5 Ways To Wear Your Graphic Tees

Under Slip Dresses

For a nod to the nineties, get more wear out of your silky slip dresses in Britain’s cooler climes by layering a fitted tee underneath. Throw on a denim jacket and add chunky trainers to balance out the look.

With Satin Maxi Skirts

Satin maxi skirts are having a big fashion moment. Worn with camis and heels in the evening, they are also great with a graphic tee and sandals during the day for a play on luxe versus relaxed textures.

With Cycling Shorts

An oversized boyfriend T-shirt paired with ribbed cycling shorts, sports socks and trainers: the nineties ‘off-duty model’ look is getting a 2023 rerun right now. Throw a cotton knit around your shoulders for extra preppy points.

With Tailoring

Instantly add some laid-back cool to your corporate suit by switching out your starched shirts and court heels for trainers and a graphic tee. Tuck in the tee and add a designer logo belt if you want to add some polish.

With Denim

Cropped tee styles work well with high-waisted jean styles, or this season’s denim trend: maxi skirts. Throw on a khaki shacket or leather blazer for cooler days and you’re all set for weekends in style.
