Here's yet another reason to plan an Orange County road trip. After popping up in LA a few years back, Compton-based basics brand Drifter has debuted its first flagship at The OC Mix within stylish Costa Mesa shopping center SOCO Collection.

Known for its edgy-luxe essentials beloved by everyone from Kylie Jenner to Ruby Rose, the label soft-opened a few days ago and offers its full range of women's and men's apparel. Expect to find organic cotton tees, distressed dresses, drop-crotch shorts, and more athleticwear-inspired staples in monochromatic hues.
