Smiley Face T-Shirts

A smiley face t-shirt only works if the shirt itself is good. Ours start with 100% ring-spun cotton at a mid-weight 4.5 oz — heavy enough that it isn't see-through, light enough to wear in August — with shoulder-to-shoulder taping so the neck doesn't stretch out after a month, and a quarter-turned body that won't develop a crease down the middle.

The smiley prints across the back rather than the chest. It reads better that way, and it means the reminder is aimed at whoever is behind you as much as at you.

Sixteen colorways, sizes S through 3XL. Black, Navy, Sport Grey and Dark Heather if you want it understated. Heliconia, Daisy, Orange and Irish Green if you don't. Whichever you pick, it softens with every wash instead of falling apart.
