Summer graphic tees for kids
Summer is when a graphic tee stops being one layer of an outfit and becomes the whole outfit. That changes what matters: breathability, a color that survives sunscreen, and a print that still looks right after two weeks of daily wear on vacation.
Sunscreen is harder on clothes than sand
Most sunscreens contain avobenzone or zinc, both of which can leave a yellowish stain on cotton, particularly on white. It is worth putting sunscreen on ten minutes before the tee goes over the head, and washing vacation clothes promptly rather than at the end of the trip.
Beach, surf and ice cream
The recurring summer motifs are surfboards, palms, ice cream and sea creatures. Mid-tone bases in sand, sky blue and faded coral hold up better than white against sunscreen and juice, and they photograph well, which for vacation clothes is not a trivial consideration.
Summer kids tees: common questions
Are these light enough for hot weather?
Yes. Mid-weight cotton breathes well and dries reasonably fast. It is cooler than any polyester blend at the same weight.
How do I get sunscreen stains out?
Treat cold and quickly. Sunscreen stains set with heat and time, so wash before the end of the vacation rather than after.
Will the colors fade in strong sun?
Sunlight fades cotton faster than washing does. Dry in shade where you can.
Do they work as a swim cover-up?
Over a swimsuit, yes, though cotton holds water and stays damp. It is a cover-up, not a rash guard.
What sizes are available?
Toddler 2T to 5T and youth S to XL.
