Best timeless vintage-inspired logo T-shirts

By Naomi May

4 years ago

Whether you rock with jeans, skirts or dresses, these T-shirts will stand the test of time.

There’s no wardrobe staple quite as hard-working as a T-shirt. Whether you wear yours shrunken or oversized, coloured or neutral, these simple, short-sleeved tops form the backbone of even the most outré of wardrobes.

But there’s a new style of tee that’s elbowing its way back onto the fashion menu and we’ve seen it before. Move over plain white tees, and make room for the logo tee, which brands have seriously thrown their weight behind for this summer. The best part of their revival is that beauty is in the eye of the tee’s beholder; these are T-shirts that come in a slew of different colours and patterns with a series of retro-inspired logos and tongue-in-cheek references. They’re fun, fashion-forward and, frankly, genius. 

Keep yours under an oversized blazer to nail that smart-casual dress code, or throw on over a feminine floaty dress to tone it down a touch. Wear it right and a logo T-shirt will not only stand the test of time but will also be the most hard-working member of your wardrobe. These are our favourites to shop now.
