What are your favorite things about fall? Tailgating, pumpkin-spice lattes, and cozy socks are some of mine.
When it comes to fall fashion, graphic tees are my current crush. They are a staple for transitioning into cooler weather and the next style season. You can show off cute phrases or pictures that express yourself and truly make them part of your personal style. They pair nicely with shorts and skirts of all lengths and layer well under jackets when the sun goes down.
Making a complete look with a graphic tee is a master fashionista move. Wear a statement denim piece on bottom, like colored, frayed-hem or flare-leg jeans jeans — or why not all three? Then, you add the luxe, and it’s all about the fabrics. Mary Jane flats or loafers in suede or velvet elevate your look.
To complete the ensemble, shrugs and bolero jackets do not overwhelm you or hide your graphic tee. Look for toppers made with cashmere, tweed, or satin. Your jewelry should pick up colors in the tee to make the look cohesive.
Mixing casual pieces with luxe fabrics says, “I know how to dress.” A big plus is that you can have fun picking out the tees and building the outfit around them. Stay and look cool simultaneously this fall in a look that combines comfort and glam.
