Years ago, well before I started blogging, I was super into graphic tees. I had a huge collection, but I only ever wore them very, very casually with jeans, flats, and a cardigan. Little did I know they could also be dressed up, made softened or tough, or be glammed up–if you have the right one.
You can get them in black or grey and in v-necks, crewnecks, baseball tees, tanks, hoodies, and more. They’re suuuuuper soft, made in the USA, and on top of it all The Home T donates 10% of their profits to multiple sclerosis research. I love repping my home state, but I love even more that it contributes to bettering the world!
(For sizing and care info see very bottom of post.)
The first look is super casual and comfy for fall with booties and a patterned sweater cardigan. This version or the look I linked to earlier on Instagram with my white perforated sneakers is my favorite for being on-the-go. The graphic tee plus some “real” shoes make the outfit cool and stylish, but you’re just in jeans and a t-shirt!

Next up is a softer look with lighter colors and pastels. Color palette aside, you can try pairing this tee with a skirt, whether a-line or pencil or some other shape. I was thinking of pairing it with my black and white striped jersey pencil skirt and tan flats or black leather skirt with cobalt pumps too.

The Small is about 27″ from the shoulder to the hem. That’s pretty long for me as I have a short torso, but I either fold it up (like last outfit pic) or just let it bunch up at my hips (first outfit pics) and somehow with this tee, letting it bunch actually looks fine whereas that’s not the case with other tees.
They make crewnecks as well, but as for the v-neck, the neckline is on the higher end which is actually great for my smaller chest. Usually my chest doesn’t fill out shirts and when I bend over you can see down my shirt entirely (which is why I tend to wear camis under everything), but that’s not a problem with The Home T!
It’s 50% cotton, 50% polyester. Machine wash cold and tumble dry low. I’ve washed and dried it in the machine and have not had problems with shrinking.
Overall, I TOTALLY, TOTALLY, TOTALLY recommend this shirt if you are thinking about it at all! Head over to Home T and take a look!
P.S. For my fellow Californians, there’s also a tee that says, “hella” instead of “home” right HERE. As a Bay Area native, it was hella hard for me to resist that one! 😉
