Sick of the cold weather? You’re not alone. It is hard to not look forward to spring, with the sun shining and flowers blooming everywhere. When warm weather arrives you can finally put away your big coats, thick knits, and scarves and replace them with your favorite shirts, tanks, and shorts.
It’s never too early to chase away your winter blues with some retail therapy and start planning your spring outfits. Graphic tees are always a hit, and Peach Marketplace has the cutest spring designs. Whether you’ve already picked up one (or a few) of our tees, we’ve got a few ideas of how you can style them into the perfect spring outfits.
You can easily mix and match between these styles to find the perfect look.
Tuck it into a Skirt
Pick out a cute denim skirt and tuck your spring tee in for a casual and comfy look. Add some sneakers or sandals to complete the look.
Wear it under a Blazer
Emanate sophistication by layering your graphic tee under a blazer. Go with black jeans and a pale pink blazer over our Bubble Gum Bunny design. A black blazer with regular dark denim and black heels is another chic option.
Knot it over a Dress
Choose one of your favorite slim-lined dresses and throw your shirt over it. Add a knot in the front or corner of the shirt to create a cute, unique look.
Oversize it
Try getting one of our tees a couple of sizes larger than you normally wear. You can wear it off a shoulder, tuck it into some jeans, or wear it baggy over some shorts. No matter what you choose, wearing an oversize shirt is all the rage right now.
Go for a Classic Look
Pick out your favorite pair of shorts and sandals for a casual day out. Don’t forget to grab a cute bag and some sunglasses to complete the look.
Dress it Up
Colorful maxi skirts pair with graphic tees perfectly. Tuck in your tee or tie it in a knot to emphasize the contrasting colors. Grab your clutch and throw on your heels to get a classy look suitable for those times when you want to look a little nicer.
Make it Laidback
There’s nothing more comfortable than a soft tee and joggers. Whether you’re planning to run to the grocery store or just lounge at home, you can be comfy and look good too. Throw on some Converse or Vans if you need to leave the house.
Be Brave
Custom tees give you the opportunity to step outside your comfort zone because they pair well with almost anything. Throw on some leopard print to match our Bunny with Leopard Glasses. Whether you choose a skirt, sweater, or accessories in this print, you can really liven up the outfit.
Go Casual Chic
You can’t go wrong adding a cute pencil skirt and booties to any of our spring designs. You can choose a pastel color to match your shirt or contrast it with something dark. Black or tan booties will round out the look.
Wear it with Flannel
Flannel shirts come in all colors, including some cute pastels that would compliment your tee nicely. Wear it open and throw on some ripped or distressed jeans on the bottom.

]]>Ever wonder how your favorite custom t-shirt was made? While there are a few different ways to make a custom shirt, from heat transfers to digital printing, screen printing is one of the most popular methods. If your shirt has vibrant colors and the design feels extra soft, chances are it was screen printed!
So, what exactly is screen printing and how does it work? Let’s take a look.
Screen printing is a popular method used to create custom clothing, artwork, canvasses, posters, and more. It’s also referred to as silk-screen printing or serigraphy. This method presses thick inks through a mesh screen onto the top of a t-shirt, rather than soaking into it, to create the printed design.
The thick ink offers a brighter pop of color, and the process leaves the design feeling soft, giving the shirt a fantastic look and feel. However, everything is done manually, so it takes some skill to perform. At Peach Marketplace, we have the skill, experience, and specialized equipment necessary to create high-quality screen-printed designs.
So, how do we do it?
There are many steps necessary to complete the screen printing process. Each one takes time and effort, which means that screen printing isn’t as quick and easy as other methods used to create custom t-shirts. Let’s take a look at each step.
First, we have to come up with an amazing design. This may seem like the easy part, but the higher the quality of the artwork, the higher the quality of the printed design, so it’s crucial that artists take their time to get the design just right.
Also, colors need to be completely separated, since each screen can only handle one color. For multi colored designs we will use multiple screens during the printing process.
Once you have your design, you need to transfer it to the screen. The screen is a high-quality mesh screen with tiny holes that allow the ink to pass through to the shirt.
To get the design onto the shirt, the mesh screen is coated with emulsion in a dark room. Then the acetate sheet with the design is placed onto the screen and exposed to bright light. This light hardens the emulsion, but any parts with the design stay soft and liquid. This portion is rinsed off and leaves the mesh open for the ink to pass through when pressed.
The screen is then placed onto the printing press. If the design uses more than one color, a separate screen will be made for each color, and each screen will be aligned by hand during the printing process.
One of the main reasons that people love screen printing is because of the bright, vibrant colors. To get these colors, special inks are mixed together to create the exact colors required for the design. At Peach Marketplace, we use the highest quality inks, which really help make the design stand out.
The screen printing press is the tool used to transfer the design to the t-shirt. This press has a bass that holds the printing platens and has color arms. The color arms hold the screens that have been created for the design, and the t-shirt is stretched over a flat device.
Lasers align the shirt to make sure the design will be in the desired position. Then, the screens are lowered onto the shirt. Once in place, the ink is poured over it. With a rubber squeegee, the ink is quickly moved from one end of the screen to the other to push it through to the shirt creating the design.
If the design has more than one color, the entire pressing process is repeated for each color. Now, the t-shirt has a custom design!
Once the ink is applied, the shirt is moved to the dryer. This is a conveyor belt-style device that runs the shirt under the exact temperature needed to instantly dry the ink in one pass. The design is now permanently set onto the t-shirt. Each shirt is inspected to ensure that the design is perfect.
The final product is a custom, screen-printed t-shirt. Even though you can feel the ink raised, it is actually soaked into the fabric of the shirt and a part of it as a result of the screen printing process. Not only does this create a design that looks and feels amazing, but it also holds up better than other custom t-shirt methods. Unlike heat transfers that will crack and fade over time, screen printed designs hold true.
Peach Marketplace is a t-shirt screen printing company based out of Georgia. We use the highest quality inks and supplies to create long-lasting, vibrant custom t-shirt designs.
