The silk tee- This basic style tee becomes a luxurious layering piece because of the material. A silk blend will feel softer on your skin, drape beautifully and have a slight shimmer to it. Go for a sheer style if you are planning on wearing it with layers. Great for summer over a bandeau bra, and for winter to add texture to your knitwear looks. This silk blend is particularly good if you prefer a looser, more draped fit.
This sheer silk tee is from AllSaints, £40.
The cropped tee- It is undeniably a garment that requires a whole lot of self-esteem, but if you have what it takes it is a fantastic go-to style. Choose a crop that you are comfortable with and that looks flattering on your body. Teamed up with a pair of high rise jeans or trousers it will give you a classic yet slightly edgier look that works both day and night. It is up to you what kind of fit you are comfortable with, but try and avoid the too contemporary looking styles. Keep in mind that the style you choose will need to work for along time without becoming unfashionable.
This oversized, cropped tee is from Monki, £20.
The lace tee- If you are looking for something a bit different a lace t-shirt might be just the thing. It is simple, never goes out of fashion and will add texture to any look. However real lace can be quite fragile and require extra care, so if you are wanting a garment that you can just stick in the washer a lace print might be the perfect solution. Try and go for quite a fitted style, a loose fitting lace top can easily get an older look.
This fitted lace tee is from Warehouse, £38.
The embellished tee- Blingy staples are a bit harder to find, but they are out there. Great if you don't want to go too plain, and it looks great both day time and night time all year round. Wear with your favourite denim during the day, and change into a mini skirt for a casual yet sexy night time look. Go for a material that will work 24h a day; cotton or jersey will work as a blank canvas and make your garment versatile, whilst shinier materials can make your garment less appropriate for daytime wear.
This embellished jersey tee is from Linea Weekend, £34.30.
The cotton tee- If you do prefer to layer up and stick to basics a simple cotton tee will do the trick. The choice of colour and fit will make or break this simple staple, so do make sure that you try it on before you buy it. Make sure it is made out of a good cotton blend and that it feels good on your skin, and make sure it is slightly stretchy. If you do find The One, it will be your favourite piece no doubt.
This simple modal tee is from Helmut Lang, £85.
