A white t-shirt is like a blank canvas which you can jazz up in any way you want and it will give you something beautiful. It has long been an icon of casual attire but there is no reason why we can’t wear something as classic and cool as a white t-shirt to office. The not-to-be-messed-with rules of wearing a white t-shirt to office includes it being clean, well-fitted, not having a deep plunging neckline and being long enough to be tucked in. Here are some ways in which you can style your white t-shirt for a stylish day at work!
Pencil Power
Tuck in a fitted white t-shirt into a printed or a solid coloured pencil skirt with a thin classic belt, for a classy, yet contemporary formal look. Preferably, opt for subtle prints like stripes, checks or small florals. Pair this look with killer pumps and you are all set to make heads turn at the workplace! This outfit will serve as the perfect antidote to your Monday morning blues and make you be the style star at office all day!
Suited Up
Be a good employee by sticking to the corporate dress code and layer your t-shirt under a smart, tailored blazer and pair it up with formal trousers. You can go for a pair of not-so-loud striped trousers if you are not in the mood for the typical solid colored ones. Accessorize the look with cool mules and layered necklaces and you will be ready to slay, at the next board meeting!
Vested Interest
Give your Friday dressing a cool twist and sport your favorite white tee with a comfortable pair of ankle-length culottes. Slip on a vest – be it solid, for the sceptical ones or printed, for the more daring ones – to catch those appreciative stares and glances. Pair this combo with wedges and you have an outfit which can effortlessly take you from work to party on a Friday night!
Flared Fun
Bring back the 70s vibe by tucking in a white t-shirt into a pair of well-cut flared trousers. Use a belt to cinch in the waist and add a scarf around your neck to spruce up the look. You can either go for a printed scarf or a solid coloured one or it can also be used to provide a pop of colour in the dreary corporate backdrop. Slip into a pair of peep-toes and you are all set to face the presentation day with full confidence.
Pleats please
A pleated skirt with a white t-shirt gives you that extra touch of oomph and is perfect to put you under the limelight at your office for all the correct reasons. You can either choose a printed or a mono color pleated midi skirt – black, white and navy are the expected color choices so kick things up a notch with a statement necklace or a colorful shrug to layer it like a pro. Dare to go for a print on print look with a printed shrug or go safe with a solid colored one. Add an androgynous twist to the outfit with a pair of comfortable brogues for a long day at work.
A white t-shirt is, thus, a must have in every wardrobe and you can style it with almost anything any way you like it – be it with pants, skirts, shrugs, jackets, blazers (the sky is the limit). So wrack your brains, trigger your style cells and go conquer the world in your staple white tee!
