How to Dress up a T-Shirt

Reader Jhaneel writes, “I never wear t-shirts because they look so plain and boring, especially when they’re not v-neck. However, I’m a college student and sometimes it would be nice to be able to throw on a t-shirt when I’m running late. Any advice on how I can spice up a shirt so it doesn’t look so blah? I’ve heard statement necklaces are one way to go…”
Hey Jhaneel! T-shirts and tanks are a comfy go-tos in the summertime, and depending on the design of your tee, can look effortlessly chic by pairing it with dressier elements. You’re right, statement necklaces are always fun, but you can also add a pair of skinny jeans and stilettos or a cute blazer to your run of the mill top to make it pop. Let’s take a look at how some celebrities rock it right:

Notice, the girls above are not rocking your standard ‘gym issue’ tees. To make t-shirts fashionable, stick to classicly chic neutral colors like white, black, or gray. Then add a pair of skinny jeans and peep toe stilettos like Beyoncé, throw on a blazer and short shorts like Rihanna, add a statement necklace like Kim Kardashian, or wear a vintage inspired tee with leopard print sandals like Cassie. Either way, you’re sure to look hot!
