Tips & Trends | Closet Confidential: The Band Tee

Nothing says “I’m with the band” like a brazen, logo embossed t-shirt. Whether they are thrifted vintage, or copped at the latest concert, band tees are the least basic closet essential. Whether you wear them ironically or to solidify your loyalty, band t-shirts give a little edge to a seemingly easy outfit. Tucked in or off the shoulder, these shirts are effortlessly cool.

Brandy Melville, land of the basic crop and home of the simple tee has a curated set of band tees. At an affordable price range (usually under $30), you’ll be sure to find the classic Metallica, Led Zepplin and Guns ‘n Roses collection.

Ultimate GirlBoss, Sophia Amaruso, started by selling vintage tees on e-bay, and she has kept her roots by continuing to do on her latest and biggest platform, Nastygal. Purveyor of cool girl novelties, you can score some major vintage finds like Motley Crue, Jane’s Addiction, and Police.

Urban Outfitters can do wrong when it comes to band tees. Both the men and women’s sections are generously stocked with Bowie, Petty, Grateful Dead, The Who, etc.… Whether you want something fitted, oversized, ripped, or faded, Urban Outfitters is your one stop shop.

For all you fashion It girls, this one’s for you. Stylestalker has collided fashion icons (think Lagerfeld, Wintour etc.) with punk aesthetic to create a haute twist on rocker chic. Sported by Kourtney Kardashian, Vanessa Hudgens and It girls alike, be sure to make an order soon because these sell out immediately.
