Fall Style Guide
3 Graphic Tee Outfits to Wear This Fall
Three easy outfit formulas for cool mornings, sunny afternoons, and all the fall plans in between.
Fall gives your favorite graphic tees a whole new job. Instead of tossing one on with shorts and calling it a day, you can start playing with printed pants, long skirts, denim, sweaters, and boots.
The trick is giving the tee a little more texture and weight around it. A flowy pant makes it feel more relaxed. A maxi skirt adds movement. Overalls give you an extra layer without reaching for a heavy jacket.
Here are three ways to do it.
Go a Little Wild With Leopard
Start with the The Nest Desert Soul Graphic Tee in Espresso. The warm brown color already feels right at home in a fall palette, while the western-inspired eagle graphic gives the outfit plenty of personality. It’s a cotton tee with a relaxed fit and classic crew neckline, so it works well when you want your bottom half to do more of the talking.
Pair it with the Wild Love Pants in Leopard. Their relaxed wide-leg shape balances the tee, while the elastic waistband, drawstring tie, and lace trim add detail without making the outfit feel fussy.
Since leopard and the tee graphic are both doing something visually, keep the rest grounded. Try brown ankle boots or worn-in clogs, a simple crossbody bag, and a few silver rings. If the morning is cold, throw on a faded denim jacket and take it off once the afternoon warms up.
This is a fun choice for a farmers market, coffee run, outdoor lunch, or one of those Saturdays when you’ve got three stops to make and don’t want to change between them.

Mix Soft Layers With a Long Skirt
For an outfit with more layers, start with the Be Kind Mineral Washed Graphic Tee. The charcoal mineral wash gives it a worn-in look, while the leopard butterfly graphic brings in another print without covering the whole tee. Its oversized fit also gives you room to play with a front tuck or leave it loose.
Then add the Washed Ashore Ruffled Maxi Skirt in Olive. The wide smocked waistband makes a front tuck easy, and the tiered ruffle details give the skirt plenty of movement. The olive and charcoal combination feels earthy without becoming too matchy.
Once temperatures start dropping, layer on the Wrapped In Stars Oversized Cardigan. The gray knit has an oversized shape, long drop-shoulder sleeves, star details, buttons, and patch pockets. That extra layer gives the long skirt outfit enough warmth for a crisp morning without hiding the tee underneath.
Finish with ankle boots or clogs. A small leather crossbody keeps your hands free if you’re walking around an outdoor market, browsing antique shops, or heading out for an early dinner. On warmer afternoons, carry the cardigan instead of wearing it.

Put Your Graphic Tee Under Overalls
Some fall days call for an outfit you can put on fast and forget about. That’s where overalls come in.
The Mountains Are Calling Graphic Tee makes a great first layer because the ivory color keeps the look light against blue denim. It has a relaxed shape, dropped shoulders, distressed details around the neckline, cuffs, and hem, plus a horse and mountain graphic that peeks out nicely above the bib.
Layer the tee underneath the High Hopes Floral Slouchy Denim Overalls. Their relaxed wide-leg shape, cropped length, adjustable straps, side button closures, and bib pocket keep the outfit casual, while the floral denim gives it more detail than a basic blue pair.
Add high-top sneakers if you’ll be doing a lot of walking. Ankle boots work when you want the outfit to feel a little more autumnal. On colder days, add a rust, brown, or olive cardigan over everything and let the overalls peek out underneath.
Wear this one to the pumpkin patch, school drop-off, a weekend road trip, or a long afternoon outside. It’s playful without feeling costume-y, and you’ve still got plenty of room to layer when the weather changes.

The Fall Takeaway
The Easy Way to Bring Graphic Tees Into Fall
You don’t need to pack away your tees once summer ends. Fall is actually one of the best times to wear them because you have more pieces to mix around them.
Pair a brown graphic with animal print. Put charcoal next to olive and soft gray. Let an ivory tee break up blue denim. Then add the layer your weather calls for.
A cardigan handles cool mornings. Boots give a flowy outfit more weight. Sneakers make sense when you know you’ll be walking all afternoon.
Start with the graphic tee you want to wear, then build the rest of the outfit around its color, graphic, and mood.
