Prepare to turn your piggybank upside down and clear some closet space, because H&M has launched a rad collection inspired by Stranger Things [1]. The retailer teamed up with Netflix to design a range of Summer-approved clothing, swimwear, and accessories that pay homage to the Hawkins Community Pool, a new hangout spot that will be prominently featured in the show's upcoming third season [2].
Each of the pieces incorporates subtle yet stylish references to the series. There's a cool graphic tee that reads "Hawkins, Indiana" in neon lettering. Hawaiian shirt-inspired patterns swap flowers for the Demogorgon's terrifying head, but ya know, in a chic way. Pool slides feature the Stranger Things logo on their straps. And yes, there's even a red-hot lifeguard one-piece so you can pretend you're Billy Hargrove [3]'s coworker.
Speaking of Billy, H&M tapped the actor who portrays him [4], Dacre Montgomery, to show off the '80s-tastic items (and his chiselled body [5]) in a poolside campaign photo shoot. Let's just say the photos are quite the bicep-filled treat. The H&M x Stranger Things capsule collection is available to shop both in stores and online starting today, and in a few weeks the Fourth of July release of season three [6] premieres on Netflix. Check out the entire collection ahead, and mark your calendars for the exciting release.
