These flashy shirts from design Astrid Andersen are amazingly ostentatious . Don’t let the over-the-top bling put you off. There is never a bad time to show your swag. One compliment you can’t give this denim doozy is that it is ‘subtle.’

The oversized Astrid Andersen shirt is made of black denim. On one side of the shirt is a [blinged-out print](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asap-rocky-1) of an assortment of [gold and silver jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pav-nite) with some violet flowers mixed throughout. The jewelry consists of [rings in various sizes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bandana-royale) with different kinds of jewels in them. On the other side of the shirt is the number 21 and some violets underneath. The jewel print continues on the collar, the back of the shirt and the opposite arm.

This top would look great with some black pants and a black baseball cap.
