Shirts to Match Black and Yellow Jordan 12s

The Air Jordan 12 is one of the most popular sneaker styles ever sold, so much so that Nike barely had to do any marketing for it.

If you have a pair of Air Jordan 12s, you'll know that these shoes are well-known for the high contrast in their colors. This is especially true for black and yellow Jordan 12s.

And while this color combination is eye-catching, it might be overwhelming when you're trying to find sneaker matching tees.

But if you're looking for shirts to match Jordans, look no further. Our guide has everything you need to know about which shirts to wear with your black and yellow Jordan 12s. Keep reading to find out more.

Don’t Overdo It

With colors like yellow that can have so much variation in their tone, sneaker matching tees are a great option because they are made to match the exact color of your shoes.

While you may have heard of style advice that tells you to match your colorful clothes with items of the same color, you don't want your outfit to be so bright that you stand out like a sore thumb.

Instead, opt for a t-shirt that matches the same yellow color as your shoes but adds some extra color such as green, like this Yoda-Inspired T-Shirt.

This way, you match the same color yellow to your shoes while adding some much-needed black and a fun pop of green.

Keep It Simple

One of the most important style tips for wearing yellow sneakers is to keep the rest of your outfit simple. This means staying away from patterns that are very colorful and take attention away from your sneakers.

For example, with your Jordan 12s, you want your shoes to stand out, so anything neon or too patterned will clash with your sneakers.

If you enjoy wearing plaid, you could make it work with your yellow sneakers, but make sure to choose a muted plaid like one with shades of gray. 

If you want your shoes to stand out, consider wearing them with a black pair of pants and a simple shirt that complements your sneakers, like this Own It T-Shirt. 

You still get a pop of yellow that matches your shoes, but the gray pattern adds visual interest without taking away from your shoes.

Focus On Contrast

One of the defining characteristics of Jordan 12s is the contrast between yellow and black. 

And sometimes, you want to emphasize this contrast in your outfit. For your black and yellow Jordan 12s, this means that the other items in your outfit will also be black and yellow.

But this doesn't mean that you have to wear a plain black t-shirt. Instead, opt for a shirt like the By Any Means T-Shirt, which is black with a pop of yellow to match your Jordans.

This way, you can still focus on contrast while adding more visual interest with a cool design.

You don't have to wear another bright color to make a statement or add contrast to your outfit. In fact, given how much of a statement your black and yellow sneakers already make, any more might add too much visual clutter to your outfit.

Instead, you can add contrast with shades of gray or neutral colors like taupe, off-white, or navy blue.

Style With Sweats

One of the best comfortable outfit ideas is for your Jordan 12s is to wear them with sweats. And if you thought that sweats were only for the gym, think again.

These days sweats come in so many shapes and styles, and you're sure to find ones that are flattering.

One great style of pants to wear is joggers. They're comfortable like sweats but have a bit more shape and style to them. Most joggers have a drawstring waist and taper at the leg for a slimmer fit than your usual sweatpants.

You can wear joggers with your favorite sneakers and a t-shirt for a comfortable yet classy look.

One outfit combination you could wear with your Jordan 12s is black or dark gray joggers and a matching t-shirt with a pop of yellow.

Jeans for Every Day

You might think that you can only wear your Jordans with athletic clothes, but this definitely isn't the case. Jeans are a great option for your black and yellow Jordan 12s as long as you match them well with the rest of your outfit.

The best jeans for Jordan 12s include timeless options like Levi's 501, which have stayed popular since they came out. 

One of the best tips for wearing your jeans in a way that will look good with your Jordans is to make sure that your jeans are the right length.

If your jeans are too long, the ends will bunch up and look messy. But if your jeans are too short, then there will be a gap between the bottom of your jeans and the top of your shoes. 

If your pants are too long, see if folding the hems up will look good with your shoes. If not, consider taking your jeans to a tailor to have them hemmed.

A great t-shirt to match with your jeans and Jordan 12s is the Shoe Splash T-Shirt. The pops of blue in this t-shirt will match almost every color of jeans. Plus, the white color of the t-shirt adds another layer of contrast to your outfit without being overwhelming.

