Are there places in Tokyo where I could buy anime clothing merchandise?

Something minimalist, like a logo from an anime. Preferably Cardigans or Jackets.

If you weren't looking for a specific anime series, you can get graphic tees practically anywhere in Japan from department stores, Shimamura, uniqlo and the like will have a selection of then.

The Akihabara area is an obvious place to visit if you're interested in anime stuff. Many of the shops are more focused on collectibles like figures, stationery and pins but there's bound to be an anime clothing shop in there somewhere.

Tokyo 1st street under the station has a bunch of small themed shops. Likely their clothing selections will be very small if at all but you may find some series you like.

Close to Yokohama Sakurajima station there was a Shonen Jump store if you like anime and manga from that publisher.

Yeah I thought of Akihabara (as well as Nakano Broadway).

But it's my first time going to Tokyo and I've heard that Akihabara is huge place and I might not be able to explore it all to find a clothing store.

Do you perhaps know anything specific place?

I've never gone specifically looking for clothes... a T-shirt specialty store I found online is kamikaze style with their location in Akihabara.

Animate is a popular spot. I'm absolutely sure you'll find no shortage of anime related stores and goods there but for clothes specifically I suppose you'll need to look around.
