t-shirt design trends for 2023 the banyan tee

1. Strong Statements šŸ’ŖšŸ»

This design trend is all about taking a stand and saying what you mean, and thatā€™s definitely the energy we all need in 2023.Ā 

  • End Gun Violence
  • Stand With Ukraine
  • Girls Just Want To Have Fundamental Rights
  • Not Your Bun

There are so many causes to choose from when deciding what statement to focus on for your design. What are you the most passionate about? Simplify your statement as much as you can in order to be as clear and direct as possible.

2. Wavy Wording šŸ” 

How fun is this design trend?! Itā€™s giving playful, feel-good vibes and we areĀ here for it!Ā Adding a wave effect to your text can also give your design aĀ retro, 1960s aesthetic, and weā€™re here for that, too!Ā 

This look works best with mostly thick, bold text designs, with maybe a few small illustrated icons here and there for decoration. What wavy wording designs willĀ youĀ create this year?

3. Mental Health Mantras šŸ˜Œ

We really hope this design trend is here to stay. Weā€™re huge fans of the messages of self-care, acceptance, and empathy.

These designs are usually text-driven and focus on one specific mental health mantra-like You Are Loved. Feel free to include an illustration in your design if it helps to convey your message.

4. Hobby Highlights āš”ļø

From thrifting to knitting, to outdoor sports, these designs are helping to spread joy and bring people together through common interests.Ā 

This trend is definitely up for creative interpretation, so be sure to have fun with it! Will your design be illustration, graphics, or text only? Or will your design include a combination of styles? Itā€™s totally up to you!Ā 


5. Imaginative Illustrations āœšŸ»

This trend is taking t-shirt imagery to a whole new level.Ā 

Creating your design around eye-catching imagery is a great way to ensure it will stand out in a crowd. When people see the shirt, the image will be what pulls them in first, and then they will notice any words, logos, or brand names that youā€™ve included along with it.Ā 

6. Bold Back Prints šŸ–Øļø

Letā€™s reclaim the BACK of our merch this year with bold back prints!Ā  Since you donā€™t have to worry about your design overpowering the front of your garment, feel free to print your design as large as you want on the back.Ā 

Think big ā€“ big text and big imagery, and think bold ā€“ bold colors and bold statements.Ā 

7. Pet-Centred Designs šŸ¶šŸ±

This is by far the cutest t-shirt design trend weā€™ve seen this year. Please keep theĀ pet designsĀ coming because we donā€™t think weā€™ll ever get tired of seeing them!Ā 

The drawings weā€™ve been seeing for this trend range from simple line drawings to incredibly detailed pet portraits, and we love them all! Have you wanted to include your pet in your designs? Now is your chance!Ā 

8. Conservation-Centred Designs šŸŒŽ

ļ»æWeā€™ve been seeing a steady increase in these designsĀ as folks pay closer attention to our planetā€™s needs. These designs arenā€™t limited to one specific type of conservation, but rather cover them all ā€“ fromĀ environmentalĀ toĀ wildlife, toĀ marine, etc.

So go ahead, let your t-shirt do the talking in 2023. With so many fun and unique styles to choose from, you're sure to find a tee that perfectly captures your personality and style. šŸ˜±
