You know what’s cheaper than therapy? A t-shirt that calls out your emotional state before you have to.And honestly? That’s the energy right now.
At Passive Threads, we’re watching more and more people ditch the boring basics and reach for tees that scream:✨ "Mentally checked out, but make it fashion."✨ "This is fine. I’m fine. Everything’s fine."✨ "Peak chaos. Still cute."
Welcome to the era of coping-core, where your fit is part fashion, part feelings.
Why We’re All Dressing Like This
Let’s get one thing straight: we’re not all walking around trying to be deep.But sometimes, the only way to survive a day full of Zoom calls, existential dread, and your mum asking about your life plan... is by throwing on a shirt that says “Fighting Demons, Vibing Anyway.”
It’s not just about looking good.It’s about being seen—for the chaos, the sarcasm, the burnout, and the lowkey brilliance that comes with just getting through it.
The Graphic Tee as a Mood Board
Here’s the tea:
Gen Z isn’t here for fake positivity.
Millennials are done pretending they’ve got it together.
Everyone’s oversharing—but now it’s stylish.
Funny t-shirts, mental health merch, oversized aesthetic streetwear—these aren’t just trends. They’re the new comfort zone. And people are choosing designs that reflect what’s actually going on in their head.
Like:
“This Is My Peak” – because it probably doesn’t get better than this.
“Coping Like It’s an Olympic Sport” – you deserve gold just for showing up.
“Be the Reason Someone Doesn’t Talk to You Today” – protect your peace, babe.
“Certified Premium Emotional Baggage” – because you’re high maintenance and worth it.
