I don't think it would be an exaggeration to say that my white T-shirts are the most worn items in my entire closet. They're the building blocks of my wardrobe and what I reach for any time I'm zapped of inspiration. I mean, name a basic that's more useful, versatile, and timeless than a classic white cotton T-shirt. (Mhm, I'll wait.)
The weird part is, I wear mine constantly and yet I'm somehow always lacking in ways to wear them, which means that more often than not, I end up repeating the same combination of jeans and a tee over and over again. I have nothing against that combo (honestly I live in it), but more often than not I feel lazy if I can't come up with anything new. To combat this outfit fatigue, I keep a saved folder of all my favorite ideas and regularly reference it when I'm feeling particularly uninspired.
Lately, this folder has been seeing a lot of fresh white T-shirt outfits that I plan on copying ASAP (okay, I've copied some of them already) and I felt like the ideas I've amassed were too good not to share. Everyone loves a good white tee, that's a fact. I'm just here to help you put yours to good use. Scroll down to see my favorite white T-shirt outfits on celebs, fashion girls, and street style stars and then shop pieces to recreate each look.
Here, Bella Hadid schools us in the power of great wardrobe basics. Tailored trousers, a leather blazer, and Converse sneakers all come together to make an easygoing airport look. On Bella Hadid: Magda Butrym Ottawa Blazer; Dries van Noten Cuffed Pants; Ralph Lauren RL50 Bag ($2750); BY FAR Amber Bag ($715); Converse High-Top Sneakers ($55); Dmy by Dmy Olsen Sunglasses ($130)There's nothing better than an eye-catching jacket to earn your style points. Right now, I'm really into a leather shirt jacket worn open over jeans and a white tee.If you, like me, reach for jeans and a tee nearly every day, I highly recommend going for a chain belt. Throw it on and suddenly your easygoing outfit is a full look.I love the idea of tying my T-shirt in a knot to show off just a bit of midriff. With plaid trousers and old-school oxfords, it's an interesting play on preppy style.This look is proof that just because you're wearing a white T-shirt doesn't mean your outfit is automatically casual. A structured blazer and of-the-moment pleated skirt add sophistication to the wardrobe basic.When I eventually tire of my jeans I always try and reach for a statement pant and right now a snakeskin print feels especially fresh. For the colder months, throw a polished coat on over the whole thing to finish it off.Lean into neutral tones by pairing a boxy white tee with beige trousers and go for a statement heel like leopard print to really pop.Blue jeans and a white tee—it doesn't get any more classic than that. To add some dimension to the look, I like to anchor the pieces with coordinating accessories like a leather belt and sleek ankle boots.
