Five Ways to Style a Plain Tee

It can be easy to dismiss a plain t-shirt as a basic. You see it as compulsory and boring. But if you choose the right shape, size, and color, your t-shirts can complement your silhouette. Black and white t-shirts are a wardrobe staple and it is handy to have a few of each. 

When styling a t-shirt, it is important that it fits correctly. Part of the appeal of a plain t-shirt is the way it fits, so make sure you get it right. It has to both fit perfectly and highlight the best attributes of your body without looking like a skin-tight workout top. Make sure the seams of the t-shirt sit perfectly on the edge of your shoulders. Also, make sure the top is long enough for it to be tucked into the trousers, but not so long that it bunches at the waist. Ensure that it extends past your hip bone and covers the waistband of your pants. Have a look on Bella and Canvas wholesale for some basics.

1 Open Shirt and White Tee

Layering your clothing is a good way to look great. If you wear your t-shirt under an open, casual shirt, the unbuttoned touch ensures that your look is relaxed. It creates an effortless look. If you pair a plain white tee with dark jeans, the plain colors will act as a good anchor for color and prints, so you can mix it up and be as “out there” as you please.

2 Tee and a Leather Jacket

Wearing a tee and a leather jacket is the easiest way to introduce some edge to your wardrobe. You need to make sure that you do not miss the mark, and end up looking like you are in fancy dress. A white t-shirt is a classic look, but a black t-shirt will still look good.

3 White Tee, Black Trousers, and a Bomber Jacket

A mid-size bomber jacket in black can add shape to your silhouette, if you finish off the look with a pair of black trousers to add a smart-casual balance. The monochromatic colors will tie your look together. If you stick to black trainers, your white tee will be the focal point.

4 Go for a Blackout

Your t-shirt’s minimalism is its stand-out quality, so do not diverge from it. An all-black outfit is perfect for looking fashionable, casual, and on-trend. The black t-shirt is the foundation that allows everything to flow seamlessly. You could tuck it into your smart joggers, giving your loungewear a boost. Or, you can wear it above slim trousers and layered under a jacket of your choice; this is understated but formal.

5 A Suit

If a black tie is too formal, or you don’t want to wear a shirt, a black t-shirt is a saving grace when trying to pull together a sharp look. A basic black tee looks suave with no clutter. If you wear this under a black jacket, you will create a classic and modish look. If you feel like mixing up your look, let the black top break up a grey or white blazer from matching bottoms.
