So are ALL graphic T's inherently bad for casual wear, or can some rise above the standards by not being too childish/silly? I like pic related, for example, but I'm aware of the long-standing tradition here of saying that all graphic T's are bad, so I'm curious about your take on wearing something like that.

There are plenty of brands that make graphics I like (e.g. David Lindwall, Robert Geller). I think it's just important that the graphic add something interesting to look and not be slapping onto the shirt for the sake of slapping something onto the shirt.

>> No.7659749

yeah good graphic tees are great, very casual but still can be /fa/
ones with words/ obnoxious branding on them are where the stigma comes from

>> No.7659761

>>7659741
So, for example, would you say that the picture in the OP is an example of something that adds to the look? If not(or even if) I'd love examples.

I'm updating my wardrobe because I lost a lot of it due to some big events, it never gets cold here even in the winter so tshirts are a pretty big part of my essential wardrobe. Going to buy a nice set of solid colors, but I'd like to pick up at least a few graphics or at least something unusual. ofc no real budget, if it's expensive I'll buy it next pay check instead of now.

yeah thats a positive influence, not too loud, and accentuates the color palette. could be better but certainly not bad. heres another constructive use of graphics.

I'm okay with that because at least it's clean, bold, and simple. The branding kinda kills it a bit. Frankly, though, if you're going for a print that big, might as well go a step further and do something like an outright colorblocked tee with cut-and-sewn patterns in different colors or at least with a more sophisticated and interesting execution of the print.

Not sure if it's just the picture, but I'm not digging the almost metallic look of the orange parts on that shirt. I like the look in general though, I'll look around for similar styles and see if anything works for me.

This seems on topic so I'll put it here. I saw a guy today wearing a tee shirt, it was light blue and pretty heavy material. It had different colored things going vertically across it and some word in the middle. The things may have been like fish or leaves or just abstract boxy on one end, oval on the other end shapes.

It's a long shot, but does anyone know what it was? It really caught my eye, I'm hoping it's a designer shirt of some kind so I can actually find it.
