How to Wear Your Accused AD Merch, From Show Night to Winter
Merch isn't just for the show. Your favourite Accused AD piece can work all year if you style it right. Here are a few easy ideas from the Accused AD Merch crew.
Show night: what should I wear?
Tee and black jeans. A softstyle tee is light enough for a packed, sweaty club and lets the art do the talking. Add boots you don't mind getting stepped on.
Two-sided for the crowd behind you. A design like Panic in the Casket has art on the back too, so the people behind you get the show as well.
After the show: how do I stay warm?
Throw a hoodie over it. A fleece hoodie keeps you warm on the walk home and still shows the full print. Go a size up if you like it loose.
Long sleeves for in-between nights. A long sleeve tee works when it's too warm for a hoodie but too cool for short sleeves.
Cold days: what layers work?
Crewneck over a collar. A crewneck sweatshirt over a plain shirt is an easy everyday look that still says splatter rock.
Jacket open. Wear a denim or leather jacket open over your tee or crewneck, so the art shows.
Black or white?
Every design comes on black and white. Bold, full-colour art like Knives or Maddest Stories stands out on both; pick the one you'll wear most.
How do I keep the print looking good?
Wash it inside out in cold water and skip the dryer when you can. The print stays bright for longer, and so does the garment.
Wear it loud
Whatever the season, your merch belongs out in the world, not in a drawer.
