You might be surprised by this unexpected French girl staple, but it’s key to crafting that casual yet put-together look. Here’s how French girls wear graphic tees and how you can rock them like a Parisian girl too!

Graphic Tees | How to Wear The Unexpected French Girl Staple

1. Tucked into high waisted jeans
This outfit idea is so simple but totally worth doing. Tucking in your shirt slims your waist and makes you look more put together!

2. With a matching suit set
When you mix casual with business, you get such a fun outcome! Wear your graphic tee with a matching suit set, but no worries if you don’t have one. A blazer and jeans combo will still look great. Throw some sneakers on and you’re good to go!

3. With a pendant necklace
Even though graphic tees are generally casual, you can easily elevate them when you add jewelry to your look. Pendant necklaces also happen to be a French girl staple, so you can’t really go wrong here!

4. With heels
Dress those t-shirts up, girl! Whether you choose to pair your graphic tee with a low block heel or a full-on stiletto, you rock the “cute but not trying too hard” look.

5. Show off your accessories
Time to layer on the accessories! If you have a cool belt, half-tuck in your shirt to show it off. Don’t forget your sunglasses, bracelets, and earrings too. Consider finishing your look off with casual type shoes, like summer espadrilles, to balance out the outfit.
