You may have noticed a sudden spike in the number of graphic tees available in stores, online, and in Instagram posts—even in places you may not have expected! This trend is one of my current favorites because it’s an exciting challenge to test how many ways a tee can be worn and how to make it look new every time: Dressing it up or down, styling it more feminine or edgy, even cutting it up to make a unique creation. The possibilities with graphic tees are truly endless.

Because they are so versatile, you can pretty much dress up your graphic tees in any way you want, regardless of what’s on it. Ever thought about wearing your funky printed tee underneath your blazer for the perfect office look? If not,  what are you waiting for? If you’re thinking about experimenting with your style, then the graphic tee is one that I recommend you start with!

For one tee in particular, I put together two outfits, an edgy look and a laid back vibe. Check out my looks below, and be sure to follow along on Instagram as I document additional ways to wear it.
