Anti-Valentine's Day
Look, we get it. Not everyone's keen on the whole heart-shaped chocolate, overpriced roses, and mandatory romance vibe that rolls around every February 14th. Whether you're happily single, cynically coupled, or just allergic to the commercialised mushy stuff, Valentine's Day can feel like a bit much.
But here's the thing: just because you're not into the traditional lovey-dovey nonsense doesn't mean you can't have a laugh. In fact, we reckon the anti-Valentine's crowd has way more fun anyway. So if you'd rather celebrate your disdain for Cupid than fall victim to his arrows, we've got the perfect tees to match your mood.
If you're flying solo this Valentine's Day and absolutely loving it, these shirts are your new best mates.
"Call Me Never" ♥
Sometimes the best relationship status is "unavailable and unbothered." This design is perfect for anyone who's screened one too many calls from exes or just prefers their own company, thanks very much. It's giving strong boundaries and zero apologies.
Rock this on our AS Colour Women's Classic Tee, a staple that says you're classic, but also completely over it.
"Why Fall in Love When You Can Fall Asleep?" ♥
Honestly, truer words have never been spoken. Sleep is free, always there for you, and never forgets your birthday. Your bed doesn't leave the toilet seat up or steal the doona. It's the most committed relationship you'll ever have, and this tee celebrates that beautiful truth. Perfect for wearing to brunch while your coupled-up mates complain about their partners.
"Not Today Cupid" ♥
Consider this your official restraining order against that diaper-wearing cherub. You're not interested in his schemes, thanks very much. This design is basically a "Do Not Disturb" sign for your love life, and we respect that energy. Wear it on February 14th as a shield against unwanted romantic advances and pitying looks from relatives.
Available on our AS Colour Maple Tee and AS Colour Supply Hood Tee for when you want that message delivered loud and clear.
"Heartbreaker Mode: All Day, Everyday" ♥
Who says you need to be heartbroken? Flip the script. You're not the victim of Valentine's Day; you're the villain, and you're thriving. This tee is for anyone who's too busy living their best life to worry about plus-ones and dinner reservations. It's giving main character energy, and we're here for it.
Grab this design on our AS Colour Classic Oversized Tee for that perfectly relaxed, effortlessly cool fit.
Just because you're in a relationship doesn't mean you have to go full Hallmark movie about it. Some couples prefer their love with a side of sarcasm and a healthy dose of reality. If you and your partner bond over mutual disdain for cheesy romance, these matching tees are calling your names.
"If I Had Feelings, They'd Be For You" ♥
This is peak goth couple energy right here. It says, "I love you, but like, I'm not gonna be weird about it." Perfect for partners who show affection through roasting each other and sharing memes about existential dread. It's romantic in the most unromantic way possible, and that's exactly the point.
Find this design on our AS Colour Classic Oversized Tee, because your dark romance deserves a comfy fit.
"I Hate You Less Than Other People" ♥
Let's be real: this is basically a marriage proposal in some relationships. If your love language is tolerating each other slightly more than you tolerate the general population, this tee gets it. It's for couples who understand that true love means finding someone whose particular brand of annoying you can actually stand. Bonus points if you both wear matching ones and confuse everyone around you.
"Love is in the Air, Try Not to Breathe" ♥
For the punk and goth couples who think Valentine's Day is a capitalist conspiracy and prefer their romance with a touch of nihilism. This design perfectly captures that "we're together but we're still too cool for this" vibe. Wear these to your anti-Valentine's dinner where you'll probably end up at a dive bar instead of a fancy restaurant, and that's exactly how you both like it.
"Anti Valentine Club" ♥
You know what's better than celebrating Valentine's Day? Actively rebelling against it with your partner. This tee is like a secret society membership card for couples who are in love but refuse to participate in the February 14th madness. It's you and your partner against the world's expectations, which is honestly pretty romantic when you think about it. (But don't think about it too hard; that defeats the purpose.)
Available on our AS Colour Women's Heavy Tee for a quality fit that matches your quality cynicism.
"Heartbreaker" ♥
Whether you're single and proud or coupled and caustic, this classic design works for everyone who's over the Valentine's hype. It's simple, it's bold, and it says you're not here to play by anyone else's rules. Wear it ironically, wear it genuinely, wear it because you nicked your ex's metaphorical heart and have no regrets.
Here's why these shirts are actually brilliant, even if you're not normally a graphic tee person:
They're honest. No fake smiles, no pretending you're thrilled about overpriced prix-fixe menus. These tees say what everyone's thinking but too polite to admit.
They're conversation starters. Nothing breaks the ice like someone reading your shirt and going, "Mate, same." Instant connection with fellow Valentine's skeptics.
They're wearable year-round. Unlike those "Be Mine" heart tees that get shoved to the back of the wardrobe on February 15th, these designs are timeless. Cynicism never goes out of style.
They take the pressure off. If you're in a relationship, matching anti-Valentine's tees are basically a mutual agreement that neither of you has to stress about grand romantic gestures. If you're single, they're a pre-emptive strike against anyone who might pity you. Win-win.
The beauty of these tees is that they work with literally any look, but here are some ideas:
Full goth mode: Black jeans, leather jacket, chunky boots, and your "If I Had Feelings" tee. Maybe some dark lipstick if you're feeling fancy. This is the "I'm in a relationship but still too cool for this" aesthetic.
Casual chaos: Throw your anti-Valentine's tee over some trackies, add your favorite sneakers, and you're ready for a day of ignoring the holiday entirely. Comfort meets rebellion.
Punk it up: Ripped jeans, studded belt, and your "Anti Valentine Club" tee. Bonus points for a beanie or some statement jewelry. You're not just anti-Valentine's; you're anti-establishment in general.
Lazy Sunday: Your anti-V Day tee as pajamas. Because if you're spending February 14th on the couch binging Netflix and eating pizza alone (or with your equally unbothered partner), you might as well look the part.
Valentine's Day isn't for everyone, and that's completely fine. Whether you're single by choice, in a relationship that doesn't need a designated day to prove it, or just someone who thinks the whole thing is a bit naff, these tees are for you.
They're for the people who'd rather have a laugh than a dozen roses. For couples who show love through sarcasm rather than sonnets. For singles who are living their best lives without needing validation from a calendar date.
So this February 14th, skip the heart-shaped everything and grab a tee that actually represents how you feel. Because honestly? There's something pretty romantic about finding humor in the chaos and wearing your cynicism on your sleeve. Or, you know, on your chest. In bold letters. Where everyone can see it.
Ready to tell Cupid where to shove it? Check out our full range of anti-Valentine's tees and find the one that speaks to your soul (or lack thereof). Whether you're team "Why Fall in Love When You Can Fall Asleep" or rocking matching "I Hate You Less" tees with your partner, we've got you sorted.
After all, if you can't laugh at Valentine's Day, what's even the point?
