How to wear your t shirt all year round

Can you wear your t shirt all year round? The answer is yes and here's how...

There are some pieces of clothing which are very much seasonal, which only really come out of the wardrobe around the same time each year. We're talking the big, heavy-duty coats, and woolly jumpers for the autumn and the winter months. We're talking shorts and swimmers for the spring and the summer, providing the sun also joins in. And that is all very well, as it is a nice feeling to change up the wardrobe as the seasons similarly transform the light and the landscape around you.

But then there are those items which seem to be a bit more fundamental, that are the beating heart of an outfit, whatever the weather - and the trusty t shirt definitely falls into that category. If you have a fresh tee, the great thing is that you know this is one of those pieces of clothing that is going to be able to do a lot of miles. Once you find yourself a new favourite, you know it is going to be your companion through all sorts of scenarios. These are just some of the ways you can put your killer t-shirt into good use for some classic all-year-round styling!

Smart casual magic

If you want to put together a smart casual look which impresses with both its slickness and its touch of looseness & irreverence, then the t shirt can definitely be called into action. One way you might think about doing this is by combining the t shirt with suit trousers and a jacket, so that you can bring together two worlds and make something which does its own thing entirely. If you don't fancy going full on with the suit combo, you can always think about pairing a jacket with some chinos or some other smart trousers.

More layers, more style

Whether it is with a jacket, or with a sweatshirt that just reveals a hint of the colour of the t shirt underneath, the t shirt can also often be the basis for a nice bit of layering. This is ideal for the transeasonal moments which don't quite require as much protection from the elements as is needed in the depths of winter, but similarly don't enable you to go for the full on sun's out look.

Keeping it relaxed

If you are on a chilled one, but you want to look the part too, then a laid-back sweatpants and t shirt combination can always do the job. You will find that a high quality, highly fashionable t shirt along with some fresh sweatpants and even a tracksuit top too always goes down a treat. And you'll be laughing because you won't just be looking good but also feeling super comfortably too.

The classics

But let's not forget those classic everyday t-shirt uses which are called upon so often for good reason. That's right: there has to be a shout out to jeans and to shorts. For the summer, shorts and t-shirts are a seminal vibe, and then for practically any season, providing the weather is not too extreme one way or the other, blue or black jeans with your t shirt will always be a faultless look.
