White tees are the blank canvases of closets. A simple, yet essential piece of anyone’s day-to-day wardrobe, they can easily be dressed up or down for any occasion. Match one with a colored pant and oxfords for a more professional feel, or keep it casual with a decked out denim jacket. Whatever the look, this tee is sure to help you pull it off.   

OUTFIT #1 KEEP IT CASUAL

In search of a simple, yet stylish, look for exploring the city? Mix up the normal tee and jeans look by opting for colored fabric. Add in some simplistic jewelry or a bold lip color to dress it up a little, but stay casual with sneakers and a denim jacket. For a personal touch, deck out your jacket with pins, patches, or even embroidery. And don’t forget to grab a neutral bag or backpack for all your urban adventures.

OUTFIT #2 JUST PLAIN PROFESSIONAL

Basic doesn’t have to be boring. Dress up your look by pairing your tee with colored dress pants for a fun and sophisticated look. Old Navy’s Pixie Pants are a staple in any wardrobe. Choose from neutrals like navy and gray, or switch it up with deep green, plum, or mustard. If you’re feeling even more adventurous, grab a patterned or even metallic pair of pants. Add some minimalist jewelry and oxfords for a modern and clean feel. Layer your look with a neutral coat or blazer.

Heading to the farmer’s market or out for lunch with some friends? Revamp your plain white tee with a colorful, patterned skirt.

You can dress up the look and bring out additional hues from the skirt by adding in an assortment of layered and multi-colored necklaces.
