Do you ever have to worry how by dressing with less, your outfits might look repetitive? Or if you are worried how too many colors do not match one another? That’s not the case!

Don’t worry we are here to help you imagine how one piece of clothing can become unrecognizable in different combos, we’re showcasing a classic wardrobe essential—the t-shirt. So take a look at how you can create several different looks with the same base!

Casual day out

One of the most popular ways to wear a t-shirt is with pants, especially jeans. Combine the shirt with some mom or boyfriend jeans and pair it with your favorite sneakers. If you’re more into polished looks, swap the jeans for light cotton pants and choose sandals or boots as your footwear.

Pro styling tip: Tuck the t-shirt in your pants to elevate the look and accentuate the waist.

Leisure time

With athleisure, it’s all about the layers. Your t-shirt is the basis of the look, and different accessories and other tops add that extra touch. Adding some accessories can help you elevate your t-shirt game and create many different looks from the same items. Source: Pinterest

For example, if headwear is your jam, choose a classic dad hat or a bucket hat. If you’re a bag person, style your t-shirt with a backpack or a fanny pack.

Going out

Whoever said that a t-shirt is too simple for a “going out” look just hadn’t met the right t-shirt. To dress up for a special occasion, combine your top with light pants or satin skirt—this will give your outfit a festive feeling.

A great way to transform a regular t-shirt into a party piece is to tie it in a knot. Gather the lower end of the fabric in your hands, twist it until it looks like a rope, wrap it around your fingers, and secure it with a rubber band. You can do a middle knot, side knot, or even create a crop-top!

Pro styling tip: Tie the t-shirt into a knot to give it a more fun and refreshing look!

Work attire

Work attire is often associated with simple cuts, which is why t-shirts are a great base layer to pair with more formal clothing. Depending on the bottoms you choose, you can tuck in the whole shirt, the front, or leave it as it is. Either way, as long as you style it with blazers, smart trousers, or pencil skirts, your t-shirt work attire is guaranteed to look professional.

Pro styling tip: When in doubt, wear a blazer! This combo will immediately make your outfit look more formal

Activewear

Similar to athleisure, your activewear look can be all about layers, matching, and expressing your own style. Using your t-shirt for workouts can make it more prone to tearing or losing its form due to excessive washing. To avoid this, make sure to always turn your tee inside out and use only cold water.

When possible, skip the washing machine and wash it with your hands. This will not only prolong the life of your favorite tee, but will also be more earth-friendly.
