Maybe this is just us, but when it comes to shopping for merch, it can be pretty tough to find something that strikes a balance between proud fan and fashion.
Oftentimes, brands will sacrifice one or the other, veering into corny territory to appease a fanbase. Other times, the merch is fashionable but lacks that distinctive quality that lets people know that you live and breathe for said artist or franchise. Lucky for you — pun intended — Lucky Brand’s latest collaboration with Guns N’ Roses strikes a perfect balance between fashion and fandom, resulting in apparel and accessories for both men and women that even non-fans will love.
The full collection can be shopped right now on Lucky Brand’s website, and pieces retail from $23.70 to $139. The collab includes denim — a Lucky Brand staple — along with graphic tees fans and fellow rockers are sure to love. To make your shopping a bit easier, we’ve spotlighted five of our favorite pieces below, discussing everything from sizing options to styling and everything in between so you can shop the merch like a pro.
Of course, this wouldn’t be a rock collection without Guns N’ Roses graphic tees. The collection is chock-full of unique tees for both men and women, all afixed with eye-catching designs that give each piece an edgy feel. While it was hard to choose our favorites, we ultimately settled on the Men’s “Girl” Tee for $39.50 and Women’s Studded Boyfriend Tee for $49.50
Both garments have a lived-in feel and a boxy finish, emulating that distressed look that vintage rock band tees often have. The Boyfriend Tee features a roomy crew neck and a ribbed collar. Sizing for this piece ranges from XS to 2XL. The front and back are affixed with tour graphics from the band’s Appetite for Destruction Tour in 1987. To further up the ante, the shirt is adorned with gold studs. This tee is 100% cotton, offering a breezy, weightless feel.
Similarly boxy, the Men’s “Girl” Tee is red and comes in sizes small to 2XL. The shirt features a faded wash with artwork of a rocker girl on the front in reference to the band’s Use Your Illusion era. The T-shirt is made of a mix of 57% polyester and 43% cotton.
This wouldn’t be a Lucky Brand collaboration if we didn’t mention the denim, and as you can guess, there’s a good amount of it. The Men’s 223 Straight Jeans for $139 is a standout for us. The straight leg style is slightly baggy and properly distressed with rips and tears all up the thighs and knees. The wash is gray-ish blue.
Sizing options range from 28 through 42, with a 30 and 32 inch inseam. A Guns N’ Roses skull graphic can be seen embroidered on the back pocket, enhancing the otherwise basic silhouette. The motif also offers a much-needed pop of color. The denim is durable and, most important, comfortable, made with the right amount of stretch so you can move and mosh without feeling restricted.
Unrelated to our denim faves, the Crew Sweatshirt for $99.50 is a good pick for those who want a solid piece of merch to wear when it gets chilly. The crewneck is made of 100% cotton and comes in gray with a skull graphic on the back and a coordinating Guns N’ Roses logo on the front. The comfortable style comes in sizes small to 2XL.

The only accessory on our list, and the only one featured in the collection, is the Skull Baseball Hat for $23.70. The hat is a burgundy hue with a skull and rose motif embroidered on the front. An embroidered GN’R patch is on the back, above an adjustable slide-tab closure.
