You can’t go wrong with a good old band tee.
The style is versatile, pairing well with other basics in your wardrobe, and extremely comfortable. They truly make you look instantly put together, no matter the circumstances. The only issue? Band tees, especially the vintage kind, can run prospective buyers $50 up to $300. We’ve even seen ultrarare styles repping bands from the ’90s grunge era, a la Alice in Chains and Nirvana, or classic rock bands like Pink Floyd and Metallica, go for up to $2,500 on resale sites like eBay.
Thankfully, we’ve got stores like Abercrombie & Fitch that sell vintage-inspired band tees at affordable prices, letting music fans express themselves without spending a fortune. The retailer is currently running a sale on almost all merchandise on their site, that’s 15% off, up to 20% off when you add three things to your cart. You’ll want to act fast, though. This sale ends April 27. The sale includes the brand’s extensive collection of band tees featuring artists like Selena Gomez, Nirvana and Red Hot Chili Peppers, among others. Each tee is 100% cotton, making these shirts breathable and lightweight. Sizing is available from XS up to XXL, with specialty sizing available for taller folks.
Some of our favorites include the retailer’s Nirvana tee in a pastel pink hue. The tee is currently available for $22.95, down from $45. Since the tee was already on sale, you’re getting this piece for 49% off. The pastel pink piece features a heart-shaped graphic with flowers blooming all around, in reference to the band’s 1993 track “Heart-Shaped Box” off the album In Utero. The single peaked at No. 1 on Billboard‘s Alternative Airplay chart for three weeks. The color is a unique one, and one we’d be willing to bet you don’t have in your closet already. For that reason alone, we’d urge you to pick this piece up, Nirvana fan or not.
Another ShopBillboard favorite is Abercrombie & Fitch’s Hole tee, currently on sale for $38.25. The tee is black with a subtle heart-shaped hole graphic on the front and a more maximalist blue and pink graphic on the back centered around a gray motif of a little girl. The girl looks similar to the one featured on the cover of the band’s song “Violet” from off their 1994 album Live Through This. We’d pair this tee with a flowy maxi skirt or barrel jeans for a casual trip to the grocery store or matcha run. For hotter days, swap out those barrel jeans for jorts and checkered Vans to lean into that grungy Hole-approved aesthetic.
