3 Ways To Wear Your White T-Shirt This Fall

Tina, here.

You're definitely winning at fashion if you're buying pieces that multi-task so you can wear them different times of the year, to multiple types of events. A white t-shirt is one such wardrobe multiplier. But be careful, the more simple something is, the more perfect it must be. So I'm going to provide you with 3 price points for a white t-shirt. Depending on your philosophy, go the cheap route, or the expensive.

People ask me all the time, how to wear scarves without looking ...old...it's quite easy if you aren't fussy about it. Here's how - click the image below to be taken to the video.

My opinion is that if you're a mommy constantly wiping dirt stains and slobber off your t-shirts, definitely buy the disposable, inexpensive ones that can easily be replaced. If a white t-shirt is the everyday backdrop to your very chi-chi ensemble of designer fashion, then maybe you'll want the designer white t-shirt because it's one of the main players.

Perfect White T-shirts

Back when I started working with clients, my favorite white t-shirt was a v-neck from Banana Republic, 100% cotton. But then, they quit making it, and most cotton t-shirts were either frumpy squares or skanky see-throughs. So, for a while, my favorite t-shirts were mainly of man-made fabrics because cotton t-shirts can shrink, hold stains and don't drape very well. I like viscose, modal, and a little stretch like lycra or spandex. However, there's been a turn of course, and cotton has come a long way, and now my favorites are all cotton. Which I am very, very happy about, because I love how they feel. Always choose a v-neck. Never, ever a crew neck unless you cut the neckline with a big gum ball necklace. V-neck t-shirts elongate your frame. And no pockets. They make your boobs look weird. And no slub-knit t-shirts; they are see-through.

3 Ways To Wear Your White T-Shirt This Fall

1. To Work

If you run in a business casual environment, which I'm electing to include your dining room "office", board meetings, or traveling some, take it up a notch from nice jeans and a t-shirt (and sweats!) to nice pants and a t-shirt. Caveat: your white t-shirt must not have ANY stains if you're going to wear it as part of a dressy-casual look. No armpit stains, nothing. Capiche?

2. On A Saturday

White on white in the fall? Yes, Scarlett. It's the New South, or haven't you heard? But to make your outfit truly a fall ensemble, add traditionally fall accents like leather boots, a hide clutch and shagreen jewelry.

3. To A Party

One of the best tips I share frequently on this blog is that if you don't feel like you have the right thing to wear somewhere fancy, just pile on most of your jewelry, or a sparkly sandal, and then add lipstick. Works fantastically with a white t-shirt, pretty jacket and metallic pants. This outfit would be great for a fall cocktail party or social fundraising event.
