How to dress up and layer a t-shirt like a stylist

As the fall season is fast approaching, you may consider a t-shirt as the layering piece to add a modern aesthetic to your look.

A t-shirt is the staple piece for casual, low-key wear from the gym to the beach and street style. But lately, it has become the key piece for layering tailored garments like a suit or blazer. 

Master the art of layering a t-shirt like a stylist with a few tricks and styling tips.

Styling tips

Find the perfect fit

  • Choose a classic cut with well-fitted shoulders and seams that line up with the ends of your shoulders. So it’s not too tight around your chest and waist.
  • The length of the tee should be long enough without exposing your midsection when raising your hands.
  • A well-fitted t-shirt should drape over your chest and follow the line of your torso.

Choose high-quality fabric

  • The higher the fabric quality, the longer will last and hold the color and shape of the t-shirt.
  • Look for soft, breathable, and less likely to wrinkle materials such as linen blends, merino, jersey, and stretchy fabric like lycra or spandex.
  • Do not choose synthetic fabric except for sporty activities.
  • Do not choose an ultrathin or lightweight fabric because it may look like an undershirt instead of a t-shirt garment.

Pay attention to the neckline.

  • A double-stitched neckline, especially if it’s white, makes the t-shirt look higher quality.
  • Crewnecks flatter almost all body types and are the best choice for women with a thinner frame.
  • V-necks give the illusion of height and balance a short torso or neck.
  • Stay away from t-shirts with logos or graphics and choose solid colors like grey, navy, black, or white.
