The trusty T-shirt. Perfect for lazy days, casual days, and “I don’t know what to wear” days, a graphic tee or plain T-shirt is the ultimate staple. However, we often get stuck with T-shirt styling, opting to pair it with our failsafe jeans and sneakers. We are here to put an end to boring graphic tee outfits, and inspire you to have fun with your styling, creating unique looks using closet staples that you can wear anywhere.
Layering
Top it off.
If you’re trying to find an easy way to style a graphic tee, layering is the most popular, commonly used option.
Most expectedly, layering an oversized plaid shirt over a T-shirt is a look that has been popular for decades. Comfy, casual, and classic, the button up layered over an oversized tee should never be overlooked.
However, you can twist this styling option slightly by layering a long sleeve top underneath your T-shirt. This can be done in many ways, from layering a sparkly or sheer top underneath for a fun rave or festival look, to a thick, figure hugging long sleeve T-shirt to protect you from the winter weather.
Tailoring
Keep it classy.
Pairing a graphic tee or a plain T-shirt with a blazer and trousers set is the perfect way to create a business casual look that is as comfortable as it is impactful. Ideal for office days that turn to post-work drinks, as well as date nights, and parties, pairing a tee with tailored pieces creates a look that can be worn anywhere that requires something a little extra.
Mini Skirts and Dresses
Let your legs out.
If the sun is shining, ditch your go-to jean shorts and grab a mini skirt or mini dress for an unexpected take on a summer look. Choose from slinky mini dresses that hug your curves, to sparkling sequins, to casual, classic denim for a look that will see you from summer days out to happy hours and concert nights. Pair with chunky boots, sneakers, or strappy sandals.
Long Skirts or Dresses
Dress it up.
All the unique style of a mini skirt, with a more formal approach, have you ever considered styling an oversized tee with a long skirt? Creating a flowing silhouette, and an unexpected contrast between a casual tee and a more formal skirt, this take on graphic tees outfits is perfect for date night, as well as nights out and events. For footwear, opt for failsafe boots, strappy heels, or chunky loafers.
Contrasting Textures
Down here.
Rather than searching whole categories of clothing for a matching piece for your graphic tee, why not start by looking at adding depth through textures? Think lace, sequins, mesh, and metallic fabrics to add extreme contrast to your look. The soft jersey of your T-shirt is perfect for pairing with unique, highly textured fabrics to create an exciting look from head to toe.
No matter what you style your graphic tee with, just have fun with your outfit. Treat the T-shirt like the base, and build up from there.
