Racer-Inspired Pastel Checker Tees

This New X-Girl Shirt is an Exclusive Summer Release

X-Girl, a female-centered streetwear brand that was founded back in 1994, recently updated its selection of offerings with a pastel tee that has vivid contrasting graphics.

Inspired by car racing, the shirt has a checkered design that's a combination of pastel pink and stark white -- making for a unique look that catches the eye, but that also isn't too overwhelming either. To bring a little more contrast to the design, X-Girl features its name is a bright blue box logo at the center of the tee as well.

To maintain the simple aesthetic, X-Girl leaves the back of the tee blank, with only its pastel checkered design covering the 100% cotton fabric that comprises the shirt.
