Joachim Trier Summer Shirt

The Joachim Trier Summer Shirt is the viral fashion moment of 2025, sparked by none other than Elle Fanning on the Cannes red carpet. Featuring hand-drawn, all-caps text reading “JOACHIM TRIER SUMMER” across the front, this crisp white tee combines minimalist streetwear with art-house cinema flair. Designed by 11-year-old Dylan of Dylan’s T-shirt Club, the shirt celebrates both the cultural buzz around Joachim Trier’s latest film Affeksjonsverdi (Sentimental Value) and the rising trend of raw, DIY celebrity fashion. Whether you’re a cinephile, a fashion junkie, or someone who lives for Cannes headlines, this shirt marks the season’s most iconic tribute to indie film.

Joachim Trier Summer Shirt – Cannes Cool Meets Indie Cinema Style

Visually, the shirt makes an immediate statement. The text is intentionally crude, printed in thick black ink as if scrawled by hand—raw, imperfect, and totally unfiltered. The result is a design that feels spontaneous and modern, leaning into the anti-brand aesthetic that’s defining Gen Z fashion. The stark contrast between the black lettering and the bright white fabric adds to its punchy, high-contrast charm. It’s bold enough to be noticed from across the room, yet minimal enough to style however you want.

But it’s not just the look that made this shirt go global—it’s the story behind it. After musician Charli XCX casually coined “Joachim Trier Summer” at Coachella earlier this year, the phrase began surfacing across fan communities. Then, Elle Fanning brought it mainstream. While promoting Affeksjonsverdi at the Cannes Film Festival, she stepped out in the tee paired with flare jeans, wooden platforms, and a silk headscarf—instantly capturing the retro-cool energy of a European summer. Her outfit went viral, but more importantly, it cemented the shirt’s status as the season’s ultimate in-the-know style flex.

Moreover, the shirt doubles as a love letter to cinema itself. Trier, known for films like The Worst Person in the World, has long had a cult following—but this shirt turned his name into fashion currency. With Affeksjonsverdi earning the longest standing ovation at Cannes in 2025, wearing this tee isn’t just trendy—it’s cinematic allegiance.

And yes, it’s wearable. Made from soft, high-quality cotton with a classic unisex fit, it’s just as comfortable as it is cool. Whether you’re heading to a film screening, lounging with friends, or posting your OOTD from the French Riviera (or just pretending), this shirt works with everything.
