Spice Up Your Jeans and Tee Combo

Hello! We all have that favourite pair of jeans and a tee that we are constantly wearing. And to be honest, as much as I love them, the combo just gets a bit boring sometimes. Me being me means that I hate wearing the same outfit over and over less than a week apart and I thought that this may be an issue for some of you guys too. So here is my guide to spicing up the classic jeans and tee combo so that you can feel and look great even when you are lazy!

My first tip is to try denim on denim. This used to be a crime against fashion but it is really coming back right now as I have seen it all over the place. It is best to either go for an exact match in your denim colour or go completely opposite - light blue jeans and a black denim jacket, for example. Wearing denim on denim really adds an edge to any look and will show everyone that you are not afraid to express yourself through your style.

I think one of the easiest ways to inject a bit of life into your lazy day outfit is to throw in a bit of colour. A bright red or even a neon tee would be perfect, don't limit yourself to black, greys and whites. I especially love a tee with a cropped boxy silhouette as it is just perfect for layering long sleeves underneath. Opting for a monochrome long sleeve tee under your bright cropped one really allows the colour to pop and make a statement. You could even go for a monochrome tee on top with a neon turtle neck layered underneath, anything that works for you and what you have in your wardrobe already.

Similarly to my last tip, this is another layering technique that will really liven up your look. But this time it's flipped as i think using the t-shirt as the under layer and a silk camisole on top makes for a really interesting look. A white tee under a black cami would create lots of contrast but if you have a more statement pair of jeans on, black on black would still add texture to your look.

For my next time it is time I mentioned the very much raved about blazer. A blazer instantly adds class and elevates your classic wardrobe staples like light washed jeans and a simple white tee. This look is quite timeless but also at the same time something that is very on-trend for the past few seasons. You simply cannot go wrong with chucking a blazer over whatever you're wearing.

Of course i had to mention the good old graphic tee, a definite wardrobe staple. One of the best things about them is that they can actually act as a great conversation starter especially if you are proud of your favourite band and have them plastered over your t-shirt. A graphic tee really adds interest to an outfit and completes any look.

Considering just about everyone and their dog has worn jean and tee outfit combos at some point or another, it makes it really easy to take outfit inspo from just about anyone including decades gone by. Or even your favourite film and TV characters. Don't stick to what everyone else is wearing around you, stand out from the crowd with a look inspired by Rachel from Friends or the kids form Stanger Things!

Finally, to dress up your casual jeans and tee combination why not add a pair of jazzy shoes? They don't even have to be heels (my lazy self despises wearing heels!) just a pair to cool coloured trainers or a statement pair of boots. This whole combination is a go to for a casual night out at the pub or even a first date.
