New York City’s Governors Ball is among some of the biggest festivals to take place in the U.S., and if you’ve already scored Gov Ball tickets to see headliners including Post Malone, SZA, The Killers, Peso Pluma and 21 Savage, Forever 21 wants to help style you with a limited-edition collection inspired by the Big Apple.
As one of the official partners of the music festival, the apparel brand teamed up with Live Nation and C3 to launch exclusive Gov Ball-themed festival outfits — and it’s still in stock (for now). The co-branded collection aims to pay homage to NYC and its sports heritage, featuring eight unique styles to stock up on. You can expect basketball shorts, hockey jerseys and basketball tops infused with a bit of glam to give it a fashionable twist.
Each piece is also versatile enough to pair with your festival gear, including venue-approved bags and sunscreen so you can carry all your travel necessities without sacrificing trendiness.
Sizes go from XS to XL, with prices ranging from $24.99 to $79.99. The collection is available to shop online, in select New York stores and on site for the entire duration of Gov Ball.
To help you stock up on the limited-edition collab, we’ve picked out a few of our favorite pieces below. You can shop the entire Gov Ball x Forever 21 collection here.
