Is there anything more classic than a white tee?

Simple, clean, EASY. It literally goes with everything, and never feels overdone. You can dress it up, dress it down, wear it alone or layered. It really is the perfect wardrobe staple.

Try Different Shapes, Sleeves and Necklines

When we think “white tee,” most of us think of the classic crewneck, short sleeve option, but there are so many more cuts and styles to choose from! Tees come in many different fabrics—silks, rayon, knits, cotton and more. You can find great long sleeve options as well as tank and sleeveless tees. When it comes to necklines, there’s boat, scoop, v-neck, crew and even turtlenecks. A quick internet search on many fashion websites will show you how cheap and plentiful this versatile little wardrobe staple can be.

Experiment with different shapes and fabrics to find your “classic white tee.” Maybe you love a chest pocket or maybe it makes you cringe. Some women prefer baby doll or ladies cuts and others like a more classic shape.

White tees are so versatile, you can really make it stretch through your entire wardrobe, so find something you love and go with it!

Pair It with a Skirt

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.

For a Carrie Bradshaw vibe you can even try a tule skirt with a simple white tee for an adorable outfit that looks AMAZING in photos!

Throw on a Patterned Blazer

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.

Patterned blazers can sometimes be hard to style in a way that doesn’t make them look overdone. But a simple white tee is the perfect, classic base for your outfit. The combination is unstoppable and appropriate for nearly any occasion.

Go Classic with Wide Leg Dress Pants + White Trainers

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.

Of course other kinds of dress pants can work well with white t-shirts as well. Flowy, loose tees tend look better with fitted bottoms. A classic cigarette pant or ankle-length skinny pants can be very chic with an easy-fitting tee.

Channel your inner Audrey Hepburn by pairing fitted and cropped bottoms with flats and a boat neck tee for a great summer-to-fall look.

Add Skinny Jeans, Pop-of-Colour Shoes, and a Front-Tuck

There’s nothing easier–or more effortlessly chic–than a great pair of skinny jeans paired with a simple white t-shirt and a great pair of really bright pop-of-colour shoes.

Finish the look with a front tuck, and you are good to go, looking completely pulled together and yet like you didn’t have to try too hard.

Add a Designer Scarf (or a look-alike)

The number one, super-duper-easy way to dress up a white tee? Add a classic scarf! A great scarf can make a tee seem fresh, interesting and beautiful. Go for pretty colours and dare to try brights and patterns you would otherwise skip over. With scarves, when it comes to texture, colour, weave and fabric, the sky is the limit!
