It’s time to dig out your graphic tees from the back of your closet and give them a good dusting because this trend has returned with a vengeance. Yes, you read that right! The piece of clothing you essentially lived in during your teenage years has made its way back onto the streets and into the stores. The important thing, however, is to remember that we’re no longer living in the year 2000.
Here, Savoir Flair presents three different (and very grown-up) ways to pull off the graphic tee, taking you from work to play in no time.
Wrap Superstar
When paired with a wrap skirt and pumps (or mules), a graphic T-shirt becomes office appropriate and exudes an “I don’t take myself too seriously” vibe. Switch to loafers to wind down after work.

Flare Up
Go for a boho-meets-rock look with a graphic T-shirt by reaching for embellishments and items made with luxe materials like velvet. Throw on an oversized blazer during the day for boardroom meetings and then, come nighttime, you have the option of tying it around your waist.
