graphic tees & other casual wear

AmyM

Does anyone have a good source for graphic tees or other funky casual wear? I'm good on my sources for work and going-out wear, but I'm having such a hard time finding graphic tees that aren't made for teenagers. I want shirts with graphics, not with stupid sayings that no one over the age of 16 should wear (at least not out in public...I have my share of silly T's, but they're strictly for sleeping or the treadmill!)

Suggestions for online or Seattle-area shops would be great.

Some are more teenage-oriented, but most are good for all ages.

I am a die-hard Threadless Tee fan. My only current graphic tees are all from Threadless- and all were $5!

They have $5 sales a couple of times a year, and I stock up for the whole family. They always have stuff on sale, though, starting form about $9. There's a lot of designs, so you have to really look through them. Some are just dumb sayings, but there are some pretty interesting and original designs. I think the ones with more of an all over design look really interesting peeking out from a vest or jacket.

Express, Armani Exchange, H&M, J Crew also have a bunch at the moment.

I would try Uniqlo for graphic Ts designed by people in the fashion and music industries. I also second Urban Outfitters as Tanya said you have to be a little selective though.

Let us know how you get on.

Amy, I don't know if you're a thrift shopper or not, but the Goodwill on the Ave has a huuge selection of women's graphic tees.

Since I'm not 100 percent sure I can pull this look off, I'm going to find something there and play around with it.

Occasionally Target and Old Navy have some cool prints that aren't too teenagey.

Sweet! Thanks everyone. I am on the hunt. I always forget about Urban Outfitters for some reason. I like Target's selection, too, although it seems to take them forever to add new designs.

And etsy shops are sooooooooo dangerous. But oh so much fun! I'll probably be at etsy all afternoon now!

I like the J Crew graphic tees though I think they are completely overpriced and inconsistent quality. I usually buy them on sale. I bought a couple of graphic tees at ATL during their recent F&F sale and I LOVE this one:

Not exactly funky but it's so hard to find petite sized tees!

I forgot to add earlier, have you tried searching for ethical brand Edun. Interesting designs. I have couple which I purchased in a sale last year which I have worn to death and they still look new.
