The name of the game is “balance” when it comes to acing graphic clothing and fashion!
Graphic clothing makes a statement. But if you’re a lover of graphic clothing, that statement can sometimes come out as very confusing, especially if you’ve paired a loud pair of jeans with an equally artistic t-shirt.
So, how do you create this balance when donning your favorite clothes? Here are some fashion tips I’ve come to know as a fashion designer in New Jersey.
Stick to the Classics
If you’re wearing a graphic tee, pairing it with denim and a jacket would go over nicely. Graphic t-shirts are the star attraction, so surrounding them with more color or drama will take away from their look.
Give it Center-Stage
Have a simple graphic outfit? Use another statement piece to bring out the fierceness of the design. For example, if you’re wearing a basic logo t-shirt, wearing a statement jacket or coat will bring the design to a whole new level.
90’s Nostalgia
Let’s say you’re wearing a dress from the women’s wearable art selection designed by yours truly. With something like a two-piece outfit, top and dress, the best way to boost your style is to take inspiration from the 90s. Pair a denim jacket with the graphic style outfit, contrasting chunky boots with a dress to bring out the bright hues!
Make it Edgy
Think of it as a black frame encasing your graphic style outfit! Black jackets or coats work well with graphic dresses because they enhance the starkness of the colors against a dark black canvas. Use that to your advantage.
Dial it Down
Is your outfit art in wearable form? Dial down your natural style and wear neutral accessories and simple jewelry. No long necklaces, dramatic heels, or statement sneakers. Wearable art is a statement in itself. Allow it to shine.
Make One Color the Star of the Show
For example, let’s say you’re wearing a stunning art dress from my collection. Use a single dominating color to elevate the overall style. Wear matching footwear, tone down the accessories and let that dress speak for itself.
Follow Your Inspiration
If you love graphic wear, you’ll most likely come across a fashion emergency sooner or later. Use the above tips to your advantage. Wear your graphic fashion in all its glory. But don’t let it overwhelm all your other pieces. You’ll find yourself receiving a lot more compliments for your unique style and your sense of fashion!
