How I Started Styling My Travis Scott Shirt
Okay so I copped this wild Travis Scott shirt last month – you know, the one with the psychedelic astronaut print that screams “LOOK AT ME.” At first I just stared at it in my closet like an alien artifact. How do normal humans wear this without looking like a walking billboard?
Experiment #1: Casual Friday Fail
Grabbed my rattiest jeans thinking “streetwear vibes.” Threw on some beat-up AJ1s too. Took mirror pics and damn… I looked like a high schooler who raided his dad’s concert merch stash. The shirt completely drowned me. Lesson learned: oversized doesn’t mean swallowing your frame whole.
Back to the Drawing Board
Watched like 15 styling videos while eating cold pizza. Noticed two things everyone does right:
- Tucking at least PART of the shirt
- Letting one color pop elsewhere
Dug through my laundry basket for options.
Attempt #2: That Slick Half-Tuck
Chose black Dickies instead of jeans. Did the “front tuck only” thing with the shirt. Added silver chain my ex left here. Took pics leaning against my beat-up Corolla hood. Night and day difference! The chain echoed the shirt’s metallic ink and the half-tuck showed my belt loop. Flexed on Instagram with car pics – got way more likes than my cousin’s baby photos.
Unexpected Winner: Dad Vibes
Tried it as a joke with straight-fit khakis and new balances. Buttoned it ALL the way up like a nerd. My boys roasted me until we went bowling. But guess what? My buddy’s girlfriend said it looked “intentionally retro.” Proof that accessories change everything:
- Threw on vintage Casio watch
- Used thrifted brown leather belt
- Messy bun instead of cap
Posted bowling alley pics captioned “when your fit scores a strike” 🎳
What Actually Worked
After washing this shirt 6 times (don’t judge my laziness), here’s my real-deal findings:
- Black bottoms are cheat codes – lets the shirt’s chaos shine
- Chunky shoes > skinny fits – balances the oversized print
- Metal accessories mandatory – chain or watch pulls it together
Took mirror selfies in both winning combos – khakis look got 72% “fire” reacts in group chat. Not bad for a dude who wore pajamas til 4pm.
Final Thoughts
Thought I’d need mad designer pieces to rock this shirt. Nope. Just dug through my closet and embraced the chaos. Travis shirts scream personality – so stop overthinking it. My next experiment? Rocking it unbuttoned over a hoodie when winter hits. Maybe duct tape the hoodie tho… Arizona “winter” ain’t shit.
