When I say this is my uniform, I mean it!

Learning how to style a graphic tee with a blazer has been my secret to making everyday outfits feel fresh. Denim, a women’s graphic tee, and a vintage blazer - that’s my go-to combo pretty much every day. Why? Because it’s classic, comfortable, and has just enough edge to keep things fun! 💋

Here's how I like to switch it up:

Styling a Graphic Tee with a Leather Blazer

A white leather blazer might sound bold, but paired with a women’s graphic tee it instantly feels wearable. The blazer gives structure and polish, while the tee keeps things relaxed and playful. It’s that balance - classic lines with a pop of personality - that makes this combo my everyday uniform.

I love how the Blue Leopard Tee looks under white leather: the sky blue and yellow eyes stand out even more against the clean backdrop. Add denim and sneakers for daytime, or swap to heels and a clutch to make it dinner-ready.

How to Wear a Graphic Tee with a Cropped Blazer

A cropped blazer is all about proportion - it draws the eye to your waist and adds instant polish. That’s why it pairs so well with a women’s graphic tee that’s versatile enough to wear tucked or untucked. Tucking the tee highlights the blazer’s sharp cut for a more styled look, while leaving it out keeps things laid-back and easy.

Here, I’m wearing the Cosmic Tiger Tee under a vintage pink cropped blazer. With high-rise denim and a belt, the tuck really pulls it together - but the same combo untucked works just as well for a casual, weekend feel. That’s the beauty of a tee you can wear both ways: it slips into whatever mood you’re in.

Pairing a Graphic Tee with a Denim Blazer

A denim blazer is one of those pieces that works year-round - polished enough for structure but still casual at heart. It’s the perfect match for a women’s graphic tee, because the textures play off each other: rugged denim with the soft cotton tee.

The versatility here is all in the details. Tuck in your tee with high-rise jeans for a pulled-together, monochrome denim-on-denim moment, or leave it untucked for an easy, off-duty vibe. The denim blazer grounds a bold print, letting the graphic be the star.

Oversized Blazer + Graphic Tee Idea

An oversized blazer is that piece you can throw on with anything, but it always looks intentional. The looser cut brings comfort and a touch of nonchalance, while pairing it with a women’s graphic tee keeps the look grounded in personality.

Here, I styled the Cosmic Tiger Tee under a mustard oversized blazer. Tucked into denim, the tee helps balance out the volume of the blazer, but it works just as easily untucked when you want that lived-in, slouchy vibe. It’s the kind of combo that feels pulled together without trying too hard - proof that the right graphic tee slips into every mood.

Graphic Tee and Summer Blazer Outfit

Who says blazers are just for cooler months? Throwing one over a women’s graphic tee and shorts is my go-to trick for summer. The blazer adds structure and polish up top, while the shorts keep everything light and laid-back - it’s the best of both worlds.

Here, I paired our Pink Leopard Tee with a bright red blazer and denim cutoffs. The tucked-in tee balances the proportions, while the shorts make it playful and warm-weather ready. Add sneakers or boots, and you’ve got an outfit that feels put together without losing its easy summer vibe.

Quick Styling Tips for Tees + Blazers

  • Balance proportions: A cropped blazer works best with a tucked-in women’s graphic tee, while an oversized blazer looks great with the tee left loose for contrast.

  • Play with texture: Leather adds edge, denim keeps it casual, and suiting fabrics elevate the look - all while letting your graphic tee ground the outfit.

  • Switch up the season: In summer, pair your blazer with shorts and sneakers; in cooler months, layer over denim or trousers with boots.

  • Let the graphic lead: Keep the rest of your outfit simple and let the print do the talking - it’s what makes each look feel personal.

Bringing It All Together

From leather to denim, cropped to oversized, a blazer is the easiest way to elevate a women’s graphic tee - and the styling options are endless. Whether you tuck it in for polish or let it hang loose for ease, the right tee slips into every mood and makes each outfit feel personal.
