Create not-so-basic
looks with basic tees
& tanks

It’s easy to throw on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. But even your every day look deserves a little fun, so jazz it up using easy layering tips with your basic tees & tanks!

Rule #1 – There are no absolutes! The best thing with fashion is that creativity and personality are totally cool, so create your own mix: tee over tank, tank over tee, tee over tee, etc. Play with necklines, sleeve lengths, garment lengths, hem details ... and color.

Rule #2 – Use common sense. You’ve heard it before, too much is like too little. Keep it simple with one or two style effects and don’t overlook the “bulk factor”. Fabric not too thick, slick not clingy, no more than two “full body” layers and please...draw the line at “border lines”! Don’t let them guess there’s a V-neck or a short hemline underneath.

Rule #3 – Color your world... but not too much! Brights must not compete for attention. Pick a winner and accent it with a softer hue or a complementary shade. Black, white, grays and tans are great neutrals and always look right! You can also go tone on tone, especially if you’re wearing color below the belt... speaking of which, belts and 3D elements underneath your layers add unattractive bumps. Pants or skirts with flat waistbands will definitely work best for this type of look!
