It’s unsurprising that singer-songwriter Benee has an excellent selection of tees to choose from – she’s an intentional dresser who uses fashion as a source of expression. This one is superbly silly.
It’s a serene print for this T-shirt from The Beths. If you’re up for something poppier (and a little more Auckland), the indie rock group also has a bright yellow referencing a bungee jump off the Harbour Bridge.
