What are Women's Graphic Tees and how to wear them

They say trends come and go. Others argue that today's fashion is timeless and that nothing truly ends, but rather reinvents itself. Perhaps this is the case with women's graphic tees, which are t-shirts with graphic prints that every woman has in her wardrobe. – Don't tell me you don't have one! – And yes, we're saying they're back – and in full force – because they are very versatile and can be incorporated into any setting.

But before showing you how to combine your graphic tee with a formal setting (why not?), let's explain what this style is and where it came from.

Women's Graphic Tees: Origin

First, it's important to remember that the t-shirt was created over a century ago, more precisely during World War I, when U.S. soldiers needed to adapt the wool shirts worn under their uniforms to a cooler and more comfortable knitted item.

These t-shirts underwent several transformations over the years, but the basic T-shape always remained the same, hence the name: t-shirt. Until the 1960s, they were only made in solid colors, without many details, and furthermore, only men wore them.

With the counterculture movement promoted by young people in the 70s, also marked by the Woodstock Festival, t-shirts gained prints and slogans, which culminated in what is now called women's graphic tees. Oh! And after women also started wearing them, the habit never faded.

What Makes Women's Graphic Tees a Constantly Revitalized Style?

Women's graphic tees are styles whose only rule is to feature some kind of print, phrase, or design. This means they can be made from many options of fabrics, colors, and sizes. Therefore, they tend to be versatile, combining with various occasions and environments, even corporate ones, where companies often create their own graphic tees for employees to wear, showcasing the brand.

It's important to understand that while those old styles of women's graphic tees you flaunt in your wardrobe may not always make sense today, most can be reinserted into a contemporary context, especially those with cultural prints, whether from music, art, cinema, or even phrases with political and social reflections. Another important point is that graphic tees can be gender-neutral, worn by both men and women, especially oversized ones – which are looser.

The good news is that there's no shortage of current women's graphic tee options to vary your look. Furthermore, a study by a European university published in the “Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin” states that these t-shirts can make a person more sexually attractive. Just a tip!

Therefore, women's graphic tees with large or small prints, on the front or back, can be worn with everything, from blazers to shorts, from tailoring to denim overalls... and don't overthink it, because you won't find any piece that looks bad with a graphic tee. Simply dare and wear it!
