5 easy tricks to style a plain white tee

• 2017/08/31

A white t-shirt or more commonly known as a plain white tee is that basic yet staple wardrobe piece every woman / man owns in their closet. But could you wear one every single working day of the week? No problem. With a little help of the following five tricks I promise you that you will fall again in love with your LWT // little white tee. 

Elevate it // Use slogan t-shirts and high waist it 

_______________________________

This is without a doubt my favourite trick of the summer. Of course slogan t-shirts were seen over every social media site out there and admittedly I was rather late to join this trend bandwagon. All you have to do with this look is to simply tuck you favourite slogan white t-shirt in a high-waisted pair of mom jeans or anything high-waist in general. It will look effortless but still fresh, because of the slogan you chose for that particular outfit. Currently, I'm in love with this Nasa slogan tee I purchased a few weeks ago. I love to pair it with my Topshop mom jeans, a pair of suede burgundy mules from Zara and a vintage straw bag.

Edge it up // Put over a leather jacket 

_______________________________

Another simple way to style you basic white tee is with a leather jacket. Every edgy street-style lover knows that if you want to edge up any outfit is with a good leather jacket - put it over your shoulders for a more effortless look, pair it with a pair of black jeans + ankle boots and you are good to go. 

Dress it up // Pair it with high heels

_______________________________

Wearing a plain white t-shirt to a party or a dressier event? You may think that's crazy, but I believe it's the way to go. Pair it with a pair of smart trousers or a sophisticated skirt, put on a blazer and a favourite pair of heels and you are good to go. They will have no idea you're wearing just a plain white t-shirt you got on sale that time for $5. 

Layer it // Wear it under a dress

_______________________________

One of my favourite styling rules (all will be revealed very soon so stay tuned!) is the rule of two: whenever you are wearing a one-piece outfit, meaning a jumpsuit or a dress, elevate that look with another piece aka. the rule of two items. Basic white tees are great to wear under sleeveless dresses (this trick goes especially well with floral or silk dresses) or jumpsuits - this is a timeless styling trick, which will make your outfit look appear much more interesting. Finish the look with a pair of your favourite statement sunglasses or an eccentric handbag + a pair of sneakers/sandals/heels. Whatever you prefer!

Accessorise it // Pair it with a neck scarf 

_______________________________

Oh how much I love neck scarfs, you have no idea, and I'm so glad they're finally back. When you pair a silk patterned neck scarf with a plain white tee, it allows the scarf to have the spotlight and be the central item of your outfit. You will, again, look chic and effortless - just the thing we all desire to be, am I right.
