8 Ways to Rock a T-Shirt

By Tami Starling

T-shirts have been around for ages and have no hint of going anytime soon. If anything they are back in full force! So now is the time to take advantage of all those unused t-shirts you have lying around by falling these simple tips and ideas.

Wear a t-shirt like a blouse: Even though t-shirt are casual wear that doesn't mean it has to look like casual wear. First tuck your shirt into your pants, skirt, or shorts. Then layer on some necklaces, a vest, or even a blazer. If your sleeves show then try folding or rolling them up to finish off the look.

Tone down a dressy outfit: Are you dying to find a way to wear your amazing metallic suit jacket or fabulous leather leggings without looking overboard on the fancy? Fear not, your problem is easily solved by throwing on a longer loose fitted tee or tank in a neutral color.

The artsy tee: The days of the ironic tees are over, thank goodness! Now it is all about the artsy tee. Artsy t-shirts tend to add a slightly mature look to the graphic tee. Generally they have no words, but if so then the type is usually very stylized. Artsy tees have that certain something that can be rocked dressed up or dressed down.

Want words? Just keep it simple: If you are dying to have some words on your shirt if is good to keep in mind that minimalism is in. The simpler, the better. Usually it is good to keep the type plain and not stylized. If you want to have a phrase, try to limit yourself to not exceeding 5 words.

Let a solid t-shirt highlight glam make-up: Want to wear bright read lipstick or just rock the really dramatic eyes? Well make them pop by wearing a solid t-shirt in a neutral color. This way your shirt won?t distract from you glamorous look. This trick can also be used to highlight colorful pants or jewelry, try it out.

Show some support: Wearing a t-shirt in support of you something you believe in can be a strong style statement. That is why I say go for it! It is ok to let people know how you feel, weather it is cancer awareness, change, or even an MS walk. Confidence is the best fashion accessory and nothing says confidence like not being afraid to wear a t-shirt of something you support.

Take from the boys: If you want to add a little rocker edge I suggest taking a cue from the boys, you can't go wrong with a band tee layered under a boy blazer (as long as they are clean). Just make sure you still keep in feminine by pairing it with some hills or boots and perhaps a small clutch.

Always have fun: The most important part of any outfit is to have fun! Don't be afraid to get creative! - 29871
