The Versatility of a White T-Shirt
White t-shirt was first considered as an undergarment, something a men would wear under his work clothes. It was like that until in the 1950s. Everything changed overnight when Marlon Brando wore it in 1951 movie ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’. Since then it was viewed as something rebellious and cool and it became probably the most iconic and timeless piece of clothing that is now worn by people of all ages and backgrounds.
That’s mostly because of it’s simplicity, versatility and comfort. A white t-shirt can be paired with almost anything, making it a staple in many wardrobes. It can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion and it can be worn in any season. White pairs well with almost any colour, making it a perfect element to match with different shirts, bottoms, jackets and accessories. Below, I’ve attached some outfit inspirations that show how versatile it is.
