Comeback Alert: The T-Shirt Trend Every Millennial Owned Multiple Versions Of
These celebs say it's back.
As a Gen Zer who loves a nostalgic trend, I'm really into the millennial-coded T-shirt trend that fashion people and celebrities are into. We've all probably worn it here and there over the years. It's laid-back and sometimes funny if you let it be, and it can be really cool when styled right. I'm talking about graphic T-shirts. They have seemingly come out of nowhere, with celebs Bella Hadid and Jennifer Lawrence and style connoisseurs Alexa Chung and Gabriella Karefa-Johnson sporting it while out and about.
Influencers from NYC to L.A. have also been wearing graphic tees in interesting ways. They are styling them with sheer skirts and flip-flops, long shorts and sneakers, or miniskirts and heels. It's refreshing to see the fashion set styling a not-so-serious trend and making it look cool and chic in their own way. If you're looking for ways to make your graphic tees look more stylish or are on the hunt for a cool graphic tee, keep scrolling for outfit inspiration and to shop fun and fashionable graphic tees that fit your personal style.
