How to Style a Black Superhero Graphic Tee | With Smart Track Pants

Black graphic tee with Panama hat, khaki track pants, strappy platforms

This is one of my signature styles: Lots of rich neutrals and textures; quite tomboyish; a graphic tee or bold print; denim or chinos; a cap or hat. I'll often reach for the masculine chic look on the weekend, but try to throw in at least one small feminine element, like a heel or a pretty scarf.

Here I started with the graphic tee - an Obama hero t-shirt I bought in NYC many years ago.

I'd never worn it before (I was actually keeping it as a souvenir), but as I was doing the graphic tee themed day for #iwillwearwhatilike on Instagram I was actually hunting for my Duran Duran 1983 tour t-shirt - and found this instead. It only needed these khaki track pants from Marks & Spencer (yes, M&S again!), a Panama, heels and - the likes of which I have a serious "thing" for right now - blue mirrored aviators.

I've done this style in various guises over the years - you'll see what I mean looking at these versions:

So you can see there are various key pieces that pop up again and again... See what I mean about a style? I hadn't realised it before now but it's interesting to see how my outfits have evolved over the years yet remained true to my personal style.

Then there's the fit-and-flare dresses with heels, but that's a whole other story.
