What’s the first thing you notice when looking at this ensemble? I asked quite a few people, and they all said the same thing: the sun graphic. Big and beautiful, this white design imprinted on a black palette is the eye-catching center of attention. The prominent size almost makes it look like a logo. Go big or go home, right? Graphic prints are the perfect way to make a statement and add some fun to an outfit. Just consult Fausto Puglisi’s spring 2015 ready-to-wear collection for inspiration.
The great thing about graphics is that there are millions of designs out there ranging in size, color, texture and so forth. This particular shirt was inspired by Look number 11 in that both outfits feature a striking sun design and other prints. This shirt even has little zodiac signs and shimmering rhinestones studded along the sun’s rays that you’d only notice upon closer inspection. Little details like these serve to enhance the design and give it a little bit more “oomph!”
I paired this beautiful cold-shoulder graphic top with a floral skirt and combat boots. As you can probably tell, black is my go-to color because it’s slimming, classy and always in style. For graphic T-shirt, you’ll want a simple color palette like this in order to let the design stand out. Here, the simplicity of the black base really makes the sun graphic pop. As for bottoms, you can go with something simple or something with a patterned print, like I did (bonus points if the design of your bottoms match your top!). An ensemble like this is simple: just a shirt, skirt and boots. With graphic designs, you don’t need to fuss with multiple layers in order to create a statement; the beauty is in the details.
