Dua and Simone Wore Graphic Tees with Denim Shorts in the Chicest Way

Okay, bear with me. I know this combo isn’t new, but I haven’t seen it much lately—and honestly, I’ve missed it. While swishy white skirts and classic tees have been front and centre this summer, the graphic T-shirt and denim shorts pairing is currently making a comeback. And it looks just as good as ever.

With a slight ’80s edge and an effortlessly cool vibe, the combo feels relaxed but put-together—exactly what you want in a summer outfit. And this week, two of my favourite celebrities gave it their stamp of approval.

Simone Ashley styled a vintage Backstreet Boys tee with high-waisted denim shorts, pulled together with a black leather belt. Simple? Yes—but the accessories made it shine. A glossy shoulder bag, sleek sunglasses and a polished black belt elevated the whole look.

Dua Lipa took a similar route, wearing a white graphic tee tucked into cut-off shorts, finished with a gold-buckled belt and knee-high biker boots. It was casual but cool—exactly the kind of outfit you want to live in right now.

The best part? This look is almost too easy to replicate. Channel Lipa’s edge with a tall boot or keep things retro with low-profile trainers—either way, you’re winning.
