BRITISH T-SHIRT & HOODIE DESIGN INSPIRATION

APRIL 13, 2022



If you’re a fan of British culture, you might be looking for unique and original
ideas to create your own designs for t-shirts, hoodies or other clothing. Once
you have the inspiration, you can get started on your design, and make use of a
t-shirt screen printing company to bring your design to life. Alternatively, you
can use DTF transfers to apply your designs to almost any cotton or polyester
garment, making them ideal for use on jackets, trousers, skirts, and more! If
you’re feeling especially creative, why not apply them to your home furnishings
such as cushions or curtains.


BRITISH THEMES

If you’re looking for traditional British themes for your design, why not use
one of the following:

 * Union Jack
 * British Bulldog
 * London Skyline
 * Dragons
 * Crowns
 * The Queen
 * British bands such as the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, or Queen. As an
   animated band, Gorillaz are also an excellent choice
 * Regional mottos such as Cockney rhyming slang




If you’re looking for something a bit more ‘out there’ and creative, you might
also consider the following:


VENN DIAGRAM

The Venn diagram was invented by a British philosopher called John Venn. He
wanted to show the logical and mathematical relationship between a group of
things. The simplest form of a Venn diagram is two closed and intersecting
curves, but any number of curves can be interweaved to make a Venn diagram. The
most common form of the Venn diagram is three found on Gonville dining hall
window Cambridge to commemorate John Venn. The rich history and educational
background make the diagram suitable for t-shirts and hoodies.


CUSTODIAN HELMET

This is the helmet that was worn by police officers in the United Kingdom. The
design of this helmet was inspired by Pickelhauble helmet that was worn by the
military. This gives the custodian helmet a perception of military might. Many
countries such as Australia, Canada, and New Zealand have followed the model of
the custodian helmet. Hence the image is very influential and fit for t-shirts
and hoodies.


THE PHOENIX

This is an immortal and mythological bird that is believed to be consumed by
fire every five hundred years, and then it is born again. It has been used to
symbolize resurrection, eternal life, and endurance. It is also believed that
only one phoenix can live at a time. In that case, it has been used to symbolize
Queen Elizabeth who is perceived as unique and ruled the longest in the history
of the British monarchy.


THE ERMINE

The Ermine is a small creature that became very popular in Europe because of its
habits. The small mammal hated soiling its fur, so hunters would smear the
entrance of its lair with dirt, then start the hunt. When Ermine ran for safety
towards its home and found dirt at the door, it surrendered itself to the hunt
rather than running through the dirty entrance. For that reason, the British
leadership has been using the Ermine as a symbol of purity. This has made Ermine

BRITISH SEASIDE RESORTS FOR ALL THE FAMILY

JULY 29, 2022

The British coastline is a great place to enjoy the seaside, with plenty of

the family.

A family beach holiday can be a great way to escape the hustle and bustle of
everyday life and enjoy some quality time with loved ones. If you’re looking for

Island is a great choice. The island is located in Hampshire, England, and is
home to miles of golden sand beaches, as well as a number of small shops and
restaurants. There’s also plenty of things to do on the island, including
windsurfing, fishing, and cycling.

If you’re looking for something a little quieter than Hayling Island, then
Brownsea Island is a great option. This small island is located off the coast of
Dorset, England, and is home to stunning beaches, woodlands, and wildlife.

There are many wonderful locations in the UK for a family beach holiday. Sennen
Cove in Cornwall and Rhossili Bay on the south coast of Wales are all excellent
choices. The beaches are sandy with great waves for surfing, and there are
plenty of activities available for children. In Sennen Cove, you can visit the
Geevor Tin Mine Museum or take a boat trip to Land’s End.

Rhossili Bay is home to the Worms Head, a rocky outcrop that can be reached by
foot at low tide, and there are also beautiful walks along the cliffs.

