Never Underestimate the Power of Graphic T-Shirts
Three years ago, a study published by the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin revealed that there's a negative correlation between big logo tees and sexual attraction. Yep, your Box Logo is the reason you're single. For anyone who needs to hear it: graphic tees are not the same. If anything, this is a Highsnobiety study into the fact that graphic T-shirts make you more sexually attractive.
The graphic T-shirt has come a long way in the past couple of years, growing out of its teenage box to become a fully-fledged, grown-up style piece with the help of labels breathing new and sophisticated life into the category.
Around and about this time last year, Hailey Bieber shut some mouths about her obvious rise to fame. She wore a cropped white tee with the “nepo baby” slogan across the chest, referencing the viral article that exposed half of Hollywood — unsurprisingly — as the children of famous people. It was a big statement and one that showed the power of a good graphic tee to add impact to your outfit.
In light of our renewed appreciation of the power of graphic T-shirts, we’ve rounded up some of the best graphic t-shirts available right now.

Logo Graphic T-Shirts
Sportswear brands started printing their logos on t-shirts in the ‘80s, and it didn’t take long for fashion houses to adopt the trend. In today's scene, some like Gucci have gained significant recognition with their revolutionary Gucci vintage logo T-shirt presented in their Cruise collection back in 2017. Nowadays, our post-Logomania society has left us with a lot of choices as to which label we want to represent.
Music Graphic T-Shirts
There’s nothing like a great vintage band tee, and nowadays, the best ones are fetching wild four and five-figure price tags. Logos like those of The Rolling Stones, Nirvana, or AC/DC epitomize the style, becoming so popular that they’re now woven into the fabric of graphic tees.
Pop Culture T-Shirts
Film, ironically company-branded, or otherwise culturally referential graphic tees are surely a fun retro-looking addition to our closet. Choose wisely, though, as the print on your chest can say more than a thousand words.
Sports Graphic T-shirts
As mentioned earlier, sportswear brands are one of the graphic tee originators, so adding some classic styles to your rotation can be a fun task. Here, Nike and New Balance keep it interesting with eye-catching motifs or playful nods to their own past, respectively.
