How to Wear Jeans and a T-Shirt Every Single Day

When you think about a uniform, maybe a suit or even a sports jersey comes to mind. But we’ve got another everyday outfit on our radar: jeans and a basic tee.

All it takes to put a fresh spin on this easy duo is a little inspiration. Naturally, we looked to our favorite style stars to see how they style the look. We found Linda Tol in a remarkably creative pairing of jeans and a T-shirt with a dress, Margaret Zhang putting her spin on the look with a statement jacket, and loads of more great looks.

Skip the dress for date night and opt for something a little more laid-back. Strappy heels, a leather jacket, and a crossbody bag add just the right amount of edge to the ensemble.
