How to Work Graphic Prints Into Any Outfit

Contemporary menswear is finally embracing a more adventurous approach to colors, patterns, and cuts, and nowhere is this more apparent than with graphic prints.
Granted, all of those zigs, zags, swoops, and jolts of color can make introducing prints into your wardrobe feel like a daunting task, so we've curated a range of sophisticated
From ties to shirts to track jackets, here’s how to incorporate
1| The After-Work Look
I.N.C. shirt, I.N.C. shoes, Theory blazer (shop similar), Levi's jeans, Levi's belt, Calvin Klein socks.
One great way to conquer the ambiguous "after-work" fit is with the tried-and-true formula of a blazer and jeans. To give it some pop, mix the two with a graphic print shirt. It’s a look that you can easily transition from a day of meetings to a casual happy hour with colleagues.

I.N.C. top, I-D Ideology pants, Nike shoes.

A bold print track jacket with solid track pants and a pair of all-white sneakers is a pro move that'll ensure you look good without giving everyone else vertigo.

I.N.C. tie, I.N.C. shoes, Calvin Klein blazer, and Calvin Klein pants.

4| The Vacation Look
I.N.C. shirt, I.N.C. blazer, I.N.C. pants, Kangol hat, Nike shoes.
For an upscale warm-weather outfit, try mixing a graphic print shirt with a light-colored suit. The suit keeps things sophisticated, while the shirt lets your personality break free. If you’re into more of a streetwear vibe, mix it up with white sneakers and a stylish hat.
5| The Nightlife Look
I.N.C. shirt, I.N.C. pants, Calvin Klein tank, Michael Kors belt, Calvin Klein shoes.
For a night out, you're more likely to get into the club by dressing up, but you definitely don’t want to look like you just came from the office. The answer is a sharp but low-key white graphic print button up. It’s polished enough to get you past the velvet ropes but edgy enough that it won’t look out of place inside.
