We Can’t Get Enough of Graphic Tees—Here’s How We Are Styling Lu's Graphic Tees with Boutique Clothing

Graphic tees have always been an Artistic Works by Lu wardrobe go-to for styling a chic boutique fashion outfit. We're so glad in 2025, they’re having a serious fashion moment. No longer just for lounging or lazy-day errands, today’s ladies’ graphic tees are chic, expressive, and surprisingly versatile. Whether it’s a western style, thoughtful words, or vintage-inspired print, women’s graphic tees are a way to make your boutique fashion looks stand out and be seen.

Lu brings in graphic tees from around the country to compliment her unique handmade jewelry designs and other boutique clothing fashions. She keeps in mind versatility, color, texture, length and shape when she looks for the next graphic tees to bring into our online store, Leavenworth, KS boutique or our boutique in Springfield, MO!

Let's dive into Lu's style tips for graphic tees in 2025!

1. Keep It Casual with Leisurewear & Sneakers

For an easy, everyday outfit that still looks pulled together, pair your favorite graphic tee with leisurewear essentials like our LU Leisure pants or a comfy short. Think soft textured pants with drawstring waist and pockets! Our LU Leisure pants come in several colors and styles that will match almost any graphic tee. Pair with tennis shoes or sandals. If you want to go extra sporty - top it off with a baseball cap. If you want to lean a little preppy - add in a soft and gentle sweater layered over the shoulders and tied around the chest. This is the kind of outfit that works perfectly for weekend errands, road trips, your kids ball games or grabbing coffee with friends!

2. Add Some Edge to your Graphic Tee with Layers, Boots & Bold Handmade Jewelry

Want to give your graphic tee a little extra flair? Try layering it under an oversized button-up or flannel shirt, paired with jeans, LU leisure pants or a skirt and a great pair of ankle boots. You can take the same graphic tee shirt and create looks like lean more rocker, more western, more preppy or more put-together just by adding in a different button up. To finish the look, layer on Lu’s handmade jewelry—necklaces, bracelets, or a big statement ring. These handmade jewelry designs instantly elevate your tee from basic to boutique-chic. This style is perfect for shopping days, casual date nights, or anytime you want to show up feeling confident and cool.

3. Go Street-Style with Cargo Pants, Chunky Boots and Graphic Tee

One of the bolder trends we’re loving this year is the cargo pant and graphic tee combo. Tuck in your tee, add a slim or cropped long-sleeve shirt underneath for a layered effect, and throw on a pair of chunky boots. Lu is loving the army camo cargo pants or barrel pants with her white dock marten boots. The result is a fashion-forward outfit that is on-trend. If you’re searching for "boutique near me" and find yourselves at our Leavenworth, KS boutique or boutique in Springfield, Mo be sure to ask us how we style women’s graphic tees with cargo pants for a little everyday edge. It’s a fun way to play with trends while still keeping the look grounded.

4. Elevate your Graphic Tee with a Vest or Blazer

If you're looking for a more polished way to wear your graphic tee then look no further than a trusty blazer or trendy boutiqe vest to create that perfect high/low look. It’s a Lu-inspired style trick we love: blending the relaxed feel of a tee with the structure of a classic piece. Add trousers or dark denim, simple heels or ankle boots, and some of Lu's standout handmade jewelry designs to tie it all together. It’s modern and classy enough for the office and casual enough for an errand.
