It can be dressed up or down, never goes out of style, and when you spill some of that chocolate soft-serve right down the front? Well, it can be bleached and come out looking just like new. If that’s not enough incentive to replenish your stash of trusty white tees, Rue La La Stylist Caroline M. has remastered the classic for every summer agenda. Say goodbye to what-to-wear woes and test-drive these three effortless looks instead.

 Who says you can’t wear a tee over a dress? Not us. Try popping one on top of a sheath for your next fete. Knot it at one of the bottom corners to give the illusion of a less-formal skirt underneath.

The best part about a white tee: it goes with everything (printed shorts included). Accessorize this combo with minimalist slides and a punchy clutch, and voilŕ! A picnic-ready getup that keeps you cool on sunny days – and looks good doing it.

Think of your tee as a blank canvas for the perfect date-night ensemble. A few sparkly accessories like a statement necklace and metallic pumps dress up this closet essential without trying too hard. So you can focus on the conversation – without fussing with your outfit. We’ll cheers to that.
