T-shirt: how to create beautiful and elegant looks with the piece

Wearing a basic t-shirt does not imply a basic look. Today, the t-shirts gained a more charming air and, with that, they started to be called by the name in English, t-shirt.

For personal stylist Ingrid Sauer, t-shirts have become fashion pieces. “Although it is typically associated as a relaxed piece, it can be used to “up” the look, transforming a casual look into a fashion look.”

The t-shirt, according to the personal stylist, has been raised to the level of an indispensable piece in the wardrobe, and can be worn by women of all ages.

Using creativity, amazing looks can emerge with the use of the piece. “It goes with everything from jeans to sequins. The cool thing is to combine powerful accessories to the look”, adds Ingrid.

The piece is quite versatile and there are no restrictions on its use. “She goes from basic to fashion. T-shirts invaded the streets and are now considered essential pieces in women’s wardrobe. They can be used in any way, making a rock or romantic style, anything goes”, says Ingrid.

However, there are some pieces that go better with t-shirts and form incredible and democratic looks. Below, see what these combinations are and some usage tips:

T-shirt with flare pants

Flare pants are that piece that makes your body more outlined. Because it is tighter at the hip and wider from the knee down, it builds a silhouette that defines the woman’s body, elongating it.

When worn with a t-shirt, it looks tidy and ready for work or occasions that call for clothes like this. The tip that the personal stylist gives so you don’t go wrong when wearing the t-shirt with flare pants is to choose wider and shorter shirts that don’t cover the hips. “Put on a maxi earring, a belt and a nice heel” is Ingrid’s suggestion for a perfect look.

T-shirt with skinny

Skinny pants are tighter and therefore better define the woman’s body. Darker colors and thicker fabrics help not to over-mark. Because of their shape, skinny pants also ask for wider tops.

So, wear wider and longer t-shirts, to make an interesting counterpoint and create a very casual look. To give a waist, it is worth betting on a blazer or vest. The personal stylist also suggests combining the pieces with sneakers and a scarf, “to give a fashion touch to the look”.

T-shirt with shorts

Shorts are a fresh piece that helps to build unpretentious and very relaxed looks. Today, there are several models that match different styles and adapt to certain occasions. The shorts combine with a good variety of accessories and, therefore, you can play around and invent very creative looks.

For Ingrid, the shorts match all t-shirts, from the widest to the tightest, depending on how you want to wear them. “Use it with a maxi necklace, a sneaker and put on a jacket or blazer to give a fashion touch to the look”, says the personal.

T-shirt with skirt

The skirt is a very feminine piece and, because of that, it creates romantic looks. The variety of models of the piece is great, as well as the shorts, and, thus, it is easier to adapt the skirt to your style, without losing femininity.

Both neater looks and more casual looks can be created by combining a skirt and a t-shirt. Ingrid suggests wearing the shirt inside the skirt, pairing it with a blazer and heels. The option can also be for the sneaker that, according to the personal, matches perfectly and still renews the look.

4 tips to find the perfect t-shirt

The quest to find a t-shirt that fits you is not complicated at all. With the variety of models available, there is always one that fits your style, your body and your age.

To make the choice even easier, here are some tips that can help when in doubt:

1. Fabrics: Mesh is the traditional fabric for t-shirts. However, there are models made even with silk, but if you want to keep a basic and comfortable t-shirt, the option for traditional fabric is the best.
2. Where not to wear it: the personal stylist’s advice is to avoid formal environments, such as workplaces that require more social attire. In a job interview or occasions that call for more sober attire are also places that Ingrid suggests avoiding t-shirts.
3. Who can wear it: For Ingrid, all women can wear t-shirts. “Because it is a super versatile and youthful piece, any woman, whatever her age group, can wear and assemble the most different looks and styles with a t-shirt”. Younger women, when they wear the t-shirts, give the impression of being tuned in. For more mature women, the look is bold and modern.
4. Plus-size women: V-neck or U-neck t-shirts are best for plus-size women. This style of t-shirt helps to elongate the lap, according to the personal stylist. Darker colors and pieces that fit the body well are also great tips. “Be careful not to wear pieces that are too wide, always opt for pieces that are tighter to the body and that have your own style”, advises Ingrid.
