Colour options to enhance your personal style

One of the first things to consider when choosing a graphic sweatshirt is the colour. The colour of your sweatshirt can have a big impact on your overall look and style. If you're someone who likes to keep things simple and classic, then a black or white graphic sweatshirt might be the perfect choice for you. These colours are versatile and can be paired with almost anything in your wardrobe.

On the other hand, if you're someone who likes to make a bold statement with your clothing, then you might want to consider a graphic sweatshirt in a bright or bold colour. A pop of colour can add some excitement to your outfit and make you stand out in a crowd. If you're not sure which colour to choose, think about the colours that you already wear and feel comfortable in. You can also try experimenting with different hues to see what works best for you.

When it comes to colour, it's also important to consider the season and occasion. For example, if you're attending a holiday party at Christmas time, a sage or mineral coloured graphic sweatshirt might be a festive and fun choice. In the summer, a graphic sweatshirt in a pale pink or white marle shade can be a great way to stay cool while still looking stylish.

Understanding your personal style

Before you start shopping for a graphic sweatshirt, it's important to understand your personal style. Your personal style is a reflection of your personality, lifestyle, and the things that you value. Understanding your personal style can help you make better choices when it comes to clothing and accessories.

To determine your personal style, start by taking a look at your wardrobe. What are the pieces that you wear most often? What colours do you tend to gravitate towards? Do you prefer classic or trendy styles? Once you have a better understanding of your personal style, you can start to look for graphic sweatshirts that fit within that style.

For example, if your personal style is more classic and timeless, you might want to look for a graphic sweatshirt with a simple design and muted colours. If your personal style is more edgy and fashion-forward, you might want to look for a graphic sweatshirt with a bold design and bright colours. Understanding your personal style can help you narrow down your search and find a graphic sweatshirt that you'll love to wear.

Choosing the right fit and size

When it comes to clothing, fit and size are everything. A graphic sweatshirt that fits well can make you look and feel your best, while one that is too tight or too loose can be uncomfortable and unflattering. When choosing a graphic sweatshirt, it's important to consider the fit and size.

The first step in choosing the right fit and size is to take measurements from a sweatshirt you own that fits you perfectly. You can then cross-reference these measurements with our size style guide to find the appropriate size for you.

When it comes to fit, there are a few things to consider. If you prefer a more relaxed and comfortable fit, then you might want to choose a graphic sweatshirt that is slightly oversized. On the other hand, if you prefer a more fitted look, then you might want to choose a graphic sweatshirt that is more form-fitting.

Finding the perfect graphic art print

The design of your graphic sweatshirt is another important factor to consider. The design can be a reflection of your personality, interests, or even your mood. When looking for a graphic sweatshirt, it's important to choose a design that speaks to you and makes you feel good.

There are many different types of graphic designs to choose from. Some designs feature bold and colourful patterns, while others feature simple and understated graphics. Some designs feature typography quotes, while others feature beautiful NZ birds or minimal floral illustrations.

When choosing a graphic art print, it's important to consider the occasion and your personal style. If you're looking for a graphic sweatshirt to wear to a casual event or while running errands, then a more relaxed and playful design might be a good choice. If you're looking for a graphic sweatshirt to wear to a more formal event, then a more sophisticated and understated design might be a better choice.
