It wouldn't be Stray Kids' touring season without a grunge-inspired outfit from Hyunjin. After giving culottes a punk spin while on the road last year, the star is back at it again for the band's <dominATE> tour, this time bringing back band tees to the forefront.
During the European leg of the tour, Hyunjin took to his Instagram to give fans a peek at his growing collection of band tees, making a case for the trend on his main Instagram feed. First, Hyunjin posted a selfie from his time in Amsterdam wearing a Beatles shirt.
The star posed rocking a white shirt featuring short red sleeves à la vintage baseball tops, with a black-and-white graphic motif of the legendary British group in the center and blind-stitch hems. Hyunjin's pick appears to be Madeworn, a 100% cotton option made in the USA, cut to have a distressed look.
Madeworn treats its shirts by hand in Los Angeles, so it seems the star might have picked it up during their recent stop there. Hyunjin paired the look with Versace loafers, black pants, and a newsboy cap, a trend that Stray Kids members Han and Seungmin had also previously cosigned.

The second band tee that Hyunjin has shown off while on the road is by Radiohead and it features the British rock band's bearhead crest in white over a black cotton tee. (Unlike his Madeworn shirt, which sells for over $150, you can find this Radiohead option secondhand for under $30.)
Hyunjin wore the shirt during one of the London stops of the tour and posted it to Instagram while doing a dance challenge with fellow Stray Kids member Bang Chan.

Although band tees as a trend have never truly gone away, over the last few years, we have seen a resurgence in graphic tees, with younger celebrities leading the charge of the grunge renaissance, and of course, Hyunjin would be no exception. NMIXX's Lily, Hyunjin's fellow JYP Entertainment idol, told Teen Vogue last year that she has also been working on expanding her collection of band tees, adding AC/DC, the Beatles, Nirvana, and the Rolling Stones into her mix.
Whether you go the vintage route or buy directly from the artists, it's time to take a page from Hyunjin's book and wear your favorite acts on your sleeve this summer.
