How to wear a men's graphic T-shirt in style: tips on fit, colour and pairing it with jeans, trousers or a jacket, so your print looks grown-up and smart.
A graphic T-shirt is the easiest way to add personality to an outfit. But the gap between "stylish" and "just got out of bed" is small. This guide shows how to wear a men's graphic T-shirt so it looks smart, with tips on fit, colour and combinations.
A print stands out most when the shirt fits well. Look at:
Shoulders: the seam sits right on your shoulder, not behind it. Length: the hem falls around your hips, not halfway down your thighs. Sleeves: they sit neatly around your upper arm without squeezing.
LauBelle T-shirts are made of pure cotton with a slightly stretchy feel and a classic round neck, so they stay breathable and hang neatly.
Small or subtle print: works anywhere, even under a blazer. Large graphic print: for free time, weekends and evenings. Word or symbol: like XO, an easy statement that goes with almost anything.
The black XO T-shirt is one of those pieces: recognisable, but not loud.
The classic. A black graphic T-shirt with dark straight jeans always works. White sneakers finish it off.
Wear a plain shirt or overshirt open over your graphic tee. You see just a glimpse of the print and the outfit instantly looks considered.
A graphic tee under grey or beige trousers is a modern smart-casual look. Choose a calmer shirt for this, like the dark blue graphic T-shirt.
In between seasons a graphic tee works really well under a bomber or denim jacket. A white graphic T-shirt gives contrast under a dark jacket.
A dark green graphic T-shirt with beige or olive trousers is a calm tonal look that feels grown-up.
Two prints at once: print on print gets busy fast. Choose one print per outfit. Going too big: a shirt that is far too large makes the print sag. Faded colours: a washed-out shirt makes any print look cheap.
Wash your T-shirt inside out at a low temperature and let it air dry. Never iron directly over the print. That keeps it sharp for longer.
