Look Amazing in a Tee

Fashion Trend: The Classic Tee

The tee shirt has been the quintessential summer top that works for every occasion. Whether you pair it with your favorite pair of jeans heading to the farmer’s market, a tailored blazer for your business meeting, or wear it sequined and fitted for night on the town, the tee can be your go-to top for this summer.

The July 2012 In Style magazine saluted the tee, naming the top 12 reasons we should love it! Their reasons included:

1. Makes you happy
2. Layers easily
3. Covers your butt
4. Won’t stretch out
5. Totally versatile
6. Speaks loudly (with your favorite saying)
7. Super yummy (in silk)
8. So sexy
9. Comes in autumnal hues
10. Comes in neutrals
11. Comes in brights
12. Comes in pastels

Speaking of brights, one of the hot colors for this summer is watermelon, which pairs well with white, khaki, tangerine (the color for Spring 2012), or boldly with cobalt blue. Grab a tee in watermelon and enjoy the many ways in which you can wear this pretty and punchy hue.

What do you love about your favorite tee shirt? How do you accessorize to pull together a striking look? Here are a few combinations I’ve selected to help you make a statement when you wear your tees.

Look 1: Classic Statement

Double these two necklaces for a playful look on top of a white, creamy, heathered blue/gray, or watermelon colored tee. Pair them with the earrings and bangle for a complete look. This is a great way to dress up a tee shirt.

 

Look 2:  Go Big!

I call this go big or go home! This wonderful statement piece can be worn alone and goes with every type of tee. Go simple with your earring. You can wear this look from the office to the club. It’s a good day-to-night ensemble, particularly when paired with the cubic zirconia earrings.

 

 

Look 3: Playful

This is a playful look I just love. It is perfect for a casual tee and jeans on an informal day. I’ve paired this Joyful Gathering necklace with a long charmer necklace (because it has such a beautiful sparkly quality; it’s all in the way it's cut) with 4 or 5 charms (you choose!). Complete your look with these earrings and bracelets and you’re on your way, looking great all day. 

Take a few minutes to add some flair to your tee and you'll notice it adds life to your look.
