Summer Wardrobe Essentials

T-Shirts

• Black and White Tees: Essential for layering and styling. The presenter recommends Goodfellow tees from Target (around $12-$15) for their fit and versatility. He also suggests Uniqlo U Airism tees ($30-$40) as a slightly pricier option.
  • Example: Goodfellow tees can be worn to the gym or styled up and down with different outfits.
• Graphic Tees: The presenter has been buying graphic tees from H&M due to their affordability (around $12-$20). He also suggests thrifting or using Depop.
  • Examples: Nirvana tee, Hidden Force Skull graphic tee (brand), Metallica tee, Nine Inch Nails tee (all from H&M).
  • Argument: While H&M is fast fashion, the presenter believes their graphic tees age well after washing and wearing, making them a good affordable option.
