How to Style a Graphic Tee: 19 Outfit Ideas
These are my favorite graphic tee outfits that I have come up with over the years. I love all these ideas because they are all such a fun way to easily wear this casual look.
A Blazer, Mini Skirt, and Sneakers
One of my favorite ways to style oversized graphic tees is layering them under a blazer with a mini skirt and my favorite pair of sneakers. It’s the perfect balance between polished and playful, and it’s such an easy outfit for casual outings.
Oversized Cardigan and Leggings
For relaxed fits that still look put together, I’ll throw an oversized cardigan over a print tee and add leggings. It’s a cozy outfit combo that works for lazy days, coffee runs, or just chilling at home.
Styled With a Denim Jacket
You can never go wrong with a basic tee and a classic denim jacket. I love how this casual outfit feels effortless but still cute. It’s one of those different combinations that always works, no matter the season.
A Button Down and Linen Shorts
For a breezy summer look, I like layering a cool t shirt under a button-down shirt with linen shorts. It’s lightweight, comfy, and gives you endless possibilities to dress it up or down.
Oversized Graphic Tee Dress
Sometimes I just grab one of my oversized graphic tees and wear it like a dress! Add black boots or ankle boots for a bit of edge, and you’ve got the perfect look for festivals, brunch, or just hanging out.
Tucked With a Mini Skort
Tucking a vintage design tee into my bra to make a cropped effect is one of my go-to outfit tricks. It’s an easy outfit that makes a basic tee feel a little more styled, perfect for casual dates or casual wear days.
Styled with a Midi Skirt
I love pairing a print tee with a midi skirt for a fun mix of casual and chic. Today’s style is all about different looks, and this is such a cute way to make cool t shirts feel a little fancier.
Denim Shirt and Trousers
Layering a denim shirt over a graphic tee and adding trousers gives off a cool, relaxed vibe. It’s one of my favorite outfit formulas when I want something laid-back but not sloppy.
Styled with Boxer Shorts
Boxer shorts with oversized tees are such a vibe right now. It’s a relaxed fit outfit that’s perfect for warm days when you want to look cute but feel comfy.
Styled with a Tennis Skirt
For a sporty look, I’ll pair a cool t shirt with a tennis skirt. Add comfy shoes and you’re ready for casual outings with friends. It’s one of my favorite easy outfit ideas for spring and summer!
Kimono and Denim Shorts
Layering a light kimono over a graphic tee with denim shorts creates the perfect balance of casual and boho. Throw in some statement earrings and sandals, and you’re set for weekend adventures.
Layered Over a Turtleneck
When it gets chilly, I like layering a print tee over a fitted turtleneck. It’s one of those different combinations that feels super stylish without being fussy, and it gives basic tees a fresh, winter-ready feel.
Denim Jacket Maxi Skirt
Pairing a graphic tee with a maxi skirt and a denim jacket is such a cute combo. It’s the perfect look when you want to mix a little vintage flair with today’s style.
Kimono and Mini Skirt
A kimono, mini skirt, and oversized graphic tee make a fun, breezy outfit. This is one of those casual outfits that works whether you’re headed to brunch, the beach, or a music festival.
Shacket and Leggings
When I need something quick, a shacket, oversized tee, and leggings is my go-to. The relaxed fits are comfy for errands or hanging out, but still stylish enough if you run into someone you know.
Oversized Cardigan and Mini Skirt
Wearing an oversized cardigan over a graphic tee tucked into a mini skirt is such a perfect balance between cozy and cute. Add ankle boots or sneakers for a finished look.
Jeans and Heels
For a dressed-up casual outfit, I’ll wear a print tee into high-waisted jeans and add heels. It’s such a cool design for when you want to look casual but put together—perfect for dinner or drinks.
Styled with a Pleated Midi Skirt
Pleated midi skirts with cool t shirts are one of my favorite ways to dress up a graphic tee. It’s an easy outfit that feels playful and chic at the same time.
