The Best Classic and Graphic Tees

May 12, 2023

I don't know about your local climate, but North Carolina is warming up!! And as the weather is shifting, my wardrobe is following suit. Enter in all of the classic and graphic tees! I've collected a few favorites over the years, but I think my tried and true is something loose, boxy, and always a crewneck. As far as the cut, I either swing between a crop or oversized. There's not much of an in-between, which must mean something? Anyway, I wanted to show you some of my favorite classic crewneck tees and graphic tees!

My Favorite Classic Tees

T-shirt | Jeans | Sambas

Starting with this Essential Easy Tee that I have in 3 different colors! You can't beat the price, and I love the casual everyday fit. So comfy and cute.

Here it is in white!

This black tee is another favorite and is a step up in quality (and price), but well worth it. Slightly different shorter sleeve, which I also love!

Here are so many more that I've worn and tested, along with some I have my eyes on.

My Favorite Graphic Tees

Outfit Sources

Graphic tees can be dangerous territory. There are people out there who might quiz if you wear a shirt sporting a band, team, or place. I'm in the camp of "let's not gatekeep what people wear," so go ahead and buy the cute Nashville shirt, even if it's not your favorite place on earth. My graphic tee collection is small and growing, and I'm definitely snagging a few more from the round-up below.

  1. Is the essential easy tee true to size? I’m usually an XS but I’d like it to not be too fitted. Love the fit on you!

My Storage Hack for Organizing Christmas Decorations

Every year when I pack up the decorations after Christmas, I collect all of the garlands together in one box, I get all the candlesticks together in another box, and all my nativity sets go into their own box. We label the boxes "garlands," "candles," "nativity sets,"...which seems great until you remember that you have […]

There's nothing worse when I'm out on a fun holiday outing taking video memories of my family, and I see that red light. Or I'm traveling and stuck in the airport on a layover...it gives me anxiety! I've tried […]
