My Fashion Pedigree: From Milano to Night Markets
I’ve strutted through the halls of Istituto Marangoni, darling —
Yes, that Marangoni, Milano, the fashion mecca where if your socks don’t match your soul, you’re already excommunicated.
I’ve sold tees in Shilin Night Market, Taiwan’s neon-lit catwalk of chaos, back when I was still hustling in flip-flops and teenage dreams.
I’ve spent sleepless nights in Canadian winters sewing garments for a fashion school while my classmates sobbed into their Tim Hortons.
I survived that, too — with a Dean’s Honor List badge, might I add (still waiting for mine to be turned into a golden patch).
So Why Uniforms? Why NICE?
- 🧢 Customization starts at just 30 pieces, making it stylish and affordable for your team or group. With NICE, you can look good without breaking the bank.
But here’s the catch — this isn’t your uncle’s boxy, stiff, polyester nightmare.
This is fashion meets mission.
They craft reusable bags, cheering clothes, and group uniforms that make high school uniforms jealous. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality is truly admirable. With NICE, you’re not just getting a uniform; you’re getting a piece of art.
Oh, and pilgrimage group outfits? Yes. Mazu, protect my ankle.
Discovering the NICE Appeal
I scrolled through their official site and their Facebook and thought,
“Hold up—when did matching tees get this cool?”
If I had known in high school, I could have worn this to graduation, I wouldn’t have spent 3 hours crying in a bathroom over a crinkled rental gown. So here I am now — a former runway rebel turned disabled hobo with designer taste and orthopedic shoes — Screaming into the void:
Support your team. Support your temple. Support your knees.
Just do it with NICE — because if we must sweat, march, or scream into megaphones, we might as well look damn good doing it.
More Personal History: Tears, Triumph, and T-Shirts
Once upon a time—not in a castle, but in a sweaty, screechy, neon-lit maze called Shilin Night Market—I’m slinging self-designed fashion tees with one hand while swatting mosquitoes with the other. I’m 17, I don’t sleep, and I think “margin” is a dirty word. Fast forward through the timeline of poor life choices dressed in fabulous outfits, and somehow, I end up acing Fashion Design in Canada (on the Dean’s Honour List, baby), making even my cold, dead-seaweed-hearted professor cry.
That’s right. My professor calls me in just to say,
“Go do what I couldn’t. Enroll at Istituto Marangoni.”
Mic drop.
So I do.
I pack my life into a suitcase with broken wheels and fly to Milano, where I live on €1 coffee and tears, and still slay every project they throw at me. Only 20 students worldwide get in. Guess who’s one of them? Yep—me. Your girl. 👋
The NICE Gig: Falling for Custom Jerseys
Now?
I’m an award-winning, luxury-certified, internationally educated fashion powerhouse with dreams the size of Taiwan’s garbage trucks. I am writing this review for NICE’s custom-made uniform.
That’s right.
But am I complaining?
Absolutely not. Because this is NICE — and I gotta say… the name is not lying.
It is nice.
The gig? Simple.
The risk?
I might accidentally fall in love with their customizable baseball jersey and bankrupt myself ordering team tees for the imaginary band I formed in 2009 called “Emotional Damage.”
Let’s Talk Clothes: NICE Delivers the Drip
Let’s talk clothes, because NICE knows what’s up. Whether you’re repping your school at temple fair like it’s the Met Gala or strutting into a Mazu parade like a holy hotshot, NICE’s Cheering Tees, sportswear, and baseball outfits bring the drip. Forget basic cotton tees—we’re talking customized masterpieces with personality. They do uniforms, class tees, eco-friendly tote bags, and even temple outfits for when you need to look both spiritual and street-chic.
Wanna see proof?
Go drool over their previous work on their website. It’s so good that I’m ready to fake-join a student council just to order a group set.
So here I am, a fashion warrior who once dreamed of Paris runways, now typing in my PJs, about team uniforms and temple tees. And you know what? I love it here. Because every brand has a story—and NICE’s is one of community, energy, and looking fresh while doing it.
🧢 Uniforms, Knock-Offs, and the Day I Knew I Made It
A Love Letter to NICE, From a Fashion Survivor Who Once Cried Over Her Own Counterfeit.
There was a summer once — some year between 2003 and 2007 —
I was young, pale, and high on the fumes of ambition and cheap fabric dye.
That was the summer I printed my first graphic tee.
Not just any tee — it was my killer design, my breadwinner, my “screw Plan B, this is it!” masterpiece.
Every day, I hawked it at Shilin Night Market, Taiwan’s sacred temple of street vendors and dreams wrapped in plastic.
And every night I counted coins and thought,
“If this sells one more time tomorrow… I can eat. I can pay rent. I might even live another day.”
Spoiler: it did.
Day after day, season after season — that one design carried me like a drunk best friend holding your heels after the club.
Then one bitter winter, when the cold was sobering and life had taught me to flinch before celebrating,
I saw someone walking down the street…
Wearing my design.
In long sleeves.
I never made long sleeves.
I stopped. My knees gave out (not because of my disability, but because of emotion).
And I cried.
I ugly cried.
Because in that moment, it hit me:
Someone had bootlegged me. I had been knocked off.
And that meant I finally f*ing made it.**
Why NICE is the Knock-Off-Proof Dream
This brings us to today — when I’m writing this ode to NICE, a company so on-point with custom uniforms and cheering outfits that they would’ve turned my bootleg heartbreak into a wholesale side hustle.
You want custom?
With a minimum of 30 pieces, you’ll have your own team threads—baseball jerseys, all-week sportswear, temple pilgrimage uniforms, and even temple drips.
Do you want to cheer like your life depends on it?
They’ll suit you up with cheering outfits so loud, your ancestors might rise from the grave to join the pep rally.
You want actual fashion?
This isn’t your average, stiff-collared, “corporate uniform” snorefest.
This is fashion-meets-culture-meets-community.
And it’s built to flex.
Not just for your deltoids — but for your spirit.
From Solo Designer to Community Creator
And look, I’ve designed solo. I’ve cried over stolen ideas, busted zippers, and broken sewing machines at 2 a.m. I’ve aced fashion school in Canada, carried my dreams to Milano, and lived out what my strictest professor called her impossible dream at Istituto Marangoni.
But today, the real flex?
It’s this platform.
It’s a local brand that lets you be the designer—for your team, your school, your sports crew, your temple crew, your TikTok hype house, or your Mazu squad. If I had NICE back then?
I’d be crying over bulk orders, not knock-offs. I’d be weeping tears of joy watching my “killer tee” legally printed in winter long sleeves, with matching support caps, bags, and track pants.
So here’s to you, NICE — For making uniforms sexy, team spirit wearable, and for being the knock-off-proof dream I never knew I needed.
Now, excuse me, I gotta go design a “Team Tanya” support T for my solo fangirl life. 💁♀️
