T-shirts are timeless and essential, especially for college students. It takes a lot of effort to put on jeans and a nice top for early morning classes, and frankly, we don’t usually put forth that effort. You’re lucky if you even make it to class on time. T-shirts are comfy and convenient, so why sacrifice comfort to look stylish? Luckily, you don’t have to. Next time you’re tempted to wear your T-shirt with a pair of worn-out sweats, make it a little more chic with these styling tips for every kind of tee you own.
Graphic Tees
Still cold outside? Wear your favorite graphic tee by with a duster coat, high-waisted jeans, and a pair of sleek, heeled boots to stay warm.
Make your graphic tee a little more edgy with a classic black leather jacket and vintage mom jeans.
Dress up your favorite graphic tee by pairing it with a distressed denim miniskirt and a beaded or embroidered kimono. No kimono? No problem. Bomber jackets are super trendy right now and would be a great replacement.
Solid Color Tees
We love solid tees because they’re so versatile. This fashionista paired a solid gray tee with black denim and a huge statement necklace. We love.
A loose-fitting solid tee looks great with distressed boyfriend jeans, plenty of dainty jewelry and a stylish pair of neutral mules.
A solid tee with a deep v-neck begs for layered necklaces, a scarf or both. Pair it with distressed shorts for a casual but fashionable look.
Sorority Tees
If you’re in a sorority, you wear your letters with pride. But sometimes it’s hard to find new, cute ways to style your favorite Greek tee. We love pairing them with high-waisted jeans and little accessories, like a choker or a flannel tied around the waist.
Give your favorite sorority tee a makeover by tie-dying it or cutting it so your cute bralette peeks out. As it gets warmer, pair it with some denim shorts and flat sandals.
White Tees
White tees are perhaps the most versatile of all T-shirts. For a classic look, pair your white tee with literally any kind of denim and dress it up with black heels.
Winterizing your favorite white tee has never been easier with a duster coats. Find an adorable one at almost any fast-fashion store, slide on your favorite vintage jeans, and add some of your favorite accessories for the perfect cold weather combo.
