Sesame Street x XLarge Collection Brings the Whimsical Characters to Fashion

The beloved characters from one of the most popular children's television series are getting their very own t-shirt line with the Sesame Street x XLarge Collection.

This is not the first time that the playful characters have been featured on designer labels, but it's always nice to see them appearing on new apparel designs. The Sesame Street x XLarge Collection is a series that features two of Sesame Street's most popular characters printed on the tees. One boasts Big Bird carrying a boombox and the other showcases the adorable Elmo with a big smile. Both shirts are available in a variety of bright colorways.

Elmo and Big Bird are already here, so it will be interesting to see if this collaboration brings in other characters.
