I Wear a T-Shirt and Shorts Daily But Want to Try These 7 Chic Outfits
Unsurprisingly, my standard summer look basically consists of a T-shirt and shorts. While the vibe gets an A+ in my book in terms of its classic and comfortable nature, I’m interested in testing out some fresh 'fits this summer. In addition, a few of my friends also recently asked me for some cool outfit ideas. Naturally, I turned to IG and scrolled through the feeds of some of my favorite fashion people to uncover said chic ensembles. A preview? I'm talking about easy looks like a cool sweatshirt-and-denim pairing, a modern vibe with a scarf as a top, and so on.
If you’re interested in testing out a new look, keep scrolling to check out seven outfits that could be worth trying if you want to switch it up. And if you’re currently shopping, you’ll also find some inspiration on how to master each look.
Sure, this ensemble is in the same vein as a tee-and-shorts combo with the cutoffs, but I'm particularly into the forward nature with the slouchy white shirt.
One of my friends recently asked me for a unique outfit idea. I suggested something like this with a scarf as an alternative to a top and cool denim.
I'm feeling this vibe with the trendy tank and flowy loose pants for something different.
A boxy white shirt tucked into a black skirt is sleek and particularly cool with Converse sneakers.
This look with the breezy skirt and cute button-down would actually be just as comfortable as a T-shirt and shorts. The trick here is just buttoning one or two in the center to let it flow.
I'm definitely going to try incorporating an oversize blazer into my tee-and-sweatshorts look to mix it up. Sporty sandals complete the look.
Teaming a printed tank or blouse with faux-leather shorts feels so chic and very right now.
Next, check out cute crop-top outfits.
