The t shirt is a popular piece of clothing but it's synonymous with leisure wear. It has therefore always been frowned upon as a smart garment for work. However over the last few years the t shirt has started to
sml merch in the work place and cross the boundary into smart office wear. The aim of this article is to show you a couple of ways in which to smarten up your designer t shirt to be able to wear it into the office.
Step 1: Teaming With Trousers
For a casual day look, most people team their designer t shirt with a pair of relaxed jeans but this look doesn't work in an office environment. It's therefore vital that you choose the correct trousers to wear with your t shirt in order to carry off the smart look required.
There are basically two options available for teaming with your t shirt. The first is to follow through with the smart/casual look by wearing your designer t shirt with a smart pair of jeans. Typically the jeans will be in a fitted style, with only subtle detailing and be in a classic colour such as dark indigo.
The second option is to team your t shirt with a smarter pair of trousers. Tailored trousers in a contemporary colour such as grey or black will instantly smarten up the look.
Step 2: Other Clothing
One way of really pulling off the t shirt to work look is to accessorise the t shirt. A crisp white t shirt looks great when teamed with a tailored suit jacket. It oozes sophistication. By teaming a long sleeved t shirt in a dark colour with a contemporary tank top is a throw back to yesteryear and adds a quirky element to your smart look.
For a more dramatic look, team a classic grey or clean white t shirt with a tailored waistcoat.
Step 3: Footwear
No look is complete without footwear and this is one of the most important elements when trying to smarten up your designer t shirt. It is no good going into the office wearing your Converse trainers or Adidas running shoes as they are also synonymous with more relaxed styles.
