How To Dress Up A Jeans & Tee Look

 

Finding a perfect-fitting yet comfortable jeans, has been a lifelong struggle. Over the years I have found the a few pairs that fit the bill. And often when they are just right, I don't want to ever take them off. Lately, I have been reaching out of the basic jeans and a t-shirt as my go-to casual daytime outfit. But you know me, it can never really be JUST jeans and tee. Taking cue from that today I am sharing how I upgrade a jeans and t-shirt outfit, so that I can wear it from running errands to wearing to the office, on to cocktails and even date night out. 

Here are three tips to follow for a chic jeans and tee look: 

1. Go for high waisted skinny jeans 

High-waisted skinny jeans are a women's fashion trend that's still going strong. This sexy jean cut flatters nearly all body types by magically smoothing curves on larger bodies and creating the look of them on straight figures. It's also a fashion-savvy way to add instant style to even the most basic outfit in jeans. 

2. Knot a button-down shirt to show off your waist

I used to believe that you cannot do that unless you have a flat stomach. And then I grew up. Finally, in my mid thirties, I have started knotting my t-shirts (as seen here) and I all wonder is why didn't I start sooner. On a serious note, this trick elevates the otherwise simple look. It gives a dimension to your waist, makes the outfit look chic.  

3. Add high quality Accessories

Last but not the least, accessories to upgrade your outfit. A chic leather bag (or backpack in my case), aviator sunglasses and quality footwear can make your look appear more expensive from head to toe, for that "carefree chic girl on-the-go" effect.

Today's outfit is what I wore this week to the Clarksburg Summer of Likes Event. I got this whole outfit from one single store: Calvin Klein. <Fun Fact: In my teenage years, 90% of my wardrobe was from Calvin Klein. Looks likes 90s are back in my personal style too!>
