Varsity Checkerboard Tee and Tie Dye Shorts Streetwear Outfit

TALISHKO styled outfit

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I wear the mesh jersey with something other than the tie dye shorts?

Yeah, the checkerboard pattern is bold enough to pair with plain black or denim shorts too if you want a calmer overall look. The tie dye shorts just balance it out since both pieces have a lot going on visually, so together they read as intentional rather than clashing.

Does the jersey run true to size, or should I size up for a looser fit?

Mesh jerseys like this one tend to have some drape already, so true to size gives you a clean fit while sizing up gets you that oversized streetwear look. If you're layering a tee underneath, it's worth going up one size for comfort.

How do I dress this look up a bit for going out versus just casual wear?

Swap the sneakers for a cleaner white pair and add a chain or cap to keep it casual, or throw a light jacket over the jersey if you want to dress it up slightly. The shorts and jersey combo is laid back by nature, so TALISHKO's cut here works best leaning into that rather than fighting it.

Any tips for washing the tie dye shorts so the color doesn't fade fast?

Wash them inside out in cold water and skip the dryer if you can, air drying helps tie dye and washed finishes hold their look longer. Separating them from other clothes for the first few washes is also a good habit just in case.
