Paul Smith T-Shirts

Within this collection, PS Paul Smith pricing starts at £35 for graphic T-shirts and rises to £275 for the cotton-linen overshirt. Accessories such as the three-pack socks and cotton stretch boxers sit at the entry price point, while polo shirts typically range from £55 to £165 depending on fabric and construction. Sale items are marked down from their original retail prices.

PS by Paul Smith sits alongside — not below — the Paul Smith mainline. Both lines are designed in-house under Sir Paul Smith's creative direction and share the brand's core aesthetic. The PS range focuses on casual and smart-casual separates, while the mainline leans more heavily into tailoring and formal pieces. Quality, craftsmanship and design attention are consistent across both.

The PS Paul Smith clothing range is built primarily on high-quality cotton, ranging from organic cotton piqué on polo shirts to cotton-linen blends on overshirts and shirts. Sweatshirts use cotton-blend fleece, while knitwear introduces merino wool and cotton-blend jacquard constructions. The brand avoids synthetic blends on its premium pieces, keeping the focus on natural fibres that wear well and age gracefully.

PS Paul Smith offers several fits across the range. T-shirts and casual shirts are typically labelled Casual Fit, which runs slightly relaxed through the chest and shoulders. Polo shirts are offered in Regular Fit, which sits true to size with a straight hem. Tailored pieces such as overshirts and chinos use a Tapered Fit for a cleaner silhouette. If you are between sizes, Paul Smith recommends sizing up.

Paul Smith is most closely associated with mixing British tailoring traditions with unexpected details: bold stripe linings, playful graphic prints and the now-iconic multicolour stripe motif. Founded in Nottingham in 1970, the brand became one of the few truly global British menswear names, known equally for its suits and its characterful casual pieces. The zebra logo is one of the most recognisable symbols in contemporary British fashion.

PS by Paul Smith is the mainline diffusion range from the British designer Sir Paul Smith. It retains the same irreverent aesthetic as the main Paul Smith collection — signature stripe details, zebra logo patches and bold graphic prints — at a more accessible price point. The range covers everyday essentials including T-shirts, polo shirts, sweatshirts, knitwear and accessories.

PS Paul Smith T-shirts are built around a rotating set of house signatures: the zebra logo patch, the blur stripe print, skull graphics and all-over sticker motifs. The zebra — borrowed from Sir Paul Smith's personal collection of animal figures — has become one of the most recognisable symbols in British menswear. Skull prints appear in both photographic fabric prints and clean illustrated forms, giving the range a breadth of tone from playful to understated.

Two fits cover the range. Casual Fit sits relaxed through the chest and shoulders with a slightly longer body — comfortable for everyday wear without being oversized. Regular Fit cuts closer to the body with a straighter hem, suiting those who prefer a cleaner, more structured silhouette. Both fits are true to standard UK sizing; if you are between sizes, Paul Smith generally recommends going up.

The majority of PS Paul Smith T-shirts are made from 100% cotton, chosen for its breathability and print quality. The fabric holds graphic details — particularly the blur stripe and skull prints — with a sharpness that synthetic blends cannot match. The lounge three-pack uses a softer cotton jersey weight suited to casual and home wear.

PS Paul Smith T-shirts range from £35 on sale to £80 at full price — positioning them at the more accessible end of designer menswear. The cotton quality, construction finish and graphic print registration are noticeably above high-street equivalents. For those looking to invest in a recognisable British designer piece without committing to tailoring prices, the T-shirt range is a practical starting point.

Paul Smith recommends machine washing at 30°C on a gentle cycle to preserve both the fabric and the print quality. Turn graphic-print tees inside out before washing to protect the motif. Avoid tumble drying where possible — air drying flat keeps the shape and prevents shrinkage on pure cotton styles. Do not iron directly over any printed areas.
