Consider graphic t-shirts the longtime wardrobe staple of the openly chic-relaxed look. Loudly stamped with a bold phrase or visual, they have spent most of their history relegated to the bottom drawer. Designated for gym or stay-home Sundays, these were not taken into consideration. But lately a few design houses have given them a new life to an off-duty staple.

Models rocked out onto the runway with the house’s name emblazoned on their casualwear shirts under a sleek, fitted blazer. A graphic tee can easily be the focus of a chic ensemble. Just consider its own personality and attitude.
