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.

Whilst 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. Her 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 tall biker boots. It was casual but cool, and exactly the kind of outfit I want to live in right now.

Dua Lipa speaks to a fan wearing a graphic tee, denim shorts, a leather belt and biker boots.

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