I don’t know about you, but I’m a sucker for a good graphic tee shirt. I’ve become a bit of a tee-shirt collector over the years, as I feel like I can’t go to my favorite musician’s concert without bringing home a tour shirt, and I love a good souvenir tee-shirt whenever I travel. 

However, if you’re like me, after many years, you acquire so many tee shirts, and you feel like you don’t get to wear them all the time. After all, you can only wear a tee shirt and jeans so many times before you get bored.

If you’ve accumulated a great graphic tee-shirt collection but are looking for new and fun ways to incorporate them into your daily outfits, here are some ideas for you!

Wear them under a blazer

This is one of the easiest and best ways to jazz up a tee-shirt outfit. You can throw on your favorite pair of jeans or slacks, tuck in the tee shirt, and then put on your go-to blazer.

This adds some sophistication to your look without being too formal. Plus, the open blazer still allows you to show off the design of your tee shirt.

Pair them with distressed shorts 

In the summertime, there’s nothing like sporting shorts and a tee-shirt on a hot day. If you want to wear a simpler look that will keep you cool, pair one of your favorite tee shirts with some distressed shorts.

You can tuck in your shirt or leave it out. To elevate the look a bit, throw on your favorite booties and some great jewelry, like layered necklaces. Or, you can keep things more casual and wear your favorite pair of sneakers.

Wear them with a maxi skirt

People often underestimate just how fun it is to wear a tee shirt with a skirt. It may not sound like a tee shirt and a long, flowy maxi skirt go together, but they do! Don’t be afraid to pair your favorite long, floral, or plain skirt with a graphic tee shirt.

As long as the colors complement each other, it’s a great combo. This is a sweet way to make your tee shirt look a bit more feminine and whimsical.

Sport them cropped with wide-leg pants

If you have cropped tee shirts, they’ll look great with wide-leg jeans or trousers. It adds some dimension to your look and mixes things up a bit.

If you have a tee shirt that you don’t want to cut but want to wear in a cropped style, you can fold the shirt up and tuck the bottom of the hem into your bra. You can also tie the tee shirt with a hair tie and tuck it in behind you. 

Pair them with bike shorts

So many people have been copying one of Princess Diana’s most famous streetwear looks, which is an oversized sweatshirt with bike shorts and sneakers. You can also copy this iconic look with an oversized tee shirt.

If there’s a shirt in your collection you love, that’s a little too big to wear all the time, pairing it with bike shorts makes an outfit with a fun contrast that’s perfect for running errands or working out.

Now, you should have some easy outfit ideas that give you the excuse to wear your most beloved graphic tees. Get out there and show them off!
