Wear a Classic White T-Shirt With Style

A white t-shirt is the one basic that I can't live with out. It can easily be dressed by for a sophisticated look, it can be used to add edge to an outfit, or be dressed down for an easy casual look. The key to making the white t-shirt look stylish is accessories.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • A White T-Shirt
  • Accessories of your choice
  • A mirror
  • Style
  1. Step 1

    Decide if you prefer the crew neck version or v-neck version of the white t-shirt. This is mostly personal preference but the crew neck is more of a classic uptown look while the v-neck is viewed as an edgier downtown look.

  2. Step 2

    Choose the correct t-shirt. Look closely at the cut, shape, and material. Make sure your t-shirt flatters your upper body as much as possible. For example if you are large chested choose a t-shirt with a v-neck (cut) and if possible one that helps define the waist (this will help create an hour glass shape) in a medium weight material like cotton.

  3. Step 3

    Remember that basics are the hardest things to shop for and that you may need to look around before you find a shirt that really flatters your figure.

  4. Step 4

    Accessories are the most important step because they will make that simple white t-shirt into a statement about the person that wears it.
    Add:
    -A scarf is probably the easiest and chicest way to add style to a white t-shirt.
    -Chunky jewelry like big necklaces and bracelets will dress up the t-shirt.
    -Try adding a hat. These are big this spring and it should be simple to find one that speaks to your style.
    -Add a jacket or vest.

  5. Step 5

    And remember to change it up. If you always wear ballet flats with skinny jeans try switching to a wide leg jean or a riding boot. Just using different accessories and basics will make the t-shirt look fresh and new.
