How to Pick the Perfect Graphic Tee for Your Personal Style

Graphic tees are more than just clothing—they're a reflection of your personality, values, and lifestyle. The right graphic tee doesn’t just catch the eye; it tells a story, sparks conversation, and helps you stand out in the best way. Whether you're into outdoor adventure, laid-back weekend vibes, or vintage-inspired looks, there’s a graphic shirt that fits your life.

At Nuthin Fancy Co., we craft tees that align with real people and real experiences. From hunting-inspired designs to bold logos and heritage prints, our lineup was built to let you express yourself—without saying a word.

Here’s how to pick the perfect graphic tee for your style, vibe, and daily routine.

Step 1: Identify What You Want to Say

Graphic tees make statements—subtle or bold. What do you want yours to say?

Nature lover? Look for outdoor themes, camo prints, or wildlife graphics
Patriot or heritage-inspired? Seek out vintage fonts, flags, or Americana prints
Weekend warrior? Try relaxed designs with humorous or chill messaging
Bold and expressive? Choose high-contrast or large front graphics
Laid-back minimalist? Opt for chest prints or faded styles that keep it clean

Your tee should feel like an extension of your interests, not just a cool design.

Step 2: Choose the Fit That Matches Your Lifestyle

Graphic tees come in a range of fits—from slim and structured to relaxed and roomy. Your lifestyle and wardrobe should guide your choice.

Active lifestyle: Look for tri-blends or performance cotton with stretch
Casual daily wear: Go for standard or relaxed fits in soft-washed fabrics
Layering staple: Choose midweight shirts that hold up under hoodies and jackets

All Nuthin Fancy Co. tees, like the Treestand Tee or Plain Jane Tee, are designed with breathable fabric and a flattering fit that works in any setting—from trail to tailgate.

Step 3: Match It with What You Already Wear

A graphic tee should complement the rest of your wardrobe. Think about how it’ll fit into your go-to outfits:

With jeans and boots: Pick bold prints and heritage logos
With joggers or shorts: Choose playful or laid-back designs
Under a flannel or hoodie: Go for chest logos or medium-scale prints
With camo outerwear: Stick to neutrals or classic outdoorsman themes

A good tee is one you can throw on without thinking and still feel put together.

Step 4: Consider the Colors That Work for You

The best tees don’t just look good—they look good on you. Here’s how to think about color:

Dark graphics: Great for subtle styling and fall/winter fits
Light/bright colors: Perfect for summer and sunny days
Neutral shades: Easy to match, year-round options
Camo prints: Timeless for outdoor wear

Our shirts like the Greenleaf Tee give you outdoor-ready color palettes that work in the field, in town, or anywhere in between.

Step 5: Know When to Go Bold and When to Keep It Simple

Graphic tees can be loud—or they can speak quietly. Your mood, setting, and company can help you decide when to turn up the volume or tone it down.

Bold days: Pick full-back graphics or vintage-style art
Simple fits: Stick to small front prints or washed-out color schemes
Statement looks: Pair with flannels, boots, and structured hats
Everyday wear: A soft tee with mid-sized chest design is always a safe bet

The Nashman Tee is a great example of balanced boldness, while the Freebird Tee leans into vintage-inspired edge.

Bonus: Graphic Tee Do’s and Don’ts

Do:

Wash inside out to protect prints
Pair with contrasting textures like denim or corduroy
Roll sleeves or tuck in to customize your fit

Don’t:

Over-layer bold prints with more loud patterns
Size down too much—graphic tees should breathe
Ignore your personal style just to follow trends
