Asian Men Fashion: Graphic Tees

Many Asian men are known to have a unique sense of style that can immediately draw someone’s attention. Gone are the days where we can simply wear Abercrombie and Fitch or Hollister and be considered fashionable. Asian men are especially good at making graphic tees look sexy because of our face and body structure. Wearing a flashy design will make people notice you and it will separate you from the everyday person who wears the so-called “popular brands.” Here are five brands that you should be checking out listed from least expensive to most expensive.

Heritage1981
Heritage1981 is a company founded under the Forever 21 brand. They have AMAZING graphic tees at dirt cheap prices. People will think that you are wearing a $50 brand when your shirts actually only cost around $20. The best part is that not a lot of people know about this brand, therefore it is unlikely that someone has the same shirt as you. Since Heritage is owned by Forever 21, you’ll probably find a Heritage store wherever you have a Forever 21 (but not guaranteed). You may want to check out Heritage’s website to order, because they have much better selection online.

Express
Express is becoming incredibly popular these days amongst the younger crowds. They have a great selection of shirts; however, because they are so popular now, it isn’t uncommon to find people that will have the same shirt as you (especially for the extremely popular shirts). Express has expanded greatly in the past few years, which is why they are one of the top sellers of graphic tees. With tees at around $30 to $60 a pop, Express is still considered relatively cheap. You can find an Express at your local mall or online at Express.com.

Archaic
Archaic is one of those rare brands that not many people have ever heard of (they are produced by the same people that made Affliction). They are a small brand but they make incredible graphic tees. What really stands out about this brand is that their colors are chosen very well so they really stand out. Their shirts vary in price from around $30-$50 depending on whether a particular shirt is on sale. You can find Archaic clothing at Dillards, Buckle, and a few other websites. This is a pretty rare brand so be assured that almost no one will have the same shirt as you.

Xtreme Couture
This brand is very similar to Affliction (it is actually owned by Affliction), but since it’s a smaller, newer brand, it will definitely show off your individuality. The brand was originally made for MMA fighters so keep that in mind. Many of their designs are based off skulls, which I tend not to like; however, they do have quite a few very flashy designs that will make you stand out. The brand is fairly expensive at about $40-$50 per shirt. You can find them in many stores such as MetroPark as well as from their online store.

Roar
Roar is an interesting brand featuring intricate designs that will have people thinking “Wow, this guy looks fashionable.” Many of their designs feature “wings” on the back of the shirt which really sets them apart from the Affliction-esque graphic tee brands. I absolutely love Roar, it is one of my favorite brands, however, they are pretty damn expensive ($70 a shirt). Since Roar is so expensive, you can be assured that not very many people will have the same shirt as you. Click here to find where you can buy Roar clothing.
