Sorry to say it, but you can’t just take any graphic tee off of a rack and think it’s going to work. The two main functions of the graphic tee are to make a bold statement the reflects your personality and compliment your outfit.
Retail H&M - $12.95
The “OMG” and “Reality Show” tees definitely stand out, and you better have the personality to match. Let’s not stop there. There’s still an element missing…
Retail H&M - $12.95
Just jeans with this? Not quite. A layer over top (blazer, vest, or cardigan) is the way to go if you want to class-up what could easily be considered class-less.
There are other graphic tees that don’t necessarily make as bold a statement, but still deserve the TLC of great colors and corresponding pieces to go with them.
Retail - Fossil - $28.00
A tee like this is great not for a statement, but for contrast purposes. The key would be accessorizing. The colors are present enough if you want to just wear it with jeans, but maybe add some sneakers or a hat with the right color to complete the look.
