Closet fundamentals? Depend me IN. White T-shirt? Oh, sure. 

I really feel like I would have to wax poetic to really describe my love for a plain white tee. (Half joking, half severe.) As a lot as my eyes may brighten up in any respect the enjoyable microtrends going round, I can’t deny that I’m a easy lady at my core. (Fashionably talking, in fact). And if I needed to inform you the place to begin with closet fundamentals and how one can obtain a minimal capsule wardrobe — begin with a plain ole white tee. 

Some might snooze on the thought or assume, “White tee? Groundbreaking.” (Identify that movie!) However hear me out: You possibly can simply incorporate this super-basic merchandise into allll of your outfits. And it does not must be boring. 

I’m no beginner in terms of styling a white tee — hey, 7 Days of White Tee Outfits or, ahem, somewhat one thing for my nursing mamas on the market. However I feel we may all the time use a little bit of an inspo refresh for the brand new yr. A minimum of, I discover myself needing it.

I began with Linzi’s deep dive into the easiest white tees (she’s tried 40. Sure, 40). Thanks, Linzi! 

The place did I land? Madewell’s Northside Classic Tee that Linzi describes because the one which isn’t see-through. I personally love the form of this tee (not tight, however not too dishevelled…fitted within the excellent method). And that value? It’s talking to me. (And it’s typically on sale!). 

So, I took this tee and styled it up 5 other ways for all of the each day random actions one may discover themselves in all year long. Let’s get to it!

White Tee Outfit 1: For Metropolis Explorin’

One factor about me: Going downtown with my women is an excuse to interrupt out somethin’ barely fancy (versus my typical athleisure) however nonetheless comfy sufficient for all of the dillydallying and window-shopping. 

My favourite method to do that is often with one thing structured up prime like a blazer, wide-leg denims (that nearly appear like denim trousers), and footwear I do know can take me the gap. I can’t deny my love for athletic kinds, so sneakers and a traditional baseball hat add in that sporty spice. (Sorry, I needed to). Tuck within the white tee, and simply add some sunnies and your greatest backpack.

White Tee Outfit 2: For Operating All The Errands

I’ve had my eye on leather-based bomber jackets for months now. It screams “mannequin off-duty.” (A glance I prefer to assume I’m clearly serving after I run to the grocery retailer in something aside from sweatpants. Heh.)

I’ll all the time have love for my traditional leather-based jacket, however one thing concerning the outsized, menswear-esque model of this bomber is asking my identify. It’s just like the cool cousin of a structured leather-based jacket. A fitted white tee and a few flared leggings (or yoga pants, as us early 2000s adopters name it) assist offset the bagginess of the jacket.

Oh, and UGG boots + yoga pants are again in full drive. I don’t make the principles! In the event that they’re not your velocity, traditional white leather-based sneaks all the time look good too.

White Tee Outfit 3: For College Pickup

I just lately purchased this cropped puffer jacket from Hole (in inexperienced…I do know. Me? In colours? She’s modified). Nevertheless it’s promoting out quick, so I opted for H&M’s inexperienced puffer that truly turns right into a puffer vest! It’s the little issues.

Evidently, my adventuring into inexperienced puffer jackets has been inspiring my outfits massive time. So, that’s how we landed right here: white tee, black wide-leg denims and high-shaft, platform booties. It’s been a snug, go-to outfit for me just lately…a lot so, that I’ll in all probability put on it each weekend. However that stays between us.

As soon as I added within the equipment, all I may assume was: I’d be a dang-cool mother on this outfit. And I needed to embrace that ridiculous shearling backpack. It’s positively expensive, however I couldn’t resist together with. Don’t sleep on City Outfitters bag part for all of the funky designs your coronary heart might need.

White Tee Outfit 4: For The Workplace

I without end stand by a pair of excellent trousers even for on a regular basis put on. However they have to be comfortable for me to achieve for them. Not too long ago, the lengthy, wide-leg trousers are all the fad, and I’m lovin’ it. Shoutout to Amy for her pleated trousers submit that I’ve been persistently going again to for my very own inspo. However how will we make a white tee look not too informal towards the trousers for work? Pop on a sweater vest, an extended wool coat and funky lug-sole loafers. (Additionally s/o to Laura for having me drool over all of the loafers proper now).

One other factor I actually needed to point out with this outfit is how superbly heat brown tones, navy, black and white can all work collectively. Slowly however absolutely, I’m working my method into the nice and cozy household and straying away from my traditional cool-toned grays, however I needed to do it in a method that might mix with the remainder of my closet. I didn’t assume it was doable, however we did it!

White Tee Outfit 5: For Date Evening

This outfit model is unquestionably nothing new to me (or in all probability you guys, both, in the event you’ve been following us for a while). However I needed to present it a 2023 replace with a longer-length silk slip gown and tall tan boots that go beneath. It’s my method of creating the fashionable Western kinds match my largely black, fashionable closet. Edgy Western, if you’ll.

I like Madewell’s white tee beneath the gown to go well with my not-so-fancy life-style. (Being super-fancy makes me…uncomfortable.) For heat, add in a shorter, fluffy jacket and a pair of tights. As somebody who’s all the time had a love-hate relationship with them (and consistently wants to purchase a brand new pair after one use), I needed to seize the Sheertex pair from Amy’s “unbreakable tights” submit. Add a cute little purse + a shiny lip, and it’s time for a date evening!
