Similar to a t-shirt but with less fabric, the sleeveless t-shirt is one of the most common garments seen on the street during the summer. Its qualities are comfort and breathability , which is why, when temperatures soar, it becomes a great ally.
On the other hand, it's worth noting that it's not the most stylish piece in the world. The effect it creates on an overall look is very relaxed and even sloppy, especially when combined with items like athletic shorts and flip-flops. However, it is possible to look stylish in a sleeveless t-shirt , and here's how:
-
- Zara
-
- Reiss
While it's not as cool as wearing it alone, layering it under a shirt has other advantages that perhaps more than compensate . The main one is that it instantly elevates the look, making it more suitable for getting around town.
If you want to create this combination, you'll need a white tank top , as it's the color that will work best under both plain and patterned shirts. Above all, avoid striped or patterned shirts. Think light, solid neutrals.
Depending on what you pair it with, you can create a casual or a more sophisticated look. For a casual look, wear an unbuttoned open-necked shirt and complete the outfit with Bermuda shorts or relaxed trousers (like jeans) and sneakers.
If you opt for the smart look, button only the bottom buttons of your shirt , so that the sleeveless t-shirt underneath is visible. Tuck everything into your trousers. Complete the look with dress trousers that reveal at least a small portion of your ankles (socks are a must). As for footwear, you can choose between monochromatic sneakers and loafers. Remember that you can wear a plain long-sleeved shirt (rolled up or not) if you want to emphasize the smart nature of the look.