North Berwick has a large nature reserve with walking trails and a bird
observatory, as well as several good restaurants and pubs. The town of North
Berwick is located in East Lothian, Scotland and is a popular tourist
destination. The town has many family attractions, including several blue flag
beaches. The beaches are well-maintained and offer stunning views of the North

WHAT TO WEAR IN LONDON DURING WINTER

NOVEMBER 19, 2019

It’s that time of the year again when everything becomes colder and darker.
Winter is slowly creeping in, and if you’re planning to visit London during
Christmas or new year, it’s important to come prepared! London is a popular
place to visit during the winter holidays as it offers a wide variety of
attractions during the winter season. Before you visit, make sure you are well
prepared for the cold season. Below we’ve provided some tips on what to wear in
London during the winter season.

OUTERWEAR

First things first, make sure you bring and wear a warm coat! Many Londoners
wear all kinds of coats from long teddy coats, tailored coats to a puffer
jacket. The thicker and warmer, the better! Depending on your style or
preference, you can choose warm colours or bright colours if you’re feeling
bold! London is an open city, and it’s the best place to express your fashion
style.

FOOTWEAR

To keep your feet warm and dry, you should opt-in for winter boots or wellies.
Both are just as stylish and will keep your feet comfortable and cosy. Both are
also perfect for long walks, especially if you’re exploring London on foot! If
the weather is not too icy or wet, you can wear a pair of trainers too.

ACCESSORIES

Don’t forget to bring winter accessories like a beanie hat, gloves or a snuggly
scarf. These accessories will surely keep you warm and stylish during the
winter. There are also wet days and the possibility of snow in London, so you
may want to bring an umbrella to be safe.

TOP

Winter is all about layering. Be sure to wear a comfortable jumper, sweatshirts,
cardigans or hoodie during the winter days. You can also wear shirts or t-shirts
of your choice, but it’s important to layer up to keep yourself warm.

BOTTOM

Jeans are suitable for the cold days as they have a thick layer, however, if
you’re going to do a lot of exploring, you can still look stylish by wearing a
comfortable jogger or a trouser with a thick or knitted layer. For women, it’s
still possible to wear a skirt in winter as long as it’s a maxi length as these
will keep the legs covered from the cold weather. …

UK FESTIVALS & FESTIVAL FASHION TRENDS

NOVEMBER 18, 2015

Festivals are now more popular than ever with new smaller sites setting up
locally, and with the new festivals come new festival goers. Undaunted by the
thought of camping, not showering, and the party style behaviour that many
display at festivals, thousands of people head off each year to experience some
of the best popular music that the world has to offer.

Mostly these festivals take place over a weekend so people camp in tents in
nearby fields so that they can be at the front of the queue for the headline
acts. There are also other activities at many festivals such as fair ground
rides and stalls selling food and mementos. Because they are such big events,
people dress up and the festival scene has developed its own fashion led by the
many celebrities that attend.

With Festival season fast approaching, headline acts announced and tickets on
sale, now is the perfect time to start planning your summer 2016 festival
wardrobe! It doesn’t matter what find of festival you’ll be attending, you’ll be
able to find inspiration for your festival-wear at sites such as Wild Thing, a
dedicated online store offering clothing and accessories by some of the UK’s
most popular festival brands.…

TRADITIONAL BRITISH CREAM TEA

JANUARY 20, 2022

Cream Tea, also known as Devonshire Cream Tea is an afternoon snack that’s
served and enjoyed in a local tea room. Believed to have originated in Devon and
Cornwall during the early 11th Century, typical cream tea will serve scones with
clotted cream, fruit jam on the side and accompanied with a nice warm cup of
tea. 


A FAVOURITE BRITISH PAST TIME

An afternoon cream tea is a British pastime and gathering enjoyed by many people
throughout the country, as well as visitors and tourists from all over the
world. The idea of unwinding with close ones whilst enjoying a locally made
scone and clotted cream became very appealing and fashionable, so you would
often find Tea Houses, Cafe’s and many establishments offering their own cream
tea menu.


NATIONAL CREAM TEA DAY

With its rise in popularity, the National Cream Tea Day was added in 2015,
taking place on the last Friday in June of each year. Naturally, cream tea
became more common outside of Cornwall and Devon that it can now be enjoyed in
hotels, bread and breakfast, cosy team rooms, British coastlines, weddings,
special events or even at the comfort of your home.


