There are a few essentials that every Fashionista should have in her closet: a well-fitting pair of jeans, a classic button-up, a little black dress and in my opinion, a striped T-shirt. Whether this shirt is long sleeve or short, loose or tight fitting, it is a basic piece that’s super versatile and can be worn in so many ways.
Take this Fashionista, for example. She starts her look with a black and white striped shirt and some skinny jeans that create a look that is clean and chic. The distressed style of the jeans gives her classic look a bit of a twist and adds detail to an otherwise simple outfit. To give her look even more detail along with some sparkle, she wears a chunky, chain statement necklace with pearls and rhinestones. The contrast between the dark brushed metal and the white pearls adds a little edge to her outfit. Finally, her brown cross-body bag and suede wedges complete the outfit for a casual feel that works well for any daytime occasion.
As you can see, sometimes it’s great to keep your look simple with some basic elements and then let your accessories do the talking. Think of a plain T-shirt and jeans as a blank canvas, and use your favorite accessories to paint a picture, creating a statement look that shows off your own personal style. Whether it’s preppy, boho, grunge or classic, with a few variations and the right accessories, this look can work no matter what your style is!
How To: Start with a black and white striped T-shirt that you’re comfortable in and wear it with your favorite pair of jeans. Then, add a bold statement necklace that makes your look stand out, or layer some necklaces to achieve the same effect. Choose fun accessories that express your sense of style. Make sure to keep the focus on these statement accessories by finishing off the look with a neutral bag and shoes.
