Ways to Style a White T-Shirt

Since a white t-shirt is one of my favorite things that everyone should have in their closets, this guest post by Ron from The Adair Group is a must read! No matter what time of year, white tanks and shirts are a must have in all closets. Whether you're layering in the winter or putting together a casual but cute look for the warmer months, you can never have too many white tees!

Here are Ron's favorite ways to style white t-shirts all year round:

Ah, the white t-shirt. We all have them, as they are the universal staple of our day-off outfits. However, your white tee can easily look more than sloppy if not put together in the right way. Here are some genius ways to style your white t-shirt that aren’t uninspiring or frumpy. Dare we say there are a few suggestions that you can wear to work?

Dress Your Tee Up


Pair a fitted white tee with a bold full length or midi skirt. Throw a statement jacket or coat on top, and you are ready for work! The look can even transition for nighttime, and it is perfect for grabbing drinks with girlfriends or a date-night dinner. Make sure to complete the look with minimal jewelry and heels.

Wear a looser fitting tee tucked into high-waisted trousers. Throw on a power blazer and killer watch and your go-to-work shoes. Keep a neutral color palette, like white trousers and a camel or light brown blazer, for effortless office attire.

For those events when you want to be dressed up, just not too dressed up, grab a crisp white t-shirt and pair with an elegant maxi skirt of any color. Throw on heels and statement earrings, and use a clutch for the finishing touch. Now you have an easy going-out outfit you can use anytime you’re short on time.

Style a white V-neck with military inspired pants (currently trending for the fall season) and put a navy blazer over it. Depending on the weather, or your mood, wear brown sandals or ankle boots. The blazer dresses up the t-shirt, but is well balanced with the military green pants.

For Days Off


When running errands, grabbing brunch, or those days when you want to feel comfy-but-cute, pair a white tee with black jeans. Tuck just the front in and throw a denim jacket on top. Finish the outfit with cute sunnies and sandals/sneakers, and you have the perfect off-duty look! Bonus points for perfectly styled bed head.

For a dressed down military inspired look, reuse those black jeans and white tee combo from above. Opt for an olive green or sandy brown jacket and dark aviators. Keep the shoe dark and, if you want to go for military inspired, black combat or motorcycle boots would work perfectly.

Calling all lazy girls! Since overalls have experienced a comeback, throw your favorite white tee under a pair of skinny dungarees. A ponytail, sneakers, and a fun purse complete the look. Voila! You’re now ready to take on the weekend.

A simple outfit that is easily transferable from day to night: During the day, wear your tee with distressed denim. When it’s time for dinner, throw on heels and a blazer. Depending on your purse, you may want to switch to a clutch, but, other than that, you are ready for dinner or drinks.


I LOVE these tips so much! No matter what the occasion, you can always look to a white t-shirt for your outfit. I love this because it's so simple and can be so versatile at the same time.
