Summer is on its way (hooray), which means it’s time to pack away the thick layers and heavy fabrics until next season, and embrace the sunshine and warmer temperatures with more colourful, lighter options.
One item in particular that will immediately elevate your wardrobe for the new season is a go-to graphic tee. Whether you opt for a playful nautical print, an iconic slogan such as ‘la dolce vita’, or a design we like to call a ‘mullet shirt’, which effectively means ‘business in the front, party in the back’. The front is kept clean with a small print on the top left, and the back is covered in bold artwork.
The beauty of these is that they are a true versatile staple that can be worn with pale blue jeans, a slip skirt, or even layered under a strappy dress. They can be restyled continuously by sizing up and wearing it oversized for a poolside cover-up, or knotted to the side with black jeans and heels for cocktails with the girls.
High street brands like F&F, Next, Marks & Spencer, H&M, and so many more have brilliant options, that you can shop to your heart’s content. So without further ado, let’s get into some of the best we’ve spotted.

Uniqlo’s collection of graphic tees is not to be missed. We love this cute Disney print that nails a balance between nostalgia and everyday wear. The relaxed fit makes it perfect for layering under blazers or pairing with baggy jeans for off-duty vibes.

Abercrombie & Fitch gives a more subtle artistic approach to the trend by using muted tones in the images and placing them towards the sides so that it feels a lot more relaxed and off-duty.
Nobody’s Child White Paris Graphic T-Shirt
A slogan tee with a gingham print is always a recipe for success. The pale blue and red colours pair perfectly together to create a vivid yet sleek design. It gives the ultimate French-girl vibes.

This has to be one of our most favourite styles we’ve come across. Taking nautical motifs and giving them an elevation with beaded embellishments takes this from basic to classy.
