This post was originally published in October 2020. It has been updated to share the best tips for styling bookish graphic tees + which small shops to purchase from!
I’ve begun to collect bookish graphic tees and now I want to share them all with you!
It’s no secret that I love graphic tees. I’ve probably written more posts about this article of clothing than any other! I own tees with witty sayings, cultural references, bands I love, being a Virginia native, and more. Now I’m diving into my bookish and fandom side and I’ve been introduced to so many fantastic shops through bookstagram.
In this post, I wanted to not only share how I style my tees super casually for autumn, but also provide information on some of the small bookish businesses to support. While I have a massive list of stores that I love, I’m focusing on the ones that have great t-shirt choices! Hopefully, you’ll find a new favorite.

I’ve already shopped at several of these stores – for tees and other goodies (like coffee mugs, candles, and more)!

It’s a great way to support a small business and get your hands on the cutest goodies!

So cute! There’s a company that doesn’t do graphic-t’s, but their shirts have the words from books on them. I can’t think of what it’s called, but I need to add it to my Christmas list. I adore the simplicity of this one, and I am SO happy that graphic-t’s are in style!!

This shirt was made for you! I love how a graphic tee + cardigan looks together (so easy and chic). The ensemble is perfect for the fall (especially when it can start out chilly and end up warm by the end of the day).

I have often avoided tees with quotes on them as I find them difficult to style, but I am inspired to start wearing them more after seeing the effective ways you have woven the words into your look! Love the cozy fall colors and textures. 🙂
