How to Style Graphic Tees: 7 Looks That Actually Work

How to Style Streetwear Effortlessly | Streetwear Outfit Tips & Guide

The streetwear game has shifted. Thin, flimsy tees are out — and if you're still sleeping on heavyweight cotton, you're already behind. At FNDMNTLS®, every drop is built with intention, and our newest tees prove it.

From the Brick after Brick Heavyweight Graphic Tee (305GSM, 100% cotton) to the Ben Franklin Heavyweight Essential Tee (a full 9.0 oz/yd²), we engineer weight into every piece — not for the sake of it, but because premium fabric holds its shape, drapes better, and lasts longer than the fast-fashion alternative.

What is GSM and why does it matter?

GSM stands for grams per square meter — the standard measure of fabric weight. Most fast-fashion tees clock in at 140–180GSM. Our pieces start at 260GSM and go up to 305GSM. That's the difference between a tee that pills after three washes and one that becomes a wardrobe staple.

Shop the heavyweights:

• Brick after Brick Heavyweight Graphic Tee — 305GSM
• Apex Dominion Heavyweight Tee — 275GSM
• Ben Franklin Heavyweight Essential Tee — 260GSM

Built different. Worn different. That's FNDMNTLS®.
