5 Ways to Wear a T-Shirt for a Daytime Look
T-shirt outfits can go well with casual wear for the office or for a day out with friends:
- Throw on a blazer. If you can wear a T-shirt to work, throw a blazer over it. Tuck your T-shirt into jeans or dress pants and throw on a pair of work-appropriate shoes.
- Pair with a skirt. A T-shirt paired with a midi or pencil skirt can give your outfit a comfortable yet elegant look. Complete your outfit with sandals, wedges or ankle boots.
- Wear a button-down shirt over your T-shirt. For a smart casual look when hanging out with friends or shopping, tuck a white T-shirt into your jeans and layer it with a button-down shirt.
- Tuck into shorts. During the warmer months, shorts and a T-shirt are a sensible summer outfit. To update your look for the day, add a belt that doubles as a fashion statement.
- Play with colors and patterns. A simple white T-shirt is a great addition to denim outfits like blazers and a denim jacket. You can create contrast by wearing beige khakis or trousers with a bold print.
3 ways to use a T-shirt for an evening look
The T-shirt can be used in a variety of situations for more casual evenings. Consider the following outfit ideas:
- Tuck your T-shirt into high-waisted pants. Wear a high-waisted skirt, jeans or wide-leg pants and tuck a T-shirt into them for a more fashionable look. Here you can make the T-shirt the center of attention by using fun patterns or colors. Loose T-shirts work best with these outfits, allowing the fabric to swell above the waistline.
- Play with the French lift. A French tuck, or half-tuck, is when you tuck the front of your shirt into your pants but leave the sides and back open. This trendy, clubby look can elevate your evening wear with skinny jeans, chinos or even shorts.
- Wear a miniskirt and matching blazer. A blazer and skirt set can be a statement piece. If these items are colored or patterned, a plain T-shirt underneath can tie the outfit together and create an ensemble for an evening at a cocktail bar or restaurant.
T-shirt brands for everyday wear
Most fashionistas and fashionistas know that T-shirts are offered by almost all brands on the market. Among the most popular are Adidas and Zara, but few people know that even the great house of Versace produces lines of T-shirts for every day.
Choose the most convenient material, think about what you will combine it with and experiment. Believe me, your wardrobe will definitely have something to wear with any T-shirt you buy.
When choosing a T-shirt, size and fit are important factors. To choose the right T-shirt, it will be convenient for you to navigate your body type and size. Some people realize that their body type is too petite or plus size and try to go down a size to look slimmer or up a size to look curvier. In both cases this is the wrong decision.
You should choose the right size, measure your shoulder length from end to end and size according to the T-shirt design you like. For example, people with a petite frame should purchase T-shirts that have a slim fit at the bottom. This will add volume to your lower body and make you look fuller. Likewise, plus size people need to measure their shoulder width before the T-shirt fits your body shape.
