New Ways To Wear Your Classic White T-Shirt This Summer

This timeless piece is due for a 2020 makeover! - by Elyssa Kostopoulos

New Ways To Wear Your Classic White T-Shirt This Summer

If you’re anything like us, your white T-shirt (or T-shirts – we need a few on hand for rotation), is the most worn item in your wardrobe. A long-standing staple, there’s nothing as reliable or crisp as this sartorial favourite.

The biggest challenge, however, is thinking of new ways to style this timeless classic. We’re all guilty of falling into the redundant cycle of the denim and white T-shirt combo – which, there is nothing wrong with of course. But with the summer season in full swing, we’ve decided it’s time to spruce things up a bit and give the classic cotton T-shirt a 2020 makeover. Our best tips, below.

Dress it up

The best way to dress up a white T-shirt is by pairing it with a pair of long tailored pants. This will give you that refined sport-luxe look that we are seeing everywhere at the moment. You can keep this look simple with a pair of sandals for a girl’s long lunch or take it into the evening with some ‘barely there’ heels and statement jewellery. The styles we’re loving? We can’t get enough of the Viktoria & Woods ‘Bramwell Pant’, which is available in a handy five different colours – almost one for every day of the week!

Start layering

It might be getting warmer, but the art of layering never goes out of fashion. Pop your classic white tee underneath a silk slip dress or a timeless summer mini and that’s your outfit sorted. Not only are you discovering a new way to style this wardrobe staple, but you’re also getting more use out of dressier pieces that don’t leave your wardrobe as much. Of course, there’s no going past Bec + Bridge when looking for the perfect midi or mini style to get you through the season.

Amp up the volume

For a little extra fun, try tucking your T-shirt into a statement skirt. Volume is definitely still in fashion – with the bubble skirt making a serious case for the next biggest trend. Featuring in the collections of some of the world’s most renowned designers (Louis Vuitton and Jacquemus we’re looking at you), we’re certain this is only the beginning of the fast-growing trend. If you’re hesitant to jump on board, ease your way in with the Aje ‘Dalia Bubble Mini Skirt’. This clever piece features adjustable drawstrings, allowing you to determine just how much ‘bubble’ you’re comfortable with.
