This Is the 2026 Way to Wear a Graphic Tee, Hands Down
See how Ayo Edebiri styles it.
Ayo Edebiri is by far one of the best-dressed stars in Hollywood, and I don’t just mean on the red carpet. She's become known for having cool-girl style off-duty as well. She’s often seen in casual outfits with a sophisticated air about them, even when wearing a graphic tee, which she's shown that she loves to wear. For example, Edebiri was just out and about in NYC wearing a long-sleeve Björk graphic tee. However, her look wasn’t just a regular graphic-tee outfit. Contrarily, the look she assembled was quite chic and elevated.
Edebiri styled her graphic tee with a pair of black tailored pants from Still Kelly and black heeled thong sandals from Staud, which have become one of summer’s most popular shoe trends. She accessorized with a Chanel calf-hair polka-dot bag and black sunglasses for an ultimate It-girl ensemble. I wouldn’t be going out on a limb by saying Edebiri has mastered the dressy-casual way to wear a graphic tee in 2026. She looks effortless, chic, and put together all in one.
