What Can you Do With a Basic Tee?

Look # 1

A basic tee is an important wardrobe essential that can really stretch out your closet’s outfit potential. Basic t-shirts are inexpensive and versatile, useful all year-around.

A few tips on how to get the most out of your basic t-shirts:

• Secure solid colored neutrals such as black, white and gray which are easier to mix and match with the rest of your wardrobe. They balance out outfits and work as a perfect canvas to show off your trendy clothes and accessories, like a beautiful necklace or a bright colored scarf
• Don’t be afraid to buy several tees of each color. If you find a t-shirt that fits you perfectly then it’s highly recommended to buy 3-5 of it. This helps ward off laundry days.
• Longer t-shirts are more versatile than their shorter kind because they serve layering outfits very well, so make sure you know the length of the t-shirt and compare it to your own body measurements (your torso basically)
• V-neck is the most ideal neckline that flatters most shapes. It slims down the upper body and creates a leaner silhouette. Scoop necks are also timeless but won’t favor you if you have a heavy or wide upper body (chest, shoulders, etc.)
• If you already have the basic tees it won’t hurt to buy even more but in different styles like short tees, flowy/drape tees, t-shirt with chest pocket, etc.

The possibilities are endless! Here are a bunch of ideas to get your basic tees going:

Casual
Look #1
 A cropped striped black and white cardigan coupled with a basic tee, jeans, and flats is always a good bet.


Look #2
Relaxed boyfriend jeans combined with trendy gladiator sandals and a wrap/open cardigan over your tee is totally comfortable.



Look #3
A black v-neck tee, short light khaki colored bubble skirt with a skinny belt, simple gladiator sandals (obviously versatile footwear for our closets!), and a pair of gold hoop earrings is casual that can be easily turned into a Fall outfit with opaque tights and boots.These are just suggestions on how you can wear your t-shirts. Remember that you’re allowed to think for yourself and come up with a much nicer outfit that reflects your own personal taste and personality!
