A white t-shirt is the most basic must-have in every guy’s wardrobe. And we’re sure that you’re bored of it now. But here are some fresh ways you can style it.

New trends and styles keep coming in with every season. It’s like the weather. And for guys, it’s harder to keep up with the trend, as before we even decide to invest in the new trend, a new one has already taken over the market. A simple way to work around this problem is to invest in some fashion staples or in simpler words, ‘must-haves’ that never go out of style–something like a plain white t-shirt. It’s a staple that can be worn in different ways to create a completely new look.

It will allow you to experiment with different combinations of clothing and accessories. So here are 5 different ways you can amp up a regular, plain white t-shirt, a piece of cloth every man must own.

An Open T-Shirt

• One way to wear a plain white tee shirt is by pairing it an unbuttoned shirt of a striking colour to create a balance.
• You will be able to add a little bulk to your arms if the sleeves are rolled up and can also be worn to keep yourself warm, without making it look like an out-and-out winter piece of clothing.
• Your add-on could be a checkered or printed shirt, which will draw more attention to your outfit and make you come across as distinct in a crowd.

Bomber Jacket With Tee

These jackets were originally designed for the military, but are now commonly worn by fashionable men everywhere, especially those riding bikes or at casual parties and events.

• You can choose to either zip up or to leave it open to show your white tee.
• Pair that with your regular pair of jeans and sneakers so that all the attention is drawn towards the jacket and tee.

Casual Blazer With Tee

Blazers are generally considered formals, which are worn only with trousers or straight cut pants. But they are also cool and casual wear now for a semi-formal event, we’re talking an office brunch or the weddings.

• Dress up by teaming a blazer with your plain white tee and a pair of jeans.
• You can also create a contrast by choosing an off-beat colour for your blazer and opting for stone-washed jeans. Perhaps going for an entirely monochromatic look?
• You can also play around with unique prints and cuts on your blazer to make it look edgier.

Scarf With White Tee

One of the most underrated accessories for men are scarves. They are available in different prints and patterns and since they’re inherently colourful and vibrant, they look best with neutral colours.

• Get yourself a cool and funky scarf, pair it with your plain white t-shirt and you will have heads turning on you immediately!
• You can wear your scarf in different ways too, to make new looks. From draping the whole thing around your neck in circles or letting the ends dangle on your chest, there are innumerable ways.
• To add more spunk to that old-school charm, add on a cool pair of shades to the ensemble.

Shorts With White Tee

Going out for brunch with friends and do not want to dress up? In that case, there’s nothing like wearing a comfortable pair of shorts. But, when these are teamed up with a plain white tee, it makes you look more presentable and refined. We suggest that you wear darker coloured shorts, like blue or black to create a contrast.
