Graphic tees never go out of style. Whether it’s a picture of your favorite brand of soda or your favorite rock band, it’s always fun to be able to share a bit about your personality through the shirts that you wear. Take a walk through any city in Georgia, and you can see more and more teens and adults alike wearing cool graphic t-shirts.

With internet shopping there are many ways to buy these t-shirts online – to get the style you want with quick delivery.

Here are some great fashion tips that you can easily incorporate to make sure that you are looking your best when you do put on your favorite graphic tee.

  1. Find the right fit

No matter what kind of clothes you are wearing, if it doesn’t look great the most common reason is probably because the fit is wrong. Whether it’s too big or too small, the fit of your graphic tee is incredibly important.

Make sure that it fits well on your body and accentuates your positives.

A good way to know if a tee fits correctly is if you can pinch (not pull and stretch) between one and two inches off your stomach. When it comes to length, it should end somewhere around your hip. Too long and you’ll start to swim in it, too short and you’ll just look weird.

  1. Choose your look

There are tons of different styles out there and not all of them are right for you. Peruse the graphic tees you own and figure out which ones work with the rest of your wardrobe and which do not.

Sometimes the best bet is to go for unique graphic apparel, that way you will stand out, rather than just wear that same Coca-Cola shirt that everyone on planet earth seems to own.

  1. Don’t forget to layer

A solid black, white or gray color base is going to make your tee really easy and stylish when pairing with other items in your wardrobe. Try a graphic tee with your favorite jean or leather jacket. You could even see how it looks under a blazer or sports coat.

If you’ve got the guts, you could even try to pair it with a full suit. A graphic tee under a suit will certainly help you stand out from the crowd as it says that you’re not afraid to make bold choices even in formal occasions.

Ultimately, layering with your graphic tees offers you the opportunity to pair creativity with business, energy with elegance.

  1. Find the right footwear

This is super important and should never be forgotten. The best kind of footwear to wear with graphic tees is typically sneakers that have the same base color as the color of your shirt. White tee with white sneakers is a classic look. Black tee with black sneakers is a bit more suave and understated. Both options, however, look great.

  1. Accessorize

You’re wearing a graphic tee in the first place because you want to let your clothes speak for yourself and because you want to stand out. Why not go the extra mile and accessorize even further. Consider a cool hat to keep that youthful energy. Or try to match your tee with a belt or colorful watchband.

There’s a lot you can do with graphic tees. If you follow these five tips, you’ll be sure that you’re always looking great.