Match Your Jacket

If you want a more layered look for cooler weather, then consider matching your jacket to your Jordans.

One great outfit combination for black and yellow Jordan 12s is to match them with a yellow or black jacket and then layer this with a gray, black, or white hoodie underneath. Make sure that your hoodie is a different color than your jacket for some subtle contrast.

Then, pick your favorite t-shirt to wear underneath. A great choice is the Illdussa T-Shirt because its focal point is in the middle. This means that you'll be able to see the shirt's design even if your jacket and hoodie are covering the sides.

When matching a jacket to your Jordans, remember not to add too much color. Even if you love color, you'll draw attention away from your shoes, especially because the back and top of the shoe are black. 

A bright red jacket might look nice on its own, but it will more than likely clash with your black and yellow Jordans. Instead, opt for a black, gray, or white jacket with a simple design.

The plus side to this type of outfit is that you can wear neutral-colored jackets with many more items in your closet, not only your Jordans, so they make a good investment if you get one.

Wear Matching Colors

To best match with your Jordans, you can find clothing that has a similar yellow color to the one on your shoes. This can get frustrating with colors that have so many shades, so it's a great idea to look at sneaker matching apparel like illCurrency, where we've done all the color matching for you.

Aside from wearing matching shades of yellow, you may want to add other colors that match the yellow in your sneakers. 

For example, let's say you don't want to wear only black and white with your Jordan 12s. Perhaps you don't have much black or gray in your wardrobe and you generally enjoy color.

In that case, get an idea of what colors go well with the yellow of your Jordans. Aside from black and white, these colors include blue, green, and purple.

If you're unsure of how to wear yellow shoes with colors that match, take a look at a color wheel and see how you can use it to match your clothes.

Another way to help you match your colors is to check whether the colors you want to wear are cool-toned or warm-toned. Since your black and yellow Jordan 12s are warm-toned with more of a golden undertone, you want to wear warm colors to match.

These include warm blues that have a hint of purple in them, as well as warm greens like khaki, olive, and pistachio.

Sock Synergy

It's easy to forget about socks when you're trying to match an outfit to your shoes, but you need to consider them if you don't want them to clash with your Jordans.

Some common lengths of socks include no-show, low cut, ankle-length, mid-calf, over the calf, and knee-high. Although no-show and low-cut socks are a great option for low-top sneakers, you want a higher cut for high-top shoes.

And since Jordan 12s are high-top shoes, the best types of socks to get are ankle-length socks. If you need to wear socks that go any higher, make sure you wear pants that cover the top of your shoe.

It's always a good idea to get socks in neutral colors. Black is a great option because it doesn't get dirty as easily and you can wear it with anything in your closet. 

Keep sock fabric in mind as well. If you're going to be walking for a long time or doing any type of physical activity, get socks with the highest amount of cotton possible for the best breathability.

Follow Your Style

At the end of the day, no matter which style tips you follow, you always want to stick with your style. You can have the coolest, most modern outfit and still not feel good in it if it doesn't fit your style.

If you prefer to be comfortable, then sweats and a matching t-shirt are the way to go. A great look for sports lovers is to pair your black and yellow Jordans with the Bulls Head Kicks T-shirt, which features the motifs of the iconic Chicago Bulls basketball team.

And if you'd like to add a few more details for a modern yet classy look, wear your favorite jeans and a classic jacket with your Jordans.

Make Your Own Statement

Remember that your sneakers are also versatile, so you don't have to wear them for only one type of occasion. Try mixing and matching them to the items you have in your closet and see what kinds of different combinations you can come up with.

And even though black and yellow Jordan 12s are such a popular shoe, you can still adapt them to suit your style, no matter what that is. For example, if you have a fun style and love animal mascots, then the Stay Ill Bear T-Shirt is a great choice. 

No matter your style, you can match these versatile sneakers to any outfit in your closet while still making a statement with this striking color combination.
