Black and white prints have always been and will be in trend. Two classic colors fused into one to bring out interesting effects on t-shirts. The black and white contrast creates a spacious appeal. Such contrast also creates the most head Turner effects. Letters in white spacing or bold black colors are both effective when creating contrasting effects. This may not be a new trend, but we are going to see more of it in 2017 and 2018. What’s more? creating a black and white print is fast and far more cost-effective.

Not everybody likes vintage t-shirts, but those who do, they love it. It’s great to have a t-shirt that looks 20 years old both in appearance and print. Faded tees are in big demand nowadays and in the coming year, we will only get to see more of it. Go for softer shades which will make your tees look more genuinely vintage.

For the ones with a progressive bent of mind, this is the perfect t-shirt design and a haven for the minimalists. The t-shirts are usually kept in one or two colors with a simplistic design. No wonder we see more of these designs in the runways by famous designers. We believe this is soon going to hit the mainstream.

T-shirts printed with paintings have been around for quite some time, but now it's time for some abstract paintings. We believe it is also the time for some Renaissance art on t-shirts too. Patterned accents attract more attention to the t-shirts elements that are usually ignored. For examples abstract prints on the sleeves, pockets, neckline, hems etc.

This is yet another simplistic design T-shirts which are going to be in chic in coming days. Typographical prints with quotes and slogans symbolized rebellion and a strong attitude. We think these street style contemporary design will also hit the runways. The best part is these prints use up less ink and is less labor intensive, plus it brings out the character of the wearer.
