From butter yellow to vintage washed black, Y2K revival and oversized everything – here are the 15 biggest graphic tee trends for 2025 according to Vogue, WGSN and real street style.
Spring/Summer 2025 is officially the season of the graphic tee. Runways, TikTok, Copenhagen Fashion Week and every cool kid from L.A. to Berlin agree: the humble T-shirt is the hero piece of the year. Here are the 15 trends that will dominate your wardrobe (and your feed) in 2025.
- Butter Yellow Everything Pantone’s 2025 Color of the Year contender is this soft, creamy yellow. Pair a butter-yellow vintage-washed tee with baggy indigo jeans for the ultimate off-duty look.
- Oversized Silhouettes (Even Bigger Than 2024) Drop shoulders, 280–300 GSM heavy cotton, length hitting mid-thigh. The bigger, the better.
- Vintage Washed Black & Charcoal Enzyme + stone wash until it looks 10 years old. Zero logos, just perfect fading.
- Y2K Revival Baby Tees Butterfly clips are back, so are cropped baby tees with glitter, rhinestones and low-rise fonts.
- Hand-Drawn Line Art One continuous line forming a face, flower or animal. Usually black ink on ecru or white.
- Micro Typography Tiny repeated slogans across the chest — almost looks like texture from far away.
- Retro Sports & College Graphics Varsity letters, 90s NBA logos, fictional university crests in distressed print.
- Nature Escapism Mountain ranges, forests, waves — all in earthy tones with slight vintage wash.
- Mismatched Sleeve Prints Left sleeve one graphic, right sleeve another. Chaos in the best way.
- Photographic Realism Hyper-real printed photos (sunsets, old film shots, polaroids) covering the entire front.
- Peach Fuzz & Coral Comeback Soft peach and living coral bases with contrasting white or black prints.
- Matching Couple & Friend Sets His-and-hers, bestie sets, pizza slice duos — but in premium organic cotton this time.
- Bold Maximalist Collages 90s-inspired chaotic collages mixing cartoons, text, and random objects.
- Minimal Japanese-Inspired Graphics Tiny red sun, simple kanji, or single koi fish on oversized white tees.
- Butter-Washed Neutrals New washing technique that gives a sun-faded, creamy finish to beige, sand and off-white tees.
