How To Style A T-Shirt
Consider what type of fabric your T-shirt is.
Your entireee outfit can be dependent on what sort of fabric your t-shirt is. For a casual day out, choose a cotton tee. For a more elevated look, go for one in silk or linen!
If you want to wear a T-shirt in business casual settings, look for a t-shirt that’s a bit more structured so it holds its shape.
Decide what kind of fit you want your T-shirt to have.
Choosing between whether you want a tighter fitting T-shirt or a more oversized option is totally based on what vibe you’re going for. For more laid-back events, you can rock an oversized tee and be A-okay! But for more formal settings, we recommend sticking to a tighter fitting top.
Balancing out your look matters, too! If you have baggier pants, the tight tee will make it look proportional. If you’re wearing more form-fitting pants, you can get away with a baggier tee no problem!
Decide whether or not you want to spice it up with accessories.
If you’re looking for something to elevate a T-shirt outfit, accessories can transform a look from simple and basic, to voguish and posh! Think of things like gold hoops, a statement belt, or even a luxurious looking handbag.
On the other hand, maybe simple is what you’re going for! Keeping accessories minimal can ensure that your outfit remains laid-back and relaxed.
Have fun with pattern, texture, and color coordination.
If this one seems self-explanatory, that’s because it is! But simple as it may be, it’s arguably the most important tip of all.
For casual settings or nights out, graphic tees and vibrant colored T-shirts can add personality! And you girls know, we’re allll about statement pieces over here. But. for more business casual or professional settings, stick to neutral tones and solid colors to create a monochromatic look.
