Graphic Tees Are The New Basic Item

Ordinary has just become extraordinary! Basic tees are getting a makeover ... screen printing has taken over the look of the female face and incorporated it into your basic, everyday t-shirts, creating a new hype for graphic tees. This graphic face trend has people eyeballing you, even from a distance, just to figure out what kind of design you have on your shirt. You'll have people wondering if you're sporting an old school vintage band tee or a cartoon character - and we all want attention for our fabulous wardrobe, don't we? Graphic face screenprints are the latest buzz in t-shirts, so make something of it and hop on board!

Female faces come in a variety of designs, everything from a single face screenprint on the tee, to a face encircled by other detailing. Printing techniques seem to vary as well; some shirts seem to have a stamped look, while others are be-jeweled, and still others look hand-drawn. Graphic face tees bring a new twist to your everyday t-shirt, and they assure that you won't feel like you're just wearing your sweats when you throw one on.  They can be extremely versatile, as you can wear one with your basic jeans or throw one on with a skirt and some wedges.  They're the perfect addition to a diva's must-have wardrobe!

The Graphic Face Trend Works For Everyone!

Luckily, pretty much everyone can pull off a basic tee - so this is a win-win situation! You just have to decide what look you feel like portraying with your graphic face tee, be it rocker, vintage, or mod. 

• Vintage:  I strongly prefer crewneck distressed cotton tees if you're looking to go vintage – the graphic stands out more against this. Fergie has already mastered this look above, and you can replicate it with the Grow Modern Lux Vintage Tee from Target! 
• Mod:  If you're feeling a little mod, try a graphic face tee with primary colors like yellow, blue, and red - the Debbie Harry Tee above is perfect for this look. 
• Fashionable:  If you're looking for something a little more fashion-forward, then you're in luck!  Graphic faces have conquered trendier cuts like boat neck, off the shoulder, unfinished frayed sleeves, etc. and look more fashionable than your everyday t-shirt. Try the Bejeweled Girl Top to get this diva look!

With all of that settled, what are you waiting for? Are you a go for this spectacular trend?
