How to choose the print?
The first printed T-shirts were used as the advertisment of political parties. Later, prints have became an essential element of sports clothes and today there are more and more eagerly used among streetwear and casual designs. Large overprints and fancy, expressive images are popular again.
Prints are trendy, but contrary to appearances, it's not simple to find the perfect overprint that boosts the styling up, makes it look eye-catching and fits flawlessly to other parts of the styling.
So, what to pay attention to when choosing an overprint to get an edgy look?
Sweatshirts, hoodies and printed T-shirts – trendy tags still on the top
Streetwear and sports designs are always the perfect choice for printed tags and names of the world's biggest cities like London, Tokyo or New York. Names of sport clubs and slogans are also welcome in the print world. However, it's recommended to be careful with slogans and common sayings because they may not attract the desired attention. The overprint can't be trivial but trendy highlighted with some hashtags, underlinings or a specific way of writing.
Printed clothes – the form also matters
When choosing the perfect T-shirt and printed sweatshirt you need to pay attention not only to the content itself but also to the way how it is written. If you have decided on a men's printed sweatshirt, features like fonts, letters' size and their positioning are an extremely important factor. Classic overprints are usually placed at the front of a T-shirt or a sweatshirt. However, printed sleeves are more and more popular. Other hot trends are large vertical prints and images on the back of T-shirts, sweatshirts, jackets or even coats. In general, the more fancy and unique print, the better.
Unique image instead of tags
Tags are only one of many possibilities when it comes to printing. It's definitely worth to appreciate all types of graphics. For example, a sporty sweatshirt or hoodie is the best place for the print with famous sportsmen or muscular silhouette.
On the other hand, casual T-shirts and sweatshirts look best with an image that depicts the view of a big city. Other decent ideas are geometric prints with interesting shapes and colours, and unique, funny or dark drawings. Especially the rock'n'roll artistically blurred ones like graffiti skulls and heads or whole silhouettes of animals work great in streetwear style.
All about the print
Large and expressive prints have got a serious opponent in the print world – small prints. There are placed not only at the front, but on the back and sleeves of sweatshirts, T-shirts, longsleeves and jackets. Randomly placed images, tags and prints provide the styling with freshness and a unique look. They are eye-catching and work best in streetwear stylings matched with modern designs. A trendy printed sweatshirt goes well with joggers, as a printed men's T-shirt fits perfectly to baggy trousers.
Sweatshirts, trousers and printed T-shirts – how to wear them trendy?
Overprints have got the force, however, it needs to be awakened. Creating an outstanding styling, in which prints come first is not easy. A decent idea is to match a printed sweatshirt or a T-shirt with a neutral colour jacket and trousers. Prints expose all minimalistic clothes. To make the styling consistent, refer to the print colours. Red details are strengthened by red shoes or a cap. Yellow accents can be highlighted by the jacket's lining. Blue prints? A jacket with a blue zip-fastening or a hoodie with blue drawstrings.
