The quickest, easiest way to dress up something simple is to pair it with something dressy, like a skirt. A beautiful bright floral pattern in an a-line, a classic black pencil, or a long maxi skirt all look great with a white tee. Given the right skirt and a tee in silk or rayon, you might even get away with taking your white tee to a fancy event.
Have to run out somewhere and need to look polished? The easiest solution is to throw on a great blazer or jacket. Even if you’re wearing jeans, a blazer or cardigan and some comfy dress flats can instantly make a white t-shirt look meeting-ready.
Do you have a cute jumpsuit with a neckline that’s a little too deep? Or maybe a slip dress you’d love to wear, but you feel like it’s just a little too revealing? Pair a classic fitted white tee underneath your dress to add polish, make it a little more modest, or take an outfit from “beach” to “dinner.”
Almost any sleeveless dress looks great as a jumper over the top of a classic tee. The trick is to find a tee fitted enough to lie flat under the dress and avoid extra bulk or bunching.
A white t-shirt in the boardroom? You betcha! Pairing a classic fitted white tee with wide-leg trousers and a pair of bright-white trainers definitely throws off an “I’m confident, stylish, AND smart, so don’t try to mess with me” kind-of vibe. It’s still formal enough to be taken seriously, but casual enough to not make you look like you’re trying too hard.
Who says your lounge wear has to look like you’ve given up? This combo is fantastic for traveling, especially on long flights! It’s comfy enough to feel like I’m relaxing, but still polished enough to look put together. For shoes, try cute trainers with just a little bit of flair.
This is such a cool and effortless look for everyday errands and definitely one of my favourite combinations.
Another super-simple way to take a elevate a tee is to add an eye-catching piece of jewellery. With a crewneck tee, go bold or go home. Use bright beads, chunky necklaces in candy colours, or fun fashion jewellery to really make a statement. Think of a white t-shirt as a blank canvas and add colour and shape to really make things pop!
There’s nothing easier than a great pair of skinny jeans paired with a simple white t-shirt and a great pair of really bright pop-of-color shoes. Finish the look with a front tuck, and you are good to go.
A great way to use the white tee on cooler days.
A great scarf can make a tee seem fresh, interesting and beautiful. Go for pretty colours and dare to try bright and patterns you would otherwise skip over.
Create a cowl neck effect by double-looping an infinity scarf around your neck. Use a knit scarf and even arm-warmers to make a white tee seem instantly cozy and fall-ready.
