Graphic Tees Are Back…Sans Saturday Morning Cartoon Characters

Tonic.com has just debuted their Tonic by Donna Karan and Urban Zen line of tees ($65) in time for Earth Day. The tees are not only eco-friendly, but they also help out charitable causes by donating 10% of each purchase to the The Urban Zen Foundation and The Tonic Foundation.

It seems like perfect timing on all fronts, as flattering and more grown-up graphic tees (translation: no Disney characters or alma maters) are all over the place this spring. Below are some we'd pair with a blazer and jeans any day.

Lauren Moshi’s bulldog tee ($88) has a tough-looking beast on the front but the swing shape and super soft material make it a girl’s tee all the way.

This understated grey flowered tee ($36.50) will go with everything, from a pair of kicky chino shorts to a summery skirt and layered necklace.
