6 ways to style a basic tee like a celebrity

What was once strictly reserved for a day off has quickly become a go-to for nonchalant chic. Elevated from basic to 'bae'sic, this wardrobe workhorse even has Karl Lagerfeld's approval. After all, he did say, "You can be the chicest thing in the world in a T-shirt and jeans—it's up to you." And who are we to argue?

Turn to our favourite celebrities for inspiration on how to sport the humble tee in style.

Denim do-over

Jeans and a white tee are a tried-and-tested uniform, but that's no excuse to be lazy. Forgo basic denims for embellished ones as seen on Blake Lively or follow Shraddha Kapoor's monotone example with a white-on-white look.

Short story

Kangana Ranaut makes a strong case for varsity T-shirts worn with denim shorts and sneakers. It may not be sports luxe, but we're sold on the youthful athleticism.

Skirting the issue

Give your formal pencil skirt an unexpected twist with a tucked-in T-shirt like Beyoncé (extra props for a graphic tee) and Anushka Sharma.

Print party

Print on print can be a tricky trend to master, but Nargis Fakhri and Olivia Palermo show us how it's done. Fakhri aces stripes on stripes by opting for varying widths, while Palermo doesn’t shy away from sprinkling sequins on her tee-and-mini combo.

Match point

Victoria Beckham's matching tee-and-culottes look is streamlined and sexy. Bonus points for the pleats. 

Top it off

No matter how plain and simple your tee, adding a killer coat or jacket elevates it instantly. Note how Deepika Padukone takes her grey tee and skinny jeans up several notches by throwing on a baroque jacket, or how Miranda Kerr’s casually- draped pastel blue coat adds cheer to an all-navy outfit.
