Vintage T-shirts [ What are 3 ways to coordinate your clothes without looking tacky? Page 2

Choose vintage T-shirts by trusting your own sensibilities!

With all the choices available, some people may find it difficult to choose a vintage T-shirt. There are many reasons why some people find it difficult to choose a vintage T-shirt: “an asset,” “a celebrity wears it,” “an original from a popular band,” “a valuable tag design,” etc. However, I think it is best to go around the circle and choose vintage T-shirts by trusting your own sensibility.

When I look for vintage T-shirts, I tend to pick the ones that have the same copywrite printed on them as my birth year. Although the copy right does not print the year the T-shirt was produced, I feel strangely attached to a T-shirt with a print of the same year as my birth year.

The beauty of vintage T-shirts is that the possibility of wearing one with another is infinitesimally small. I always feel like I’m on a treasure hunt, digging for vintage T-shirts that fit my ideals and current mood. When I find a T-shirt that I like the print, the texture, and the size that fits my body shape perfectly, I feel the happiest feeling in the world.

Vintage T-shirts are appealing in that they have cheap prints and challenging graphics that would never be commercialized today. Also, as the saying goes, “Vans look cool after they get dirty.” I feel that vintage T-shirts that have lost some of their cotton fluff over time give the wearer a more polished look than brand new clothes. So I’m a sucker for a cozy old T-shirt with aggressive graphics. LOL!!!

I think it’s a good idea to start with “new T-shirts that look like old clothes”!

If you are not comfortable with secondhand T-shirts, you can try vintage-style T-shirts with a vintage finish. There are a variety of options available, including those inspired by vintage T-shirts, which are currently overpriced, and models that have a luxurious presence while still looking like vintage clothes by processing high-quality fabrics using the latest technology.

A brand that offers new T-shirts with a vintage look (2)BALENCIAGA

Balenciaga’s creative director is Demna Vasaria, who has experienced being a refugee forever after civil war broke out in her birthplace. The clothes inspired by Demna’s experience as a refugee are characterized by “oversized clothes that anyone can wear” and “damaged fabrics that look like they have been worn out. The design with a message that is different from the processed clothes of the vintage boom tickles men’s hearts. The fine touches, such as coarse pitch stitching and prints that look like vinyl tape pasted on the fabric, are also appealing points.
