T-shirt Style Trends to Follow in 2018

As we move out of January and head towards February I can almost start to feel a slight air of excitement as spring and then summer is on its way. I am very much a summer girl, when we can let go of all the layers and embrace t-shirts and shirts as they are meant to be worn instead hidden under winter jackets. Already we are starting to see a few trends filter through as stores are slowly gearing up to changing their winter stock to summer styles. I thought I would share a few trends I predict are going to be very popular this year.

Let’s read on further, in order to learn more about new designs.

Ethical Tees

Isn't great supporting a label that gives a little back whether it be through a fair-trade initiative or supports a certain charity there are loads around at the moment. I am a big fan of People Tree, a sustainable clothing company that believes in cutting the middle man out and supporting directly the people who manufacture their clothing by nurturing them and investing in them. There are lots of small homegrown companies that have been set up by mothers and give back to charity.

Pop Culture is a Come Back

We have always been inspired by Hollywood movies and pop culture. A decade ago, there were shirts inspired by pop music. In the next 12 months, we are going to see Hollywood characters, quotes and scenes from upcoming movies on the shirts as well as rehashed classic pop art prints from well know artists such as Andy Warhol.

Shout Out to Girl Power

We are living in age when girls are not less than any man. Women stood up for their rights, and now we will see #girlpowerand fashion slogans on their shirts too. you can say this is one of the great ways to acknowledge women’s strength. Along with these, inspirational quotations are much likely to rule this year. I love F Equals collection as seen below and they also have an ongoing partnership with Worldreader, a global non-profit organisation on a mission to deliver books to every child and their family, so girl power at it's finest.

Polka Dots and Stripes

Both the Polka Dot print and Striped t-shirts and shirts have seen a rise in popularity over the years and there doesn't seem to be a decline in sight. The great thing about these two options as that they are both so versatile and work well in both a casual and a more dressed up outfit.

Ruffle Tops

While I was first very unsure of this look I have certainly warmed up to it and it's nice to see a different design feature come into the normal t-shirt and shirt looks. When it comes to the ruffle sleeve just make sure you do it right, keep things simple and avoid anything to clashing and it will work well.

You must be feeling excited and cannot wait for the summers and prepare to hit the stores. Be patient, and let’s wait what else is out there for summer shopping.
