Trending Summer Color Palette
Summer 2025 has the perfect amount of warmth and softness. The summer tee shirt colours of this season are like sunshine on your skin, ice-cold beverages by the pool and lazy weekends.
These summer t-shirt colours blend neutrals with brights to create a palette that is flattering to all skin tones. They also add a fresh twist to your everyday wardrobe.
Think balance when choosing a t-shirt colour. Soft yet bold, familiar but fresh.
1. White and off-white
The classic white T-shirt has timeless appeal. White and off-white T-shirts offer refreshing simplicity and are versatile. They match today’s colours and complement any graphic design.
Soft off-white shades add warmth to casual looks and give them a retro feel.
White is a common option for most of our custom-made tee shirts. However, you should also consider the fabric composition, style, and weight of the shirt.
Our Relaxed T-Shirt is a bestseller. The fabric is made from lightweight cotton ring-spun, which has excellent breathability and durability.
This is the one for you if you want maximum comfort. The Oversized Faded T-Shirt is soft, off-white, and pays homage to the vintage aesthetic currently sweeping fashion.
2. Cherry red
This summer, cherry red is everywhere. It’s not just a passing fashion trend. This vibrant shade will light up 2025 in style, with confidence and bold expression, on the runways and streetwear.
Contrary to the dark burgundy shades of previous seasons, cherry red is vibrant and unapologetic. Red t-shirts with high contrast instantly make designs pop.
This colour looks great with neutrals such as white, off-white and light grey. It also works well when paired with contrasting colours. Imagine a navy button-down shirt under a red tee or a red shirt paired with a light blue or green top for a daring look.
Cherry red and Heather are classic pairs that can be worn anywhere, anytime.
The Unisex Staple t-shirt is one of the most popular products in our collection. It’s made of lightweight fabric with a touch of stretch to ensure a perfect fit. The price is also very affordable, and the colour options are vibrant red. This is a must-have for any fashion wardrobe.

5. Powder pink
Pink has become a soft-girl colour, from Barbie to Glinda. Last summer’s Barbie obsession brought neon pink to the forefront, but by 2025, powder pink will be taking over with a more subtle magic. Think shimmering gowns and cotton candy skies.
Powder pink suits all skin tones and is a great choice for children’s clothing. It’s a fresh, fairytale-inspired palette.
We recommend the Ribbed Neck Tee Shirt for soft pink shades. The cotton pink shade perfectly matches with the smooth, mellow and naturally sublime combination of red and white.
6. Soft green
