Trousers or jeans and a white t-shirt create one of the most universally loved outfit combinations we have. It's easy, polished, and timeless. Many would argue it's also a bit boring, but the remedy for this is cool accessories. There's one accessory trend, in particular, that's getting all the attention as of late, and I keep seeing stylish people wear it with white T-shirts—including Alexa Chung.
While out and about in London recently, Chung was photographed wearing a white T-shirt (and trousers) with the trend I'm referring to: an oversize silky scarf wrapped about her waist as a belt. The look is so major that we recently devoted an entire story to the scarf-belt trend, and many of the examples given are women wearing their scarf belts with T-shirts.
Chung opted for a Gucci scarf, which she folded in half and knotted at her waist. As you'll see, she looked incredibly elegant and cool. I don't know about you, but I'm convinced to give this look a whirl myself. Keep scrolling to shop the outfit along with a few pretty scarves to help you re-create it.
