If you enjoy wearing T-shirts, and patterned ones in particular, these outfits might appeal to you. Most of the tees are more than basic. Elevated, as well as casual and comfortable. A tee in a heavier fabric with a bit of heft tends to drape well and feel substantial. 

TIP: Tees that are too long can be shortened to a length that creates outfit proportions that are more to your taste. This hack is especially effective when you enjoy wearing tees untucked.

1. T-Shirt and Trousers

A good quality graphic black tee is not hard to find, and looks particularly current in a roomy fit with a high and neat neckline like this one. It’s worn over a pair of dressy off-white wide cropped trousers, which picks up the white graphic of the tee. Classic white sneakers are the Sporty Luxe choice of shoe. A gold bucket bag adds a glam touch. Gold flats or sneakers would too.

2. T-Shirt, Jeans + Jacket

A multi-coloured graphic tee is tucked into a pair of baby bootcut jeans with a LOT of scrunch. The hems of the jeans scrunch because they aren’t too wide at the hem, and they’re worn with heeled shoes. Flatforms like these sneakers, create height off the ground thereby allowing the hems to scrunch and rest on the vamps of the shoes instead of sweep the floor. An orchid leather blazer tops the lot, adding a dressy and polished integrity to the “jeans-tee-sneaker” combination. A red clutch adds another dressy touch and matches the palette of the tee.

3. T-shirt Under a Dress

A fairly fluid patterned tee is layered under a lace and pleated black slip dress. This is a great way of adding coverage and interest to a dress that feels a little bare. Cognac platform sandals are the summery shoe of choice, matching the earthy bits in the outfit. A black crossbody bucket bag amps up the casual vibe.

4. T-Shirt and Skirt

A cropped, striped, fitted and knotted tee is paired with an A-line and front slit denim midi skirt. Its cropped length accentuates the fit and style of the skirt. Black gladiator sandals are the breezy finishing touch. I see a black bag complete the look. Add jewellery, watch, and eyewear as desired.

Here are more skirts worn with tees. Tees are patterned or solid, vary in fit, and sometimes worn under a topper.
