Ah, the white T-shirt – a wardrobe staple for any season and a must-have for many outfits. Our stylist Lethabo Mncwanga gives us three ways to wear your favourite basic.  

1. White tee and white jeans combo 

There’s no other combination quite like it! The plain white tee and denim duo is a timeless classic, so why not give it an update with a trending silhouette. Swap your regular blue jeans for white barrel jeans. Pull your hair back into a bun, add your favourite black tote and a black jersey draped over your shoulders, you’ll turn heads with style envy as you breeze past them on your way to brunch.

2. White tee with pleated pants for office glam 

Make your basic look sleek and sophisticated for a day at the office. Style your boxy white T-shirt with a pair of preppy pleated pants. Not keen on heels? A flat tan sandal is the perfect accessory to your polished professional appearance.

3. White tee with edgy (faux) leather pants 

For something different, pair your loose-fit cropped white T-shirt with black (faux) leather trousers or push the envelope further with a pair of cargo-style leather trousers. Dress it up with a stiletto heel for a night out or keep it casual with a pair of sneakers.
