HOW WE DO GRAPHIC-PRINT T-SHIRTS

By Lakeisha Goedluck, 22 August 2018

We’re sadly nearing the end of summer, but there's still plenty of time left to rock short-sleeved tees without needing an extra layer. If you’re looking to switch it up and take a break from plain white T-shirts or Breton-stripe styles, why not don a graphic-print top instead? A favourite amongst street-stylers, take a look at how the guys at ASOS HQ are wearing theirs.

Thanks to Instagram, bringing together classical paintings and colloquial phrases to humorous effect is totally a thing. And our Cultural Marketing Coordinator Babatunde proves that he’s down to see the funny side of things with this T-shirt.

He keeps the rest of his outfit chilled with a pair of black jeans and corresponding retro Nike creps. That way, his tongue-in-cheek tee is free to speak for itself.

As a stalwart skatewear brand, it’s good to have a few Obey threads as part of your rotation. Our Culture Writer Sam opts for a lilac tee with an arty graphic print to kick off his laid-back skater style.

On his bottom half, he picks a pair of black tapered jeans and rounds off his look with the ultimate skate shoe: the Vans Old Skool trainer in black.

Jumping on fresh London-based streetwear brand Dream But Do Not Sleep, our Junior Sub Editor Ashley gives us a reason to get excited about the prospect of wearing long sleeves again (it's been a while).

He keeps his vibe subdued and complements the pastel colours he’s got going on up top with a pair of pale grey trews. Clean white kicks with an ever-steezy gum sole finish off his 'fit on a minimal note.

Completing our round-up with a bang, Email Artworker Tom goes for maximum impact with this punchy print. Considering the colourful nature of his top, he decides to choose laid-back bits for the rest of his ensemble.
