That's right, 2 Lazy Oaf orientated posts in 2 days.

Whilst the womenswear collection featured fruit, floral, animal and asymmetric prints, the menswear collection has headed in a slightly different direction. Animals are still very much a standing theme throughout the collection, and staying true to the stereotypical Lazy Oaf concept, asymmetric prints are too. Something we didn't see too often in the womenswear collection was almost comical cartoon-like graphic prints and admirable typography, which in a way seem to continuously distinguish the menswear and womenswear designs, after being a seemingly frequent occurrence last season in the Lazy Oaf Autumn/Winter 2012 menswear collection also. 

Lazy Oaf seem to want their girls to look flirty, fun, friendly and attractive, whereas their boys are handsome, funny and tough. Perhaps this is simply an interpretation of what we all experienced in the school playground as children, and how the girls are always giggling among themselves and constantly pointing out the cute guys, whilst the guys are lapping up the attention and trying their absolute best to be as witty and tough-looking as possible. I mean, impressing girls was never my forte, as in most cases I've always been deemed as 'one of the girls', but it's a possibility, right? 

Once again, I've marked this collection as one of my all time favourites. And therefore once again, well done, Lazy Oaf!

The full Lazy Oaf Spring/Summer 2012 collection will be available to purchase via the Lazy Oaf website and/or London-based store/boutique. In the meantime, you can view the full Spring/Summer 2012 menswear lookbook right here!
