How to Style Jeans and a T-Shirt- Easy Style Guide

Let’s start with the basics. Here, I am wearing white sneakers, and I have tucked in my t-shirt. Tucking in the shirt gives your outfit a little more detail. I have also opted for some lovely, subtle jewelry, such as classic gold hooped earrings, a dainty necklace, and a bracelet. Adding jewelry helps elevate the look a bit more.

TIP-

You can style this with any type of jeans you want. My absolute fav is high-rise jeans as I feel it compliments my body.

Wear different shoes

I swapped my sneakers for a pair of plain, nude, classic pumps. If you want to make yourself look taller, opt for some heels or shoes to give off that desired dimension. Also, opting for shoes that are almost the same color as your skin tone gives the illusion that your legs are longer.

If you are looking for a more put-together, casual look, then switching your shoes for white loafers and a long knit cardigan will also do the trick. It’s great for a day out or even wearing something comfortable to work.

Let’s add some fierceness, shall we? Here I wore my lovely plain black ankle boots, and I wore a black belt, too. It’s easy, simple, and it’s chic! Also, add a little more fun to the outfit by rolling up your jeans a little.

Jackets & Blazers

If you need a quick go-to look, then simply throw on a basic cardigan. I wanted something simple and cropped. I put on this lovely beige cropped cardigan, and I think it looks gorgeous!  

If it’s a little cold outside or you need something a little more formal, then just simply add a plain black blazer. How sophisticated does this look? I love a good blazer, and I feel this is a quintessential outfit for any closet! The blazer itself is a little oversized, so it gives off a nice layered vibe. This is seriously my go-to outfit if I don’t know what to wear.

The beauty of wearing a basic outfit is that you can have fun pairing it with fun prints and colors without looking like it’s overkill. As you see here, I am wearing a stunning patterned jacket.

Opt for a more tuxedo-type blazer too, it’s so flattering and gives off a gorgeous overall vibe. This is definitely a business/casual look.

Since we are already talking about jackets, don’t forget that coats go a long way, too! This is a great option, especially on those chilly days where you need something more functional to keep you warm. I love the gray plaid I have on- It’s a classic print, and it’s lightweight.

Want something really fuzzy and warm? Throw on a faux fur coat!

It looks chic, and it’s super playful.

Here’s another classic coat option; a plain long double-breasted coat. I wore this in black and changed my shoes for some knee sexy boots. I think this look is just so sheer and on fleek! I added a colorful, fun printed scarf, and it really takes the outfit to a whole new level. I really love a good pop of color, and this is exactly the vibe I’m going for- timeless.

And those who dare to be different…. Throw on your fuzzy bathrobe. Just kidding!

Going back to the good stuff, another timeless and classic option is pairing your basic tee and jeans with a leather jacket. You can’t go wrong with that! I’m wearing a cropped leather jacket because it’s way more flattering on me, but again, you can choose whatever you like.

Vests

Another lovely style is layering your outfit with a vest! How cool does this look? It gives an edgier vibe to the outfit, and the color is just gorgeous. Oversize knit vests are totally in right now. I tucked this one in and paired it with some white loafers.

Another vest option is a button-up vest. This is dressier and is a lovely men’s wear look.

Switch up your accessories

Going back to basics, let’s add more flavor to our accessories. You will notice how subtle changes really go a long way. Here I opted for a printed leopard belt with a pair of killer red heels. It really adds a bold touch to the outfit.

Or, switch your belt up to another color! I’m wearing a cobalt blue belt with some blue jewelry. This one definitely puts the fun in funky. It’s fun and colorful.

Matching your accessories is also another fashion hack. Here I am wearing a green heart necklace with a green matching purse. I also paired it with nude heels and a snakeskin belt.

Casual to 90s’ grunge

I am of the mindset that you don’t have to match the same colored jeans. I really think two different colors look awesome. If you want to make this look a little more classy, opt for some nude heels and throw on a belt.

90s’ grunge is also really cool and gives off an unexpected twist. I love the edgy vibe this outfit gives off. I’m wearing black combat boots, and I threw on a plaid oversized button-down shirt. This really screams 90’s, and I just adore it!

Keeping to the oversized glam, I am wearing a blue striped oversize button-down shirt with a pair of white sneakers. It’s really a laidback look but has some formal elements to it, too.

So, what outfit idea was your favorite? I really had fun with this style guide, and I hope it inspired you to dress sassy and stylishly. The best part about this tutorial is that a white t-shirt and basic denim jeans are essentials almost everyone has in their closet. So, dressing it up with items and accessories is really easy.
