T-shirts are a staple in everyone’s closet, and changing the way we pair them can sometimes help us reinvent and refresh our style. There’s nothing wrong with wearing a t-shirt with jeans but you might as well shake things up a bit from time to time. Cool blazers, pleated skirts, or overalls are some of the few ideas for an inspirational combination. No matter your style, you can always find ways to mix up your tees with sets you’ve never imagined before.
Look below to get a few ideas, and they just might inspire you to change up your fashion style.
Classic pairings
A classic pairing with a tee can include everything from jeans and pants to short and long skirts. Even wearing one under a casual day dress is considered a classic look since it looks and feels comfy. Depending on your style you can combine anything you feel like, whether it be a girly, tomboy, or gothic style.
For example, if you prefer to wear black tees with a cool design, you can mix up your love for Halloween and put on a witch shirt with a cool pleated skirt or black pants, and you’ll be ready for any event. If you prefer a more casual everyday style, pairing a cool tee with jeans and cool sneakers can be the ultimate outfit choice. Enjoy matching different styles and get out of your comfort zone so you can rediscover yourself.
T-shirts and suits
Putting on a blazer can change your look from casual to more elegant, and can elevate your style if you’re planning a night out with friends but you don’t feel like putting on fancy clothes. If you like wearing shorts and cool graphic tees, adding a blazer to the combination can uplift your look.
Celebrities love rocking this style since, no matter the occasion, you can look cool and elegant at the same time. If you want to keep the attention on your suit you might want to put on a colorful one and wear a simple white or black tee underneath. Add cool high heels or even sneakers to this combination, and heads will turn.
Matching set
If you like matchy pieces of clothing, pairing a t-shirt with a coordinating blazer and pants, shorts, or a skirt, is definitely up your alley. Plus, it will take you all of 5 minutes to get ready. This type of matching set doesn’t usually need plenty of accessories, so you can choose to put on a tee with some cool graphic or inspirational quotes.
In addition, you can combine it with chunky white sneakers or flats, depending on where you’re going. If you love to wear jewelry, maybe long circle earrings are a way to go with this combination. Look through your closet and find your favorite tee and try to match it up with a suit, and see how that feels. Note that matching sets look for simple and not too colorful shirts underneath.
Overalls and dresses
Overalls have been popular for a long time now, and if you want to look extra cute this is the combination to go with. For example, combine a simple black or white tee with polka-dot overalls and you’ll get the perfect balance of playful and stylish. Be careful how you accessorize this outfit.
You can add sporty kicks, delicate jewelry, and trendy oval sunglasses to channel a casual and laid-back style. Thin strap dresses would look great combined with a unique tee. If you don’t feel comfortable with showing too much cleavage or exposing your upper arms, then this would be your perfect summer combo.
Wear t-shirts like a dress
If you have plenty of oversized t-shirts but you only wear them around the house, then it’s time to spice up your look. Be bold and try a t-shirt dress with cool tights and combat boots or white sneakers. It’s time to rock and roll the coolest and comfiest outfit in your closet.
From Hailey Bieber to Rihanna, everyone is wearing them and if it looks cool on them, then it can certainly look cool on you, too. If you’re a loose tee fan and want to look casual yet attractive, wearing a graphic t-shirt dress is a great move. Express a more down-to-earth side of you during the weekend whether at night or during the day.
Final thoughts
Raid your closet before it’s time for spring cleaning, and find a treasure full of cool t-shirts ready to be paired with a few interesting outfits. Experiment with your style and you might just start a new trend among your friends. Whether you’re going for a cute or sexy style, make sure you combine them right so you won’t go over the top.
