The ultimate summer outfit that can also be adapted for spring and autumn with just one white t-shirt.

By the way, I don’t consider myself fashionable with just one white t-shirt anymore, and the photos I provided are from my younger days, so this is aimed at people in their late 30s to early 40s.

The go-to outfit that easily comes to mind with a white t-shirt is white t-shirt + jeans + black Converse, but this outfit is only suitable for young models. We don’t want to end up being teased as “Yoshida Eisaku!?” (a reference to a Japanese actor known for a particular style), so let’s skip that one.

So, can you look stylish with just one white t-shirt? The answer is yes. However, it requires some advanced techniques.

Concretely,

Afterward, I will explain in detail with photos.

First, regarding “Choose pants with a clean silhouette,” to make a white T-shirt, which is inherently casual and can be considered underwear or an undershirt, work as a fashion statement, it’s essential to wear pants with a clean silhouette to create an overall refined appearance.

In the photos, the second pair of pants from Scye naturally has a clean silhouette, so you can keep that as it is. However, the first and third pairs are vintage pants. While you have chosen pants with a clean silhouette, to make them even more refined, you’ve added center creases to them. This helps to elevate the look and gives a sense of sophistication even with a white T-shirt.

Next, for “Add a standout item with a unique detail,” this is necessary because a single white T-shirt can lack impact on its own, leaving no focal point. Therefore, deliberately create a focal point to draw attention and guide the viewer’s eye towards it, creating an overall sense of refinement.

In the photos, in the first and second images, you’ve intentionally exposed the belt to make it a point of interest. In the third image, you’ve used a parasol.

Finally, “Wearing leather shoes” serves as a crucial element to achieve “dressing down” and introducing an item that disrupts the overall casual feel, making it a stylish and vital component of this single white T-shirt outfit.

This single white T-shirt outfit can also be adapted for the lingering heat of September, making it a versatile choice for various occasions. I hope it has been helpful to everyone.

As the scorching summer heat is coming to an end soon, let’s continue to put in a little extra effort as we transition into the fall season.
