Exploring Custom Kids' T-Shirt Designs

Explore various trending custom t-shirt designs for kids and gain some order inspiration.

As the custom apparel horizon evolves, so do the trends that shape our little one's wardrobes. 

The world of custom kids' t-shirt designs is set to take a whimsical turn, bringing forth a delightful array of styles and colors. 

We’ve been in the custom apparel printing business since 2009, printing custom t-shirts for people of all ages and sizes, but we must admit- custom kids’ tees are always fun to see come down the production line.

Whether you own a children’s clothing store, are in charge of ordering matching tees for a sports team or dance studio, or work for an elementary school, let's explore some of the most popular kids’ tee trends and discover practical tips on seamlessly incorporating these styles into your next custom t-shirt order.

Ready for some custom apparel design inspo? 

Animal Print

Roaring into the scene, animal prints from leopard spots to zebra stripes are a must-try trend for fashion-forward kids. 

OR even consider designing a cute cartoon-style animal to dawn the tees; the world is your oyster. 

Technically, you could design a tee with an oyster if you know kids with a knack for seafood…. It seems unlikely, BUT never say never.

Mix animal prints with bold colors for a standout look or classic black and white for a chic ensemble. Did somebody say, wild child? 

Floral Print

The perennial favorite, floral prints, has made a vibrant comeback, offering intricate designs that effortlessly elevate a child’s look. 

Pair floral print tees with jeans or shorts for a trendy and put-together appearance. Aspen + Company does florals well if you want some design inspo!

Tie Dye

Tie-dye continues to captivate fashion lovers, offering bold and subtle options for unique and personalized looks. 

You can choose something like a pastel color dye for the shirts and have something screen printed over it- have fun with it! Kids love color; embrace that.

Embrace the versatility of tie-dye by choosing swirly rainbow effects or calming pastel gradients.

Graphic Tees

The classic graphic tee is staging a strong comeback, providing a perfect canvas for expressing your child's personality. 

Think of including fun characters or taking a spin at creating fun sayings and cool designs.

Neon Colors

Neon colors shine brighter than ever, offering a fantastic way to make a bold fashion statement.

Inject brightness into your child's wardrobe with a pop of neon on collars or sleeves with custom hem tags. Or heck, even the whole dang shirt! The brighter, the better, right?
