The Foundation: Trash Taste Classic T-Shirt ($24.99)
The Trash Taste Classic T-Shirt is the backbone of any merch outfit. Made from 100% ring-spun cotton with a relaxed unisex fit, it's soft enough to wear all night. For a night out, avoid pairing it with sweatpants. Instead, try:
- Tucked into high-waisted trousers: A mom jean or tailored black pant lifts the tee instantly. Add a belt to define the waist.
- Layered under an open button-up: A flannel or denim jacket (think Joey's denim collection) adds texture. Leave the top button undone for a relaxed vibe.
- Knot at the waist: For a cropped effect, tie a knot on one side. Works great with a high-rise skirt or cargo pants.
> Connor once joked on Trash Taste episode #215 that he'd never wear merch to a club, but even he admitted the Classic T is comfortable enough for a long night. Take that as permission to style it up.
Polo Shirt: The Sleeper Hit ($34.99)
The Trash Taste Polo Shirt is the easiest way to dress up merch. Its collar and button placket make it acceptable at venues with dress codes. Pair with chinos or dark jeans, and you're set. For summer 2026, try rolling the sleeves once and wearing it untucked. Garnt mentioned in a recent stream that the polo's breathable fabric saved him during a humid live show in Osaka.
Hoodie Swaps: Premium Hoodie ($49.99)
If the night calls for something warm, the Trash Taste Premium Hoodie can work - but swap the sweatpants for slim-fit jeans or joggers with a taper. Wear it unzipped over a graphic tee from Trash Taste's t-shirt collection. The hoodie's cotton-poly blend holds its shape, so it doesn't look sloppy. Avoid pairing it with shorts unless you're going to a very casual house party.
Tank Top for Summer Nights ($19.99)
The Trash Taste Tank Top is perfect for hot July 2026 nights. Its sleeveless cut lets you show off arms. Wear it with a lightweight overshirt or a mesh jacket. Connor's go-to summer fit on stream often includes a tank under a Hawaiian shirt - recreate that look with the tank top and layer a kimono or floral button-up over it.
Footwear & Accessories
- Sneakers: Clean white sneakers (like Air Force 1s or Vans) keep it casual. Avoid chunky dad shoes unless you're going for irony.
- Jewelry: A simple chain or watch adds polish. Joey often wears a silver ring on his left hand - small touches matter.
- Bags: A crossbody bag or canvas tote beats a backpack. The official Trash Taste store occasionally drops accessories, but any neutral bag works.
Putting It Together: Two Outfit Formulas
1. Smart Casual: Trash Taste Polo Shirt tucked into olive chinos, brown leather belt, clean white sneakers, minimal watch.
2. Night Out Core: Trash Taste Classic T-Shirt (tied knot) with black cargo pants, a denim jacket (unbuttoned), and low-top sneakers. Add a silver chain for flair.
