Let's be real β there are those days when comfort is queen. We all get them. But that doesn't mean you need to sacrifice looking totally stylish. One of the most laid-back yet effortlessly cool combos is the classic Modal T-shirt for men and shorts. Here's how to nail that easy-breezy summer style:
1. The Classic Tuck (with a twist!)
The front tuck is a styling superhero. Grab a slightly oversized tee and tuck in just the front bit for a more relaxed look. If you want to seriously level up this basic, try the French tuck β it's like a half-in, half-out situation at the front. Chic but totally chill.
2. Knot Your Tee in New Ways
The side knot is a classic, but there are other ways to get creative with knotting your tee. Try a knot at the center for a more cropped look, or play with a double knot for a little extra something-something. You can even experiment with knots at the back or the diagonal β the possibilities are endless! Pair your knotted tee with high-waisted denim shorts and some sneakers for a cute '90s throwback look, or dress it up with a midi skirt and sandals for a more elevated vibe.
3. Belt It Up
Who knew a simple belt could work magic with your tee and shorts? Add a belt to cinch in your waist β it'll define your figure while making a basic outfit feel more put-together. Opt for a woven brown belt for a summery feel, or a classic black leather style that works all year round.
4. Sporty & Chic
T-shirts & shorts are the perfect base for a sporty look. Pair your outfit with sneakers, a cricket cap, and sporty socks peeking out just above your trainers. Add a bum bag slung across your body, and you're ready to hit the streets.
5. The "Borrowed-From-My-Boyfriend" Look
Channel your inner rockstar with the "borrowed-from-my-boyfriend" look. Here's how to master it:
-
The Tee: Go big or go home! Look for a Modal T-shirt for men, which is a super oversized t-shirt that often hits mid-thigh or even lower. Graphic tees with cool bands or vintage video game characters are perfect for this vibe. Opt for a solid color if you want something a little more versatile.
-
The Shorts: Mom shorts are your best friend here. They're high-waisted with a relaxed fit, balancing out the bagginess of the tee. Denim is classic, but don't be afraid to experiment with linen or cargo shorts for a more summery feel.
-
The Shoes: Keep it casual with chunky sandals or "dad sneakers." These add an effortlessly cool vibe that complements the oversized tee.
- Accessories: Channel your inner rockstar with a stack of silver or leather bracelets and a pair of statement earrings. A vintage band tee goes perfectly with a choker or a pendant necklace featuring a guitar pick or another rock and roll symbol.
6. Layer with a Button-Down
Layer your favorite Modal T-shirt under a flowy, unbuttoned shirt for some serious vacay energy. Pick a brightly colored or patterned shirt, roll up the sleeves, and tie it at the waist β perfect for throwing on after a day at the beach.
7. Dress It Up with a Blazer
Yes, you can dress up a tee! Take a fitted T-shirt (bonus points if it's got a cool graphic) and pop a tailored blazer over the top. Denim shorts look effortlessly cool, or go more sophisticated with tailored shorts. Finish the look with some strappy sandals, and a statement necklace, and you're ready for drinks.
8. All About the Accessories
Accessories can totally transform a basic outfit. Throw on some statement earrings, a stack of necklaces, colorful bracelets, and a funky hat. Suddenly that plain Modal T-shirt and shorts feel fresh and full of personality.
9. Monochromatic Magic
Keep things sleek with a single color palette head-to-toe. A white tee tucked into white shorts is a summer staple, while black-on-black Women's t-shirts and shorts work with an edgier vibe. Dress it up with some heels or trainers for a casual look. T-shirts & shorts are the best duo you could ask for after all.
10. Tie-Dye Fun
Who doesn't love some DIY magic? Turn a plain tee into a unique statement piece with some tie-dye. Hit up YouTube for some awesome tutorials, grab your favorite kit, and unleash your creativity! You'll have a one-of-a-kind tee to rock with your shorts.
