Why the Mellow Yellow Tee is a Wardrobe Staple
The tokidoki Mellow Yellow Tee brings a pop of sunny color to your everyday wardrobe. Made from 100% cotton jersey, this basic tee features a small graphic on the front and a large Banana Peels Unicorno graphic on the back, with "Banana" written in Japanese. Its relaxed fit makes it easy to dress up or down for casual outings, errands, or lounging at home.
Because the tee is a true basic fit, it layers well under jackets, cardigans, or open shirts. The yellow shade pairs nicely with neutral bottoms like denim, khaki, or black, and it also works with bolder colors for a playful contrast.
Fit and Sizing Tips
The model shown is 5'7" and wearing a size Small, which gives a relaxed but not oversized look. The tee is available in sizes up to XXXL, so you can choose a closer fit or a roomier silhouette depending on your preference. If you like a more fitted appearance, stick with your usual size. For an intentionally loose, slouchy look, consider sizing up one or two sizes.
The 100% cotton jersey fabric has minimal stretch, so the fit you choose at purchase will stay consistent. Cotton jersey also breathes well, making this tee comfortable for all-day wear in mild to warm weather.
Everyday Styling Ideas
For a classic casual look, pair the Mellow Yellow Tee with your favorite blue jeans and sneakers. The yellow and blue combination is naturally complementary and keeps the outfit fresh. Add a denim jacket or a neutral cardigan when the temperature drops.
If you prefer a more relaxed vibe, wear it with black joggers or wide-leg trousers and slip-on shoes. The large back graphic adds interest when you turn around, so it works well with a simple front and back silhouette.
For a layered look, throw an unbuttoned flannel or a lightweight bomber jacket over the tee. The cotton fabric holds its shape under outerwear without adding bulk, and the yellow peeking through adds a cheerful accent.

Care Tips to Keep the Tee Looking Fresh
Because the Mellow Yellow Tee is 100% cotton, washing in cold water and drying on low heat will help preserve the graphic print and prevent shrinkage. Turn the tee inside out before washing to protect the screen-printed design. Avoid bleach and high heat, which can fade the yellow color and damage the print.
If you need to iron, do so on the reverse side or use a pressing cloth to avoid direct contact with the graphic. Store folded rather than hung to prevent stretching the neckline over time.
