7 Awesome T Shirt and Jeans Combinations [0:00:00]
For most men, the t-shirt and jean look is their default outfit. But, all too often,
it looks terrible. Ugly dad jeans, oversized t-shirts. Guys, we’ve got to stop to it.
I’m sharing with you seven ways to wear a t-shirt and jeans and look amazing.
This first look drawing from the 1950s, we’re going for a classic cool old school look.
First up, let’s start with the jeans. Going with a close-fitting pair of indigo denim
and make sure you choose a pair with no holes, we don’t want the distressed look. Let’s
roll the cuff just slightly for a rugged cool appearance.
Next up, let’s add the classic white t-shirt. This is as timeless as it gets. FYI, t-shirts
originally were used as undershirts, so going with white is a call back to the roots of
this menswear staple. And keeping with the old school look, go with a dark brown combat
style boot for a rugged esthetic. Rounding off the outfit, we’ve got a great-looking
watch. I chose a chronograph with a silver case, navy dial, and a dark brown leather
band. Any man in reasonably good shape can rock this outfit and look amazing.
All right, gents, time to embrace your dark side. So, let’s switch out the indigo for
a pair of black jeans in a slim cut. Now, let’s add a black V-neck t-shirt. This creates
a monochromatic look which lets the eyes go up and down and creates a slimmer silhouette.
This combination is perfect for shorter or heavier guys as it makes you look a little
bit taller and a little bit leaner. The V-neck also emphasizes and broadens the chest making
you appear more muscular. Keeping with the theme, let’s go ahead and
match this with a pair of black fashioned sneakers. And, please, gentlemen, don’t
ruin this look with running shoes. Finally, complete the look with a stylish watch, maybe
with a little bit of red accent right there on the dial.
Now, this is a bold outfit, it’s going to best compliment a man with a high contrast
complexion. We’re talking darker hair, lighter to medium-colored skin. That being said, if
you’ve got dark skin and dark hair, this combination works for you too.
Now, just because you’re wearing a t-shirt and jeans doesn’t mean you have to look
super casual. Let’s go bold here. For this combination, let’s start off with a pair
of white jeans and match it with a burgundy V-neck tee.
Tuck in the shirt, add a casual leather belt. As you can see I chose one in dark brown right
here. And now, let’s elevate this look by bringing in a navy cotton blazer. And don’t
forget to toss in a fun pocket square. And if you want to make this outfit look a
little less buttoned up, a little bit more cool, go ahead and roll he sleeves on the
blazer. As for the footwear, let’s go ahead and choose a pair of dark brown brogues and
finish up the look with a silver watch with a metal band. I tell you, this outfit right
here is a killer -- simple, casual, but still sharp and put together.
So, adding the right style pieces to your t-shirt and jean combination can make you
look like a total badass. So, to start this look off, let’s go back to our dark indigo
jeans and this is going to be our base. This time, let’s pair it up with a dark gray
t-shirt. So, on top of this combination, we’re going
to throw on a dark brown leather jacket. This is going to add the bad boy vibe. Seriously,
denim and leather have both been shown in studies to give off the feeling of strong
masculinity and a rugged appeal. And, let’s add a bit of flair to the outfit
by wearing a pair of suede Chelsea boots. The color, let’s go with honey. This right
here is going to be a little bit lighter, it’s going to add a pop of color and draw
attention and get you compliments. Let’s top off the outfit with a nice watch,
a sleek chronograph with a gold case, green dial, and a brown leather strap. Sometimes
you just want to be laid back and this outfit is the perfect way to show it.
So, we want to start this outfit off with a well-worn well-fitted pair of distressed
denim. Next up, we’re going to match it with that classic white t-shirt. Next up,
we’re going to add a great button-down over the t-shirt, we’re going to leave it unbuttoned
and we’re going to roll the sleeves for a relaxed look.
For the shoes, let’s go with the white sneakers. As you can see they work really well with
the white shirt and with the pattern in the button-down. And, of course, bring in a nice
watch, a simple chronograph with a silver case, white dial and blue leather strap.
Now, a lot of guys may think, “Hey, this outfit is too sloppy.” But, it’s all about
the fit, gentlemen. Nail the fit with the button-down, nail it with the t-shirt, nail
it with the jeans and you can make this very casual look still look great.
Every man needs a great look for when the warm weather hits. However, what we’re talking
about here is something a little bit more attention grabbing. I’m telling you, gents,
white jeans are the perfect color choice when you want to stand out and the temperature
is high. They may be eye-catching, but they’re also
casual and they’re comfortable and they’re going to keep you a lot cooler than dark-colored
denim. And to give them an even more relaxed look and make them cooler, make sure to roll
the bottom of your jean cuff for more ventilation. Now, to pair up the white jeans let’s go
ahead and add a striped navy tee. I know it’s a bold combination, so you have to have confidence
to be able to pull this off. Next up, bring in some great footwear like
two-tone penny loafers and now you’ve got a breathable stylish look. And, of course,
top off the look with a casual chronograph watch in gray for a solid combination.
[0:05:00] So, for this look, let’s go back to our
classic indigo jeans and we’re going to pair them with a light gray crew neck t-shirt.
You want to add a denim jacket. But, let me be clear, you want a different shade than
your jeans. We’re not looking for the Canadian tuxedo look. I find for more combinations
having a little bit of contrast there is a much better look.
So, for your footwear choice, let’s go with something classic, but let’s go with something
casual. How about longwing brogues? And, finally, finish off the look with a great-looking watch
in a silver case, black dial, and an eye-catching green strap.
Which combination did you love? Which combination did you hate? I want to hear from you down
