Summer Trend Prediction 2025: The Graphic Tee is Back!

So I used to be all about revamping my style after the festival season hit in summer. I thought, “Yeah, perfect time to try new things!” But honestly? The crazy up-and-down weather always throws a wrench in my plans. I end up in this total style rut, constantly glued to my weather app, stressing about what to wear the next day. And then, half the season is gone because I’m busy decluttering and organizing my closet! Honestly, sometimes I just want to wear a comfy monster t shirt and call it a day until things stabilize.

This year, though, I’m getting ahead of the game. Summer prep is officially in full swing. First thing on my list? Nail that rocker vibe. Seriously, the warmer months just scream “graphic tee creativity,” you know?

My social media feeds – Reels, TikTok, Pinterest– have been blowing up with creators showing off their post-festival looks with graphic tees. Are they coming back? It’s so visually satisfying, and I’m totally trying to capture that feeling in my own wardrobe. I went totally down a rabbit hole looking for bright and fun inspo for the season, and guess what? I found the perfect place to snag some seriously cool and unique graphic tees that are gonna stand out. I’m so ready for this!

Okay, so the store, ClassyOutlaw, just called. 

Yeah, from the name, it sounds like they’re into that cool vibe where you look all put-together, but there’s still something a little different about your style, you know? Like, cool stuff but with a bit of punk. I bet they’d even have some funny graphic tees that add that unexpected style to a more rebellion in your look, I’m so here for it!

And get this – apparently, that could even mean any kind of monster tee with some interesting designs. So, not just your run-of-the-mill scary monster, but maybe something artistic, funny, or just plain weird in a cool way. It fits that “unexpected details” idea, right?

Now I’m thinking about how to style their stuff, especially those graphic tees they’ll probably have based on the summer 2025 trends. Honestly, I’m also kind of hoping they have some really weird shirts in the mix – you know, the kind that are a little out there but totally cool? Either way, I’ve already got a little wishlist brewing in my head!

So, apparently, for summer 2025, graphic tees are gonna be big, and here’s how I’m styling them:

White Graphic Tee, Layered Up (Korean Style)

I’m totally seeing a white graphic tee from them, maybe with a cool but subtle design. I’d throw it over a flowy lace skirt for that sweet and edgy Korean style. Then, comfy loose jeans underneath for that layered. I wouldn’t be surprised if they even had some really unique graphic tees, maybe even some cool yokai t shirts with those awesome Japanese monster designs, mixed in with more classic pieces.

Black Graphic Tee, Y2K Throwback

Oh yeah, gotta go back to the 2000s! If ClassyOutlaw has a black graphic tee with maybe a vintage graphic logo or something, I’d pair it with a plaid mini flare skirt – the shorter the better for that true Y2K feel. And of course, chunky platform shoes are a must for a classic look.

White Tee Goes Ballerina Chic

This one sounds fun! A simple white tee from them would look so chic with a balloon skirt or even just a really soft, A-line midi skirt. Mary janes are a given, and maybe a chic cardigan or a wrap top layered over the tee. 

Short Jeans and High-Knee Platforms

For dressed-up casual, I’d take one of their graphic tees – maybe even one of those cool psychedelic t shirts for that extra pop – pair of stylish short jeans (not too distressed, maybe a clean cut). Then, bam! High platform shoes or wedges to elevate the whole look. It’s chic but still comfy for summer.

Washed Tee with a Pop of Color

I love this idea! Imagine a cool, slightly faded graphic tee from ClassyOutlaw. I’d keep the outfit simple with maybe some neutral bottoms, but then go all out with colorful accessories. Think green sneakers and a matching crossbody bag. It’s all about that playful contrast.

Bermuda Jeans and a Basic Tee

For those super chill days, a basic graphic tee from them would look perfect with a pair of Bermuda jeans. This is such an easy, classy and trendy look. I’d probably add some sneakers and  a shoulder bag.
