I spend 50% of my time thinking about crafts and the other 50% shopping for clothes (hey, I’m a fashion writer—it’s my job!), so the limited edition Lee x Crayola collection feels like it was made specifically for me. This whimsical collection is inspired by Crayola’s ’90s-inspired colors and Lee’s workwear icons—think: utility pants, chore jackets, and more—for nostalgic and effortlessly cool style.

The collection, which launched in August, is available at Walmart (though many items have already sold out) and Lee. It features men’s and women’s styles, including timeless yet oh-so-trendy silhouettes like the Straight Carpenter Jeans, Crop Chore Jacket, and Slim Straight Bib Overall, plus lots of cool graphic tees and sweatshirts. It also includes a line of accessories, including an Artist Supply Tote, Canvas Artist Apron, and Artist Supply Pouch, which feel very on-brand for Crayola, of course.

As soon as I saw this collection drop, it was an immediate yes for me, and I’ve been living in my selections ever since. Here’s what I snagged from the limited edition drop—you’ll want to add them to your cart ASAP before they sell out.

I have several carpenter jeans in my wardrobe, but the Lee x Crayola Loose Straight Carpenter Jeans are my best-fitting pair. These baggy utility pants are constructed from 100% cotton that feels lived in, making them all the more comfortable. They’re also available in the Lees x Crayola limited edition red, yellow, and blue (I grabbed this color!) primary colors. 

Sizes Available: 24-34

I am obsessed with overalls and, honestly, super picky about how they fit—so I was thrilled when I slipped into the Lee x Crayola Slim Straight Bib Overalls and saw how flattering and cute they are. These overalls are constructed from the same comfy, lived-in 100% cotton material as the carpenter pants, making them a great choice for long wear (I have already worn mine several times while working from home). I also love the red color for fall. 

Sizes Available: XS-XL

Lee x Crayola Ecru Crop Chore Jacket

The Lee x Crayola Ecru Crop Chore Jacket is the item I wanted most from the collection. While I haven’t gotten a ton of wear out of it yet (it’s still very much summer in Los Angeles), I know it’s a piece I can throw on over and over again once the weather cools down. This jacket—which is also available in a longer men’s style—is constructed from cotton with a little bit of stretch, so it’s flexible against the body and doesn’t make you feel restricted despite its cropped fit. I love it for its details, including the green, yellow, red, and blue tack buttons on the front breast pockets. 

Sizes Available: XS-XL
Materials: Cotton, spandex

The Crop Chore Jacket also comes in blue, yellow, and red colorways to match the Lee x Crayola carpenter pants. Although I didn’t have space for two of these jackets in my closet, I adore the colors in this collection and believe they would make a fantastic set when paired with the Carpenter Jeans. 

Sizes Available: XS-XL
Materials: Cotton, spandex

Lee x Crayola Artist Supply Tote

As a crafty person, I had to add the Lee x Crayola Artist Supply Tote to my haul (and, trust me, I also wanted the Canvas Artist Apron and Artist Supply Pouch—so fun!). This tote bag is so well-made and features a durable cotton canvas construction with lots of front utility pockets for art supplies and other small essentials like sunscreen, lip gloss, and more. I’ve already used the tote to cart my crochet and needlepoint projects around and bring my computer and work essentials to a local coffee shop. 

Material: Cotton canvas
Size: 19 x 13 x 5 inches
