Most of these graphic t-shirts feature clean and straight lines along the shoulders. In addition, these vintage shirts fall straight down over the body and make any body type look flattering.
Depending on your body type, selecting properly and styling the details really helps you to look good in any graphic tees.
For a curvy or large bust, simply pair a boyfriend blazer over the top of vintage graphic tees. This will help to create structure and vertical lines, which will make you look longer and distract the focus.
For petite, wear a midi length skirt or jeans that hit below the knee or even high-waisted jeans to elongate your body. This creates the illusion of longer legs.
For small bust, bigger graphic designs are better. As a result, this adds dimension to your chest and creates more volume. In addition, stay minimalist in the bottom and footwear if you choose loud vintage t-shirt designs.
For the athletic figure, either go with cropped length graphic tees or simply tie a knot. Pair with high waisted jeans for a peek-a-boo effect to emphasize your waistline.
For broad shoulder figure, always go with a scoop neckline tee. Adding a cute choker or statement necklace helps to transition the point of interest to the neckline instead of the shoulders.
