Animal prints

Animal prints are a timeless trend that never seems to go out of style. Whether your kid loves cats, dogs, bears, or any other animal, there‘s lots adorable animal print t–shirts to chose from. This one from The Laughing Giraffe® is our favorite. It’s made from super soft ring spun cotton and the leopard print is unisex.

A great way to add some color and fun to an outfit is with a rainbow–themed graphic t–shirt. Our friends at Wicked Milk® has a variety of rainbow–themed t–shirts for kids and babies. All uniquely crafted by artists so they make money too! Win-win for everyone!

 

Retro designs

Retro designs are making a comeback in 2023. Both parents and kids that love the the look of the 80s and 90s will be all about these adorable prints. For millennial parents these are always a huge hit!

 

Nature–inspired designs

If your kid loves the outdoors, they‘ll love nature–inspired t–shirts. These t–shirts feature designs of trees, mountains, and more. They’re perfect for families that love camping, hiking and fishing.

 

Unicorn and sparkles

Unicorns and sparkles are always a hit with kids. We love these girly designs that feature vibrant colors and bright hues. Any little girl would love to sport these fun beautiful prints. 

 

Space and science themes

If your kid loves science and space, they‘ll love these t–shirts. Often they feature designs of planets, stars, and galaxies. We really love this take on space with a UFO abducting a cow. This original artwork is by Lane Huff sublimation printed onto The Laughing Giraffe®‘s soft polyester cotton blend tshirt.

 

Anime

Anime will never go out of style. Especially Sailor Moon, she’s a retro classic cartoon character everyone will love! This kid’s t-shirt trend category has grown in popularity since 2010’s and it won’t be going anywhere any time soon!

 

Tie–dye designs

Tie–dye is a fun and colorful trend that‘s perfect for 2023. This year the latest style is pigment dye that features more muted colors instead of bright tie dye colors. The downside of this trend is that it can bleed onto other fabrics when washing it. That’s why we’ve chosen this smoke pigment tie dyed shirt from Kids Blanks®. It’s printed so it never bleeds onto other fabrics and the color stays the same wash after wash.

 

Sporty designs

Showcase your child’s love of sports with t-shirts featuring basketball, football, skateboarding, etc. or team shirts. These are sure to be a hit and allow kids to make new friends showing off common hobbies and interests.

 

 

Cartoon characters

Cartoon characters are always popular with kids. Whether it’s the classics like Garfield, Looney Tunes or newer cartoons like Cocomelon and Kiboomers. These are perfect for kids and sure to bring a smile to their face.
