To bring that love to life, Acne Studio's latest capsule collection features '90s toy Monster in My Pocket. If you're unfamiliar with the mega-hit, it was considered one of the greatest toys of all time. Taking inspiration from mythology and science fiction, hundreds of monsters and creatures were made into tiny collectables. And whether or not you adored the toy, there's no denying that the new capsule is dripping in cool factor.

With prints of well-known characters adorning tee's and hoodies, a mystical color palette and exquisite details create an extra special assortment. Among the full collection are timeless pieces like a knit sweater with a single striped sleeve, a screen-printed crisp button-down and a cozy graphic sweatshirt. Some of the must-have accessories include retro ribbed gym socks and a printed bucket hat and scarves.
