The Tee: Anything but Basic

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

When I went rummaging through my closet for a trusty t-shirt to welcome the warm weather, I realized my tee collection could use a serious upgrade. Many of my once highly favored shirts are now faded, ill-fitting and not on par with the season’s tee trends. Naturally, I went looking for some new ones to replace the old!

As an essential part of a spring and summer wardrobe, t-shirts have the uncanny ability to be dressed up or down, all while keeping you nice and cool (literally and figuratively!). This season, the tee selection includes graphic, patterned, cropped, oversized, embellished and classic styles to suit your mood and diverse tee needs. With this kind of variety, the tee is now anything but basic. The styles are vast, the outfits infinite, so experiment freely this casualwear! Try a cropped tee with a pair of jersey harem pants. Or a neon-hued, oversized tee with a pair of leggings and snakeskin ballet flats. A graphic t-shirt will create an interest-adding contrast when worn with a cotton blazer, wide-leg linen pants, and a cork wedge. Check out these other styles to update your tee collection this season.
