WATCH: How to style your basic white shirt ala Janine Gutierrez
Right after the little black dress and a perfectly fitting jeans come the basic white shirt.
It's a closet staple that has limitless possibilities, whether it's tucked into high-waisted jeans or layered under a slipdress for that cool '90s vibe.
Its main “job” is to fit perfectly, look effortless, and get better with age (unless it gets those nasty stains!).
So you might want to stock up on your favorite version because you'll want to wear a white tee all day, every day once you see these inspiring outfit ideas courtesy of Dragon Lady star Janine Gutierrez.
1. Tucked in
Nothing beats the classic jeans and shirt combo! It's a formula you can't go wrong. Janine advises to tug your shirt well so it falls perfectly in place even up close.
2. Tie-knot
Show off the abs you've worked hard for all summer by twisting and tying the ends of your shirt into a knot. It shows a little bit of skin and is one of the easiest ways to modify a baggy t-shirt.
3. Scarf it up
If you want to add a pop of color, adding a scarf is the way to go. Janine says scarves give your basic tee a bit of flair and warmth especially when she's visiting a country with a colder climate.
4. Add a blazer or a jacket
A basic white tee will look more formal when paired with a blazer while a denim jacket gives it a cool, casual look.
