Bright patterned tees are a summer staple for me. A bright, patterned tee with a pair of jeans and cardi is a classic casual outfit for me from Autumn to Spring.
Some of my favourite tees are from Gorman, Elm, Bohemian Traders and Kmart.
Wearing Elm Tee
Polka dots, florals, stripes, abstract or geometric patterns – all of them are in my wardrobe and are worn on high rotation throughout the year.
In summer, my tees are worn with a pair of shorts.
In autumn, winter and spring, I layer a cardigan or jacket over my tees and wear them with jeans. The outfit is complete with a pair of canvas shoes or my Frankie4 Nats.
I love wearing a bright patterned tee because it’s a way to show my personality and one of the ways I love to wear colour in my outfit. I usually will have a bold earring to match with my tee.
There are so many gorgeous patterned tees coming out for spring and summer. There are a variety to suit each budget.
From my experience, the brands I’ve featured in my curation below have worn well – even after wearing them on high rotation and going through the wash multiple times. There’s nothing worse than buying a patterned tee and finding the pattern fades, runs or the tee shrinks in the wash.
I’ve found the Gorman tees for this season are cropped shorter. I’m not a fan of cropped tees as I like a little extra length to cover over my lower tummy. The one I featured is the normal length that I’m used to.
I just bought this tee on Tuesday, on sale. It was the only tee left in that pattern and in my size (yay!). I was pleased to add it to my collection. My Witchery cardigan matches perfectly.
