The Simple Styling Trick Dakota Johnson and J.Law Use to Make Their Outfits Look More Expensive
It's not every day that I stumble upon paparazzi shots featuring two of my favorite celebrity style icons in the same frame, however, today was an exception. I was delighted to see a photo of Jennifer Lawrence and Dakota Johnson together, showcasing their chic styles. Even though their outfits were noticeably different, they embraced a staple fashion insiders swear by. The basic I'm referring to is a timeless white crewneck T-shirt.
While strolling around L.A., Johnson wore a white T-shirt with a black V-neck sweater, a midi-length coat, baggy jeans, and designer loafers. On the flip side, Jennifer Lawrence showcased a more relaxed vibe. Her outfit centered around a white crewneck T-shirt, a cozy blue zip-up sweatshirt, and black sweatpants. To top off her look, she added a boho-inspired necklace, baseball cap, and Puma Speedcat sneakers, embodying a sporty flair.
On Dakota Johnson: The Row Kelly Sunglasses ($510); Saint Laurent Le Loafers ($895)
On Jennifer Lawrence: Tiffany & Co. x Elsa Peretti Sevillana Pendant ($470); Phoebe Philo Gig Bag ($3500); Puma Speedcat OG Sneakers ($126)
Despite their contrasting outfits, both actresses exemplified the incredible versatility of a white T-shirt. The simple yet essential wardrobe item can look chic and expensive, peeking through a chunky knit or independently with a lightweight jacket. Either way, it adds the perfect layer of warmth, which is necessary as the weather shifts.
What's particularly appealing is that investing in a quality white T-shirt doesn't have to break the bank, as you can choose a classic $50 version designed for longevity or stock up on multiple affordable options under $10 that deliver the same look and similarly luxurious feel.
With all that in mind, keep scrolling to shop for the best white T-shirts for women. These selections are highly favored not only by my colleagues at WWW but also by Johnson and Lawrence.
