A graphic shirt can add some personality and individuality to your outfit. Graphic tops have seen a resurgence in their popularity, with many people mixing different patterns and prints in one outfit.

Some graphic tops have large, bold pictures on the front with funny captions, or pictures of scenery and celebrities like Marilyn Monroe. Many popular graphic shirts have prints on them that can be wild, including tribal patterns or a kaleidoscope of colors.

Look at the shirts you are drawn to in the store and make sure not to force anything just because it is on trend. This will lead you to purchasing something that you won’t wear because it just isn’t you.

For those who tend to be more conservative, graphic tops  can be worn to make a statement in your outfit rather than trying to mix it with other prints or patterns. Graphic shirts can be dressed up or down. Pairing one with jeans allows your shirt to do the talking whereas wearing it under a blazer can add a punch of attitude to your otherwise reserved outfit.

Since graphic shirts go in and out of style and your own tastes change, it is suggested that you don’t spend a pretty penny on the shirt. Instead look at more inexpensive stores like Urban Planet or Forever 21 and buy a couple to work into your wardrobe.

Graphic shirts generally cost at these stores between $7 and $30, so it won’t be a huge loss if you decide you don’t like it for the next season.
