This week we found out that logo T-shirts have been holding us back. A study published by the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin has revealed that there's a negative correlation between big logo tees and sexual attraction. Yep, your Box Logo is the reason you're single. This is a PSA 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 like Our Legacy and Casablanca breathing new and sophisticated life into the category. In celebration of the graphic T-shirt’s glow-up, we’ve rounded up some of the best graphic tees available right now.
