5 ways to layer a white tee & jeans for winter

A white tee & jeans is a great base for pretty much any season and time of the year. if I don’t know what to wear, a good place to start is putting on these two items and going from there.

Layering items, changing out shoes, and adding different accessories changes up the look entirely and certainly proves that you don’t need a whole lot of different clothes to have a versatile wardrobe. I’m wearing a short sleeve tee shirt in these photos, but I think a long sleeve tee would work as well, and it would add some extra warmth.

The first look is layering a cardigan sweater over a white tee. I chose to button mine up, but you could also leave it unbuttoned if you prefer. This cardigan is part of a matching set from Amazon and I’m a big fan of this color.

I paired the cardigan with my Birkenstock Boston clogs and some layered necklaces.

This look turned out better than I expected— a black denim jacket with black Chelsea boots and a black leather purse. I love how simple it is, but it feels super put together. I think changing the denims out would look really great too (a blue denim jacket and black jeans). T

his jacket is from Kut from the Kloth and is very comfy with a good amount of stretch to it.

For this look, I just layered this taupe brown sweater over a white tee. I’m a big fan of how the collar of a white tee looks when it peeks out from under a crewneck. This sweater is 100% cotton and one of my favorites from Quince— it comes in so many colors.

To keep it matching and functional, I wore my blundstone boots. These are the 1306 boots in rustic brown. I have oiled them with mink oil several times, so they do look darker than when I originally bought them.

These last two outfits are the same outfit with two different scarves— I am really into a bright pop of fun color lately, but I know not everyone is, so I wanted to add a neutral option as well.

I truly love both outfits and would wear each of them, depending on how I’m feeling and wanting to look. Both scarves are from Amazon and two of my favorites. The shacket is also from Amazon and I own it in this green and also the taupe color.

I know it’s controversial, but I like to wear my bearpaw slippers as shoes out and about. I feel like they match my cozy, comfy, casual vibe and they’re also super cute.