CREAM TEA ETIQUETTE GUIDE

Cream tea is best enjoyed when you’re by following a common local tea room
etiquette. Given the controversial debate over jam or cream first in your
scones, there is no right answer, but it’s worth knowing both preferences from
Cornwall and Devon.

 * Only use your knife to spread the fruit jam and clotted cream in your scones.
   There is no need to slice your scone with a knife since it can easily split
   apart by pulling both halves with your hands
 * Set your required jam on the side of your plate before applying it directly
   to your scone halves. Adding butter underneath your jam and cream is common
   too depending on your preference
 * Devonshire method: Add your cream first before your fruit jam (since they
   believe that you wouldn’t add your fruit jame spreads before butter on toast)
 * Cornwall method Add your fruit jam before your cream (since they believe that
   a fruit jam acts as a barrier between a warm scone and the clotted cream,
   thus preventing the cream from melting)


FAMOUS CREAM TEA ROOMS TO VISIT IN THE UK

Fingle Bridge Inn, Drewsteignton, Devon: The Fingle Inn is located in a
picturesque riverside with the backdrop of the Teign waters passing through a
quaint stone grey arched bridge. The cosy and homely atmosphere and daily
special cream teas made it a popular tourist spot for many decades.

The Mowhay, Truro, Cornwall: The converted barn cottage offers welcome cream
teas to lodgers at no cost at all, so visitors can help themselves with the
farmer’s wife’s homemade scones, homemade fruit jams and a tub of local cornish
clotted cream in the fridge, as they overlook the distant meadows and tranquil
wind farms on the patio table.

WHAT IS A TYPICAL BRITISH AFTERNOON TEA?

NOVEMBER 2, 2021

British afternoon tea is a traditional meal that involves a variety of light
finger food served with a warm cup of afternoon tea. A typical afternoon tea
menu would have bite-size crustless sandwiches accompanied with pastries, scones
with clotted cream, and served with a nice hot cuppa. Favourite teas for
beverages include black teas like earl grey, herbal mint teas, or
fruit-flavoured selections.


ORIGINS AND CONCEPT OF AFTERNOON TEA

Historically, afternoon tea was a common pastime for the high society,
especially when ladies would have a leisure afternoon gathering with close
friends and unwind whilst snacking on assorted snacks and tea. It was initially
developed as a private social event for ladies who climbed the upper-class
society during the early 1840s. It was only when Queen Victoria engaged in the
afternoon tea ceremony that it became popularised.


TYPES OF AFTERNOON TEA

Although many foreigners and tourists think of afternoon tea as having a set
menu, many variations and occasions can go with the meal.

Cream Tea: The simplest form of afternoon tea is a cream tea, a light meal
including scones and cream accompanied by a pot of tea. Sweet scones are best
served with cornish clotted cream or fruit jam, but there’s also an option for a
savoury scone flavour.

Light Tea: By adding more desserts and sweet snacks on top of cream tea, you get
light tea. A random assortment of homemade cakes and sweet British pastries to
nibble on whilst sipping on your tea of choice is the best way to enjoy a Light
Tea.

Full Tea: With the addition of bite-size savoury foods like egg mayonnaise
sandwiches, smoked salmon with cream cheese, ham and mustard, and cucumber, you
get full tea. Ordering all sets of three menus is common in large gatherings and
special events.


FORMAL OR NON-FORMAL OCCASIONS?

Today, afternoon tea can take place on casual or special occasions, and most
receptions would take place between 16:00 and 19:00. In the UK, afternoon tea is
usually enjoyed as an occasional indulgence or a special event to celebrate
birthdays, baby showers or pre-wedding parties with friends. There are plenty of
establishments that offer a premium and delicate experience, and at the same
time, you’ll find many restaurants and hotels in the country that provide
affordable menus.…

eating experience, then read on as we’ve listed the coolest places to dine!

Sketch

The sketch (see above image) is located in Mayfair which is not too far from
Soho. The restaurants are filled with pink velvet sofa chairs and decorated with

Dans Le Noir

Dans Le Noir let you eat your food in total darkness. Don’t even think that you

different is that most of their staff are registered blind. It can be a fun and
challenging experience to go with your friends or family.

of their greenhouse garden is one of the main quirks of the restaurant. The
