Popular Characters for Kids' T-Shirts This Season
When boys go head over heels for a television, comic book, or movie character, they'll search for ways to put them everywhere. If they find a picture in a magazine, they'll cut it out and paste it in their notebook. If they come across an action figure or doll in a store, you may never hear the end of it until it's in their hands at home. And don't even start with clothes. Just look at two characters, El Diablo and Frankenstein, who are two of the most popular with little boys today - you'll find Diablo T-shits and Frankenstein T-shirts all over the place.
T-shirts are the perfect way for little boys to live out their fantasies as a tough guy - without having to get in a ring or wear a Halloween outfit off-season, they can still express their admiration and feel like the power the characters have is part of their own personality. An El Diablo t-shirt, for example, will inspire them with the kind of energy this famous wrestler brings to a match, even if he is just wearing it while doing chores around the house. Kids never get tired of their favorite tees either, and for parents, it's like getting two birds with one stone - a toy and a piece of clothing.
Don't know who El Diablo is? Well your little boy will. He is one of the most recognizable wrestlers in the world today. Part of the Lucha Libre, Mexican style of wrestling with its colorful masks and high-flying moves, El Diablo is an iconic figure that sports a red mask and is undeniably cool. The El Diablo T-shirt by Monster Republic captures the incredible physical feats this character has to complete, while also paying attention to the well-known style of graphic design that Lucha Libre posters are known for. Boys who wear this tee can imagine they are a part of this exclusive crew of athletes.
The character of Frankenstein is pretty recognizable for people of all ages. This well-known creature of early horror movies still captures the imagination of young boys everywhere. He scares every little boy at some point in his life, and when playing games is often the character to imagine when you need to hide and be quiet. The Frankenstein t-shirt by fashion guru and kids' clothing designer Christian Audigier may not scream 'sensitive', but it definitely says 'I'm not scared'. Boys who are now getting over their first fears will be proud to show the other kids in the playground how mature he is.
Young boys love characters on their clothes, because without even knowing it sometimes, they are making a statement about who they are. As they grow and learn more, they'll add to their wardrobe all of the characters they admire or conquer - Christian Audigier's T-shirts with Dr. Jekyll or the Creature from the Blue Lagoon are just a couple that will soon join Frankenstein. But then there are a host of T-shirts with characters that will remind them of fun and frivolity, like the Kaos Recycled White Big Boy T-Shirt.
Parents can appreciate how kids tee shirts can help shape a child's own character and attitude, beyond just looking cool. Audigier's Ed Hardy line of clothing is based on the famed tattoo artist's many designs, which can inspire a budding art lover. Your little boy's music tastes will be reflected in his Kaos Recycled Elvis Presley T-Shirt, or the Rowdy Sprout Jefferson Airplane longsleeve tee. Whatever direction he goes, it'll be exciting and inspiring to watch.
So what's your kid's favorite character? Pay attention to what he watches, buys, and says. Browse through all the t-shirts you can find and see if there's a match.
