Sunday Styling Series // 003

sharing some love for my favorite wardrobe hero

Hi Reader,

Happy weekend + welcome back to another ✨Sunday Styling Series✨!

Today, we are showing some appreciation for my favorite wardrobe hero -

THE WHITE TEE

When I think of effortless Summer style, I always go back to a classic white tee. I think there’s a quiet self-assured confidence in someones style when they wear a white tee - you can’t hide behind it!

Its timeless in the sense that it never ages - just the details and styling will evolve!

Here are some of my favorite ways to style it:

1. All white with black accessories - black adds a bit of modernity and contrast to the look in a chic way. Don’t be afraid to mix in browns too if thats more your vibe! And don’t worry if the whites don’t exactly match or if they get a bit dirty - it creates a more lived-in feel and you can always wash it! My favorite is mixing an optic white with something a bit more muted like Ecru or Stone (like the last image)

   

2. Throw a sweater over for a casual cool vibe - it adds texture, contrast and is perfect for layering into the evening

   

3. Use as a way to ground your look - the best part about a basic is that it feels comfortable and known. It can also act as a chameleon and blend into any look. If trying out a new trend, exaggerated silhouette or bold colors, pairing back to a white tee can create balance and ease.

   

4. Create juxtaposition and relax a dressier look - Perfect for those times when you want to dress up but aren’t sure of the level of formality, or you want to add contrast to a dressy look. Add a white tee! Quickly puts ease into your look while still making a statement.

5. Layer, Layer, Layer - The key to a look feeling intentional and styled are layers. And a tee is an easy way to add interest and depth to a look. I use this styling tip all year long with my clients

   

Make it feel new - if you think a white tee is too boring or basic, think about styling with trend-forward accessories or play with new fits and shapes for an updated modern feel

7. PLOT TWIST! I have also been recently loving a grey tee!! It adds texture and interest and just feels COOL. Look for one that has a heathered texture vs a flat surface. Wore it this weekend (tbh, its usually a lounge shirt) but styling it with a linen blazer as I was craving a bit of softer contrast compared to my regular White tee!

This is my old favorite - its a long sleeve but buttery soft (seriously, Kim K knows what she’s doing at Skims bc I also love their undergarments!) SS Version Here but a slimmer fit so I’d size up for a looser fit if thats your preference. Additional Grey Tees Here | Here (waitlist) Blazer is a couple years old from Banana Republic but similar vibe Here | Here | Here | Here (50% off!)

Other looks for inspiration - just adds a bit of cool-ness to a look!

PS - Most of my clients never saw the versatility in a white tee because they typically just bought whichever one they came across without giving it much thought since its such a “basic”.

When you know your style, it can help remove the noise and better inform your purchasing decisions to make the most of that item in your closet. Once my clients honed in on their personal style, we were able to find a white tee that resonated with them and worked hard for their lifestyle.

If you are in the same boat, you’ll want to stay tuned for my Substack post this week where I’ll do a deep dive into the white tees I own and the thought process behind each one + links to the best tees I’ve found for myself and my clients!

Have a beautiful Sunday
