There are two articles of clothing that should be a staple in every wardrobe. Not only are they are timeless, but you can never go wrong with either of these items. One is a good..no great pair of jeans. The other is a plain white t-shirt. Now ever since I have been buying clothes, I’ve been in search of the best fitting white t-shirt. The t-shirts that I order range from $3 to $35, as it has to fit on my body nicely and have the ability to take several wears. When I find one brand or style that fits me well, I usually order several so that I can stock up just in case they discontinue that style. I believe that you can wear plain white t-shirts with almost anything and in any season.
I wear mostly mid and high rise jeans these days. At first, I was a little apprehensive when high rise jeans became popular again. When I was younger, the hottest trend was low-rise (or extremely low-rise) jeans. I also remember hating how the high rise fit, as they were too tight on my stomach and made for an uncomfortable day. I struggled with this style coming back into style with memories of how miserable I was wearing high rise jeans in the past.
When high-rise first came back, I said “no way, never again” which then slowly turned into a “well they do look cute.” Finally recently, I said “why the hell not” and purchased a pair of Madewell flares. They were on sale, so I figured if they didn’t work then it wasn’t too much of a loss. I loved the pants instantly, so much so, that they are a staple in my wardrobe. Now I own several pairs of high-rise jeans in several styles.
The thing that I love about pairing a plain white t-shirt and jeans is that you can change the look or style based on how you choose to accessorize your outfit. I have worn jeans and a plain white t-shirt during the day and at night. The difference being I would wear heels instead of sneakers, or I change from a crossbody bag to a clutch. The combinations of outfits that you can create are endless from these two essential items. So you have heard what I have to say, what about you? How would you wear your plain white t-shirt and jeans?

Looking gorgeous Rebecca! White T-shirts are my favorite and I love to wear them. White T-shirts can be paired perfectly with jeans and skirts in your closet.
