Style Your Favorite Tee!

By Jayna Dave

T-shirts: comfy, simple, and versatile - we all love wearing them! A t-shirt doesn’t need to be limited to lazy days or for sleeping, however. Keep reading for ways to show your advocacy and personality while styling your tee and elevating it while remaining comfortable!

Faux-Cropped

Wearing a cropped t-shirt is one of the easiest ways to be on trend with your outfit. Rather than buying a cropped t-shirt or cutting a t-shirt you already own, try these options. For a shorter look, tuck the hem of the shirt into the bottom of your bra. If you want to create a slightly ruched look, gather your t-shirt until it sits tightly around your waist and tie a rubber band around the extra fabric. You have the option of keeping the knotted fabric as shown, or you can roll it underneath for a more polished look. Faux-cropping your t-shirt accentuates your waist, creating a slimming effect while making the shirt appear dressier.

Libby wore her favorite denim jeans with an oversized 5K tee pulled behind her snuggly with a rubber band and then tucked up into itself.

Bike Shorts

In the last few years, bike shorts have become increasingly popular, with many celebrities opting to wear them with oversized t-shirts. Bike shorts offer the comfort of athleisure as well as a cool, effortless look. This versatile pairing is perfect for a gym workout or a day out.

With so many options, don’t hesitate to add more t-shirts to your closet. V-neck styles also allow easier access for treatment without compromising comfort or style. Any way you choose, t-shirts can be a great closet staple!

Ella took this great Miracles Can Happen tee tied it in the front and tucked it. Paired with leggings or bike shorts, the shirt stands out to make a casual statement.

Jackets

Skirts

If you want to achieve a feminine look with your t-shirt, pair it with a maxi skirt. From florals to pleats, skirts add a touch of delicacy to complement your edgy t-shirt. Opting for a light, flowy skirt will help keep you cooler in warmer temperatures. If you’re hoping to wear a t-shirt for a “going out” look, try wearing one with a satin skirt. Satin’s shiny appearance will give your outfit a festive, dressier feeling, adding a fancier element to your style. A wide belt can help cinch the shirt at your waist or hide where you’ve tucked it in.

Jayna paired this cute floral tee and tie die skirt with summery wedge heels to dress it up. For a more casual feel, pair it with white tennies.

Tucked with Wide-Leg Pants

Tucked t-shirts pair perfectly with wide leg pants. This fashion-forward outfit creates an hourglass effect, complementing both your waist and your legs. Match your favorite t-shirt with a pair of jeans or trousers to achieve the flattering look. Pair with a fun belt or scarf around your waist and chunky shoes to complete the look.

Couple any t-shirt, tight or baggy, with an oversized denim jacket to create a comfy yet cool outfit. To create an extra-sophisticated look, wear a slimmer denim jacket with a pair of your favorite baggy jeans. While the denim-on-denim style is vintage, it has made a comeback in the last few years, and you can’t go wrong with this pairing. In addition to denim jackets, leather jackets also elevate your t-shirt. Throw on a leather jacket with any t-shirt to instantly dress it up. Perfect for a night out, leather jackets add a touch of glamour to your t-shirt, especially when paired with black or colored denim and great shoes or boots.

Jayna styled her cropped tee with an oversized denim jacket. She paired them with flair jeans and wedges to add a little sass and a fun nod to the 70’s.

Ella paired the unexpected: a heavy biker jacket and leather booties with a springy floral skirt and bright smiley tee. We love the juxtaposition of the two!

Blazer

To make your t-shirt appear more refined, wear a blazer over it. This combination is the ideal intersection of business wear and comfort. Because blazers have simple, sleek cuts, styling them with a t-shirt creates more structure to your outfit. Blazers also add an element of professionalism, allowing you to wear your favorite t-shirt to work! To further elevate this look, wear a pencil skirt or trousers. You can even wear your t-shirt with a monochromatic pantsuit to create a playful yet powerful outfit. Pair with a statement necklace, and nobody will ever notice your tee!

Allie Rose chose to pair this basic black light-weight blazer with a fun lightening bolt tee. It makes a fun power statement for those business casual days!
