A closet essential and a classic, white tees have been donned by celebrities and fashionistas since decades.

This wardrobe must-have can be dressed up or down, making it one of the most versatile fashion items to own. Pop on a blazer or funky necklace on top of a white tee and you've effortlessly quirked up your basic look.

We all have those days when we just want to put on a t-shirt and our favourite pair of jeans everywhere, even to a formal dinner. So here are eight hacks to get creative with your basic tee and dress it up for any occasion.

Psst! You can finally wear your comfy shirt to work for a week straight without raising any eyebrows, though you might want to wash it before using it for five days straight...

1) Tuck it in

T-Shirt Hack 101. Tucking a shirt in accentuates the figure and instantly adds a better look to any shirt. Roll the sleeves up if you want. Add-on: Up your style game by adding a belt. In our opinion, a leather belt will make the perfect look.

You can also opt to do a half tuck, choose a side - front, back or either side - and push it in your jeans letting the rest of the shirt hang out.

2) Elevate it with a funky necklace

Don't leave that neck bare. Bangles and rings are all great, but a fun necklace automatically spruces up any basic look.

Like they say, go bold or go home. A chunky necklace definitely makes a style statement as opposed to a simple one.

3) Wrap a scarf

Sometimes all you need is a spunky scarf to complement your attire. Experiment and go wild with colours or go basic, either way, it'll jazz up your plain look.

4) Wear overalls

The easiest slip-on; overalls can give your outfit a change of look any given day. Literally effortless, all you have to do is put your shirt on and jump into an overall and you're good to go!

5) Suit up

Blazers always up the style quotient. From casual to formal, they are the perfect addition to a white tee.

Our two cents: A printed blazer will really add oomph to your outfit.

6) It's in the jeans

Boyfriend, ripped, bell bottoms, leather pants, formal pants, printed pants... the list is endless. Pick any and wear with a white tee and you've instantly made up for the lack of colour and texture.

7) Bag it

Speaking of accessories, bags pack a punch when dressing up your outfit. Go for a colourful, edgy clutch to add to your look.

8) White sneakers

'Tis the season for whites. We're all loving white, whether it's the sneakers or a white tee or jeans, honestly, and it's one style which is not going away anytime soon. Pair your white tees with your white sneakers for an ultimate fashion boost.

as a nation why are we so impressed and overly focused on how we look? should some (if not more, focus not be on how we perform? what we do and how to work even better? white t or not, gray matter is also essential.

Love it! I am always happy to see goo dressed folks. One should always dress well for ourselves! Pakistan's general population lack a sense of style. I personally love dressing up, I enjoy it, I feel good and everyone should have a personal style. Loving all the looks.
