STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: The Return Of The Graphic T-shirt

March 27th, 2015 at 2:00am

While “graphic T-shirt” is definitely a set of dirty words, maybe it’s just a matter of the right print at the right time done in the right way. An all-over picture or print on a T-shirt can be a welcomed addition that requires minimum effort to any casual outfit. If it’s done right, you can get away with it without running the risk of looking stuck in the early 2000s.

The trick to the printed T-shirt is distributing color so it’s not overwhelming. If your T-shirt is covered in a bold and bright print, like the iconic Versace baroque laser-print shirts, pair them with a classic pair of black jeans with a tapered leg and low-key monochromatic accessories. If your shirt isn’t so loud, spruce it up with a bright pair of trainers or a flossy pair of socks like this Fashionista has done.

This Fashionista pairs the photographic detail on her shirt with a pair of Nikes and a perfectly fitted pair of black short shorts. To top it all off, this Fashionista is prepared for anything with her pumpkin colored messenger bag.

Though this Fashionista is clearly ready for a casual class day, you can take your printed top into more elegant settings by tucking your very own conversation piece into a sleek skirt and adding a pair of sky high stacked heels.
