There are a lot of different outfit combinations you can make with even the most basic wardrobe staples (but of course, as fashion lovers, you already knew that). However, if there were one pairing we could never get tired of, it’s T-shirts and skirts. Sure, you can always wear a graphic tee with your favorite pair of jeans, but if you’re in the mood to give your look a more refined touch, a cool skirt will be the way to go. When styled accordingly, this classic two-piece outfit can be perfect for nearly every occasion, whether it’s a casual lunch meeting with a colleague, weekend get-togethers with friends and family, or an easy day to yourself.
Of course, just like any other effortless ensemble, wearing such versatile pieces can often feel redundant. Not to worry, that’s where we come in. Ahead, you’ll find a comprehensive collection of It girl–approved ways to style a simple T-shirt with a chic skirt. Once you take a look through each of these, you’ll have a brand-new arsenal of ideas for styling these essential pieces.
