June has arrived, and temperatures are gradually rising in Japan. How are you doing?
Well, T-shirts are staple items in summer fashion. In this article, I’ll introduce 3 T-shirt styling ideas that are perfect for early summer ♡
How will you style T-shirts this summer? Let’s Go!
1. Character-printed tee × Detachable collar
A character-printed T-shirt is eye-catching on its own, but I styled it with a detachable collar. The nice thing about this look is that the collar doesn’t cover the graphic.
I especially recommend this kind of styling for those who don’t usually look their best in a crew neck. Generally speaking, a crew neck isn’t the most flattering option for people with a Dramatic Classic body type or a round face. I have a round face myself, so I often pair these kinds of T-shirts with a collar or a necklace to balance the look.
On this day, I wore a T-shirt from Yuko Higuchi’s exhibition. The cat peeking out from under the collar is cute! Feel free to pick your favorite character :)
I paired it with trendy baggy denim bottoms. They’re easy to style with any top, and the thick silhouette gives off a cool mood.
2. Graphic tee × Sheer top
How about layering a sheer top under your graphic print T-shirt?
The key is to coordinate the accent color of the graphic with the inner layer. In this look, the bright pink in the graphic stood out, so I chose a similar shade. By switching up the inner layer, you can create a variety of styles. You’ll always feel fresh when wearing your T-shirt!
Sheer tops are not only fashionable but also practical. The lightweight sheer fabric is perfect for keeping cool, even with long sleeves. It also offers protection from air conditioning and the sun. So, they are must-have items from spring to summer!
3. Multi-Striped tee × Shorts × Colored items
The final styling idea may be a bit unique.
Striped patterns are a classical design for T-shirts. They make it easy to look stylish even when paired with simple items. Among them, multi-striped T-shirts offer various vibes depending on the colors and thickness of the stripes, allowing you to show different looks to suit each pattern.
For this outfit, I chose one with a dusky purple base that has a vintage feel. I added brightness and cuteness with acy shorts that contrast with the T-shirt.
When styling shorts, being particular about leg wear is a basic rule for fashion lovers. Wearing boldly short shorts with colored tights instantly elevates your look!
And of course, the use of colors is key.
Here are some of my favorite color combinations for you to try:
Clothing Color × Colored tight
- Dusky Purple × Deep Red (This styling!)
- Bordeaux × Ice Blue
- Brown × Khaki
- Rime Green × Purple
- Navy × Orange
- Black × Turquoise Blue
etc…
Try exploring Pinterest or other image sites to find your favorite color patterns.
It might be a little warm in the middle of summer, so I recommend this look especially for now, early summer.
