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.

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

You're going to notice something here. These t-shirts don't have a lot of cotton in them. That's because cotton t-shirts shrink, hold stains and don't drape very well. I like viscose, modal, and a little stretch like lycra or spandex in my t-shirts. The most expensive t-shirt happens to be 100% cotton, but it's a jersey cotton and is cut on the bias, so oddly, it works. One more thing, 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.

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 an office, board meetings, or traveling a whole lot, take it up a notch from nice jeans and a t-shirt 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, 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.
