A slogan looks better on a stylish polo shirt mockup than on a white artboard, and this mockup is set up for exactly that.
Good pick for merch sellers, print-on-demand shops or anyone putting together a portfolio. A small tip: if the print looks too sharp, a very slight blur (0.3 px) makes it sit into the fabric.
Print-on-demand shops use images like this for listings, so the realism of the folds matters more than people think.
Good for
- A slogan
- A back print
- A small chest logo

Main things you can change in Photoshop:

How to use the Stylish Polo Shirt Mockup
- Decide where the design sits on the item and size your art for that spot.
- In the Layers panel, find the layer with the small smart object icon and double-click it.
- Drop your artwork in, fit it to the canvas, save and close. The mockup updates by itself.
- Try a light and a dark fabric to see which suits the print.
- Export with File › Export › Export As: JPG for sharing, PNG for the web.
Keep chest prints around a third of the shirt width. Oversized art looks unrealistic on a folded or worn garment.

Questions about this mockup
Can I use this T-shirt mockup for client work?
That depends on the author's terms. The download page lists what is allowed; when in doubt, ask the author directly.
How do I add my design?
Open the file in Photoshop, double-click the smart object thumbnail, paste or place your artwork in the new tab, save it (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close. The main file updates on its own.
Which Photoshop version do I need?
A recent Photoshop CC version is best. Older versions can open the file but sometimes have trouble with smart objects and effects.
Does the print follow the fabric folds?
Better apparel mockups use a displacement map or warp so the print follows the wrinkles. Check the preview: if the folds show through the logo, it does.
