How to Style Every T-Shirt You Own

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.

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 simple duster coat. 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.

 

Wish you a wonderful weekend

Beauty icon Emily Weiss is our white t-shirt goals. She got creative and paired it with blue skinny jeans, a slouchy blazer, black booties, and a statement scarf. This is a look you can totally copy.

University Tees

Bleaching and cutting university tees to make them more unique and stylish has been a huge trend this year. Give all of your free college tees some DIY TLC and you’ll be the talk of the tailgate.

Pair your favorite college tee with pants that coordinate with your school colors, throw on classic Converse, pile on the gaudy beads, and smear on the face paint for the most spirited look that can go from the football game to a house party (minus the beads and face paint).

Can’t bring yourself to part with your sweatpants? No problem. A fitted striped tee looks great with plain sweats or even a pair with a muted pattern.

An oversized tee with some cohesive accessories makes for a flexible and cute look that’s still ridiculously comfortable! .
