It has been nearly a year since Todd Snyder and L.L.Bean dropped their “From Away” collaboration and now the brands have again partnered to release the L.L. Bean x Todd Snyder “Upta Camp” Collection, a big new collection pairing upscale urban fashion with the styles of Summer camp. From denim stone wash overshirts to five-pocket chinos, and camo sweaters, every piece in the collection is modern and trendy, but steeped in nostalgia for the long hikes and fishing trips we enjoyed as kids when, as Maine residents say, we went “upta camp.” This is L.L. Bean we’re talking about, so of course, the items in the new collection are functional as well as stylish. The L.L. Bean x Todd Snyder “Upta Camp” Collection isn’t just for cosplaying as a camper and then sitting around Starbucks all day, it’s for getting out there and having some fun in the great outdoors.
The L.L. Bean x Todd Snyder “Upta Camp” Collection are designed for easy layering so that you can stay warm as the temperature drops, and the whole collection is as durable and comfortable as anything you’ll find on the trail. Overall it’s just a really neat idea. Whether you spent your childhood summers at camp or you just grew up watching Meatballs and Salute Your Shorts, there’s something about a knit sweater with a bass on it that just takes you back to your favorite summer vacations.
