Plain white t-shirts are such an all time staple. Have loads of them? Good, because now you can learn how to style them up. Casual or formal, there is not a single look that cannot be derived from a simple basic tee in white.
A white t-shirt paired with jeans, long or short, rolled up or not, skin-tight or loose, is the classic combo that everyone is very aware of unless they’ve been living in a cave.
With a plain piece like a tee rendered in your shade of white, you can keep it minimal or push fashion boundaries with the way you approach the rest of your ensemble.
A statement necklace can be worn over the neck of the tee where the stunning contrast will serve to highlight the accessory.
A skirt imbued with floral prints for instance, can’t help but to stand out as the white top serves as a clean visual backdrop as it also becomes an anchor that ties the whole outfit together.
Whether you prefer a paper thin white tee that edges on the sheer territory or a thicker variation that can be worn on cooler days, it is clear as a summer day that the space for fashion experimentation when a plain tee in white is concerned, is vast.
Wear it as part of an off duty getup with frayed cuffed jeans and chunky sandals. Or lend a polished vibe to it with a structured pencil skirt and a slinky heel with a dainty ankle strap.
Or go on and mix the casual aspect of it with a dose of dressiness that can be achieved through the introduction of a structured full skirt/blazer/trousers, a fresh makeup and a bold and refined pout. You can also make a statement with a new spring/summer haircut.
