Because the Amazon Graphic Tees post got pretty popular today and devolved into some quality shit posting, I figured i'd try to address where to actually buy a "fashionable" graphic tee.

Heres an idea of the kind of shirts we're looking for.

As trend_set_go describes

There is a chasm between good and bad graphic t-shirts, with all the artsy, pop-culture, 'funny' and all that kind of prints being in the majority and certainly on the wrong side of the spectrum, and more thoughtful, abstract, or simple designs being what would look good and work well with many styles and outfits.

So with that in mind here's a few places to buy these coveted tees from the good side of the spectrum:

Cheaper (Under $40)

H&M- All over the place in terms of graphic styles, still there are some more basic graphic ones that look alright. That being said, no shirt i've bought from H&M has survived more than three washes before looking like trash.

Uniqlo - Also a bit all over the place with their tees, but they do have some nice more abstract geometric shirts like this one.

American Eagle- Tooons of band and pop culture tees, there are some great more minimalist shirts to be found.

Ugmonk- Some of their shirts are a bit busy, but there are still great ones to be had.

Tycho- This is actually the merch store for a chillwave musician, but the designs are pretty great.

Mid Range

Surf Saturdays- Beware of the big sleeves. Still they consistently drop great looking geometric and simple text tees every season.

Parra- Dutch graphic designer who's bright, crisp graphics earns him a spot on this list. I'm a big fan of this riff on old travel posters.

Commes Des Garcons Play/SHIRT- If you like hearts with eyeballs, check out their PLAY line. As a few people have pointed out, the play line is a bit played out, but CDG does have other tee shirt offerings with interesting designs for the same price point.

Paul Smith- Has a huge range of tees, among the crazy all over print ones, you can find pretty sweet basic designs like this rainbow zebra photo box shirt

Pricey ($100+)

Kapital- Mainly known for their awesome denim, this Japanese brand also has a few awesome tees this year.

A.P.C- Classic french minimalist brand with a large variety of graphic tees. They generally either do plain text or photo box on their shirts.

Commes Des Garcons HOMME- A higher end line of CDG founded in collaboration with Junya Watanabe. Some of their tees play with materials in a really interesting way.

Undercover- A Japanese brand that's well respected over on r/Streetwear. Some nice photo box tees.

Maison Kitsune- They tend to put their logo on everything, but it's a pretty cute fox so i'm not complaining.

Acne- Bold color shirts with photo boxes. These are definitely statement pieces.

Maison Margiela- These definitely start to fall in the statement piece category.

Visvim- John Mayer's favorite brand. Not too many graphic tees here, but the ones they have are pretty great

Saint Laurent- Most of their shirts this year just say their brand name, but they look pretty nice if you're trying to show off I suppose.

Let me know what you think and if there are any brands I missed!
