Best graphic t-shirts for men in 2023

It’s a mainstay of every man’s wardrobe. The graphic t-shirt is a staple that’s here to stay.

Back in the era before it was possible to post your thoughts via a social media platform, graphic tees offered a way to communicate a message to the world – whether it was the band you loved, sports team you supported or somewhere you’d travelled.

Now, every brand – from luxury fashion houses to the high street – offer their own iteration.

Some are cool collaborations with artists, whilst others simply bear a printed logo. Either way, every design represents an easy way to add some personality to your off-duty look.

A simple tee, whatever your budget will complete your summer 2023 outfit, whatever the occasion. Here are some of my faves.

Stay Creative Co Not There T-Shirt – Black

Any film fan should be familiar with SCRT. Collaborating regularly with cult classics like American Psycho and A Clockwork Orange, it’s a brand that offers the movie buffs the chance to sport their love for the cinema proudly on their chests.

Rowing Blazers Arthur Ashe Icon Graphic Tee

If you’re into the vintage, collegiate aesthetic, it’s Rowing Blazers that should be on your radar.

From the classic tees featuring the brand’s collegiate logo to partnerships with sports teams or playful characters like Babar The Elephant, the collections are packed with preppy nostalgia.

Stussy Landin Tee

A brand borne out of the late Eighties Californan surf scene, Stussy has since grown to become a youth culture favourite, loved by skaters, musicians and street-stylers alike.

Consistently offering a wide range of t-shirt designs season after season, the American label should be on the list of any fan of a bold print.

A.P.C. Logo-Print Cotton-Jersey T-Shirt

One for when your suitcase, Parisian label A.P.C.’s tee is brimming with summer spirit – and not solely because vacances is the French word for holiday.
