When did the Palace Autumn 2026 collection release?

Palace revealed the Autumn 2026 lookbook on July 31, 2026 and published the full item list on August 3, with the collection rolling out globally from August 7, 2026. Palace typically releases in weekly drops through its webstore and physical stores, so individual pieces from a season can appear across several release dates rather than all at once.

Why is Betty Boop on a skate brand's collection?

Betty Boop is a Fleischer Studios character who debuted in 1930, and the graphics appear under licence. Beyond the novelty, the art style is a practical fit: rubber-hose era animation used heavy black outlines and flat colour fills, which reproduce cleanly through screen printing and stay legible after repeated washing. It is also the only graphic in a collection full of leather, camo and collegiate lettering that is not trying to look tough, which gives the range its contrast.

How can you tell a licensed cartoon graphic tee from a bootleg?

Check the outline. Licensed graphics are printed from the rights holder's approved vector artwork, so line weight is consistent and edges are sharp. Bootlegs are usually traced or upscaled from low-resolution images, which produces outlines that vary in thickness or go slightly soft at the edges. Also look at the colour separations — a legitimate print will have clean boundaries between flat colour areas rather than fringing where two colours meet.

How do you style a cartoon graphic tee without looking childish?

Keep the tee as the only playful element and let everything else be plain: straight dark denim and a clean low-top sneaker is the safest base. Choose a mid-to-heavyweight cotton rather than a thin soft tee, since fabric weight does most of the work in making a cartoon print read as skatewear instead of sleepwear. Layering an open overshirt or chore coat over the print also breaks up its edges, which removes most of the costume effect.
