Confession time: this is the first time in my adult life that I’ve owned a plain white tee – and every time I say “plain white tee” I think of the band,Β theΒ Plain White T’s. Β Okay, so now that I’ve released that information to you (and promptly gotten “Hey There, Delilah” stuck in my head), let’s move on. Β I’m so happy to have discovered the power of the plain white tee. Β Not only is it ridiculously comfortable, but it’s flattering and ridiculously versatile. Β I know that no matter the events of the day, I can reach for this top and piece together a killer outfit – no extra effort required.
I found this somewhat slouchy-fitting v-neck atΒ H&M. Β In the store it was priced at $12. Β Online it’s only $6. Β I’m wearing an XS and it’s still a bit of a boyfriend fit, so you may want to size down. Β I paired it with these black, cuffed-hem shorts, also fromΒ H&M for a crazy casual outfit. Β While on their own these basics might not look like anything special, add the right accessories and you’ve got a totally luxe look on your hands!
Let’s talk shoes first. Β Wearing heels with shorts is almost always a good idea. Β It creates the illusion of longer, leaner legs. Β If your tee is white, and your bottomsΒ are either blue or black denim, don’t be afraid to play with colored shoes. Β I snagged these blush block heels fromΒ AMI Clubwear for only $27! Β Next, let’s bag it up. Β I love designer bags, but they don’t love my wallet, so I tend to snatch up dupes like there’s no tomorrow. Β This ChloΓ© Faye look-alike purse fromΒ Closet Access is incredible quality and too pretty to pass up at only $98 (in comparison to the designer original at over $1,900). Β Last but not least, sunnies – possibly my favorite part of any outfit. Β I chose a reflective-lens pair that matched my shoes in the prettiest blush color. Β This style is no longer available online (pouty face) but, you can purchase a similar pair fromΒ Edge I-Wear!
With just these few additions, I took my plain white tee fromΒ boooring toΒ BAM! all for under $170. Β This is a look I will reach for over and over again because it takes little-to-no thought at all, and it looks totally glam! Β How do you dress up your white tees?

I love H&M for their basics! Almost all of my plain tees are from there however when I wash them they change form, if that makes sense! Do you have that issue?
As for you, girl your legs always look amazing!
I’ve definitely had that problem in the past. However, I’ve washed this top about five times now and there’s been no warping whatsoever. So I think it’s a keeper! π
So perfect! I really like how you pulled in a pop of color with the shades and those block heels. I’m a bit obsessed with that heel game. A plain white tee is so underrated and I’m so glad you showcased just how easy and versatile it! This look is absolutely killer.

The boyfriend fit is incredible! Naturally, I find myself sizing up in other brands to mimic the fit, but H&M does it right! I’d also recommend checking out Madewell, I love the fit of their basic tees! Have a great weekend

Why is a good white tee so hard to find? I love the fit of this one, so I may need to rush out and pick up one (or three).

I’ve never owned a plain white tee that I actually like! Might just have to try this one π Thanks for sharing a fun look!

Gee…thanks!!! You now have “Hey There, Delilah” stuck in my head, haha! On another note, you’ll find out very soon just how amazing simple, white tees are. They are must-haves in my opinion and so easy to throw on when you have nothing else to wear!

That’s one thing I’ve not worn for like ages either. A plain white tee that is. But I mean, if James Dean could pull it off, why shouldn’t I be able to? Well, I don’t quite look like James Dean, but hey, at least that’s a step in the right direction. π

$6 bucks is exactly what I’d want to spend on a plain white tee. I don’t get people who spend $100 on a t-shirt, even if it is the softest cotton ever. My problem is that I go through tees like underwear. They get sweat stains and food stains and eventually I can’t keep them white anymore. So $6 sounds like a great deal!

Hahaha I am definitely with you on that! I understand quality for some basics – pants and such, but for a simple tee, I think $6 is pretty reasonable π
You’re rocking that white t-shirt!!!! And, those sandals are FAB!!!!
Such a gorgeous outfit! I love dressing up simple outfits and t shirts. You look lovely!
