T-shirts are staples in every wardrobe, that can be easily dressed up for a smart-casual look.
- Throw on a blazer. If you can wear a T-shirt to work, dress it up by putting a blazer over it. Tuck the shirt into your khakis or chinos, and pair with a nice pair of shoes that are workplace-appropriate.
2. Pair with a skirt. A T-shirt can bring a comfy but elegant look to your outfit when paired with a midi skirt or pencil skirt or a stylish pair of jeans or slacks. Complete your outfit with flats, wedges, or ankle boots.
3. Wear a button-down over your T-shirt. For a smart casual look when hanging out with friends or going shopping, a white T-shirt or solid colour tee with your jeans and a button-down over it as a simple casual and comfortable look.
4. Accessorize. If your tee has a bold graphic print, don’t hide it with too much jewelry. A plain tee though can be jazzed up with a statement neckpiece or layered chains.
5. Play with colors and patterns. A plain white tee is an excellent addition to a denim-heavy outfit, such as jeans and a denim jacket. You can create contrast by wearing beige khakis with a colourful T-shirt.
6. Play with a French tuck. A French tuck, or half tuck, is where you tuck in the front part of your shirt into your pants but leave the sides and back hanging out and loose. This trendy, club-ready look can dress up your nightwear with skinny jeans, chinos, or even shorts.
7. Do You. Be creative – accent pieces, jeweler, funky accessories, bold footwear or jacket. As long as it’s appropriate for the setting, you can find creative ways to dress up your tee shirt.
