There’s a certain sophistication to a t-shirt outfit, if done well. And if street style has proven anything this season, it’s that comfort reigns supreme. That doesn’t mean we’re all parading around in our sweats; in fact, it’s just the opposite. Sweatpants have been replaced by loose-fitting, and at times, low-rise trousers (some of us are not ready for jeans quite yet) in an effort to ease ourselves into dressing up again.
The easiest way to style a good pair of well-tailored trousers is with a classic t-shirt. It’s a simple recipe and a pairing that’s both comfortable and stylish—versatile, even. Whether you’re headed to the office, out to drinks with friends, or on a Saturday stroll, just throw on a trouser and t-shirt, and you can leave the rest up to the accessories.
Below, five t-shirt and trouser pairings for this season’s most laidback trend.
9-5 at the Office
A perfect office look is polished, clean, and prepared for the extreme office air conditioning.
After-Work Drinks
Go for a tighter t-shirt if you’re taking your look from day to night and embellish it with accessories of your choosing. (Pro tip: a bodysuit is an easy way to remain wrinkle-free into the evening.)
Keeping It Casual
For a Saturday stroll, dress down your trousers with some Adidas Sambas and a lightweight pouch for your long day of errands.
City Slicker
Pair your trouser and t-shirt outfit with a classic Mary Jane and a hair scarf for a day of museum visits and gallery hopping.
Dressed Down Suiting
Emrata is a fan of dressing down a suit with a pair of sneakers and a cropped t-shirt, and so are we.
