Outfit 1: Pair your black linen pants with a basic tank and throw on a light denim button up for that easy, laid-back vibe. Add a neutral crossbody bag and matching black slides to keep things casual. Perfect for errands, coffee dates, or a weekend stroll.

Style tip: Tuck in your tank to define the waistline—especially great for petites!

Outfit 2: Elevate your linen black pants with a bold graphic tee and layer on a light denim button-up for that laid-back, effortless vibe. This outfit is perfect for casual spring days when you want to stay cozy but still look put together. Finish off the look with comfy neutral clogs to keep things relaxed yet stylish.

Style tip: Pair a light-colored top layer with darker pants to draw the eye upward and create balance in your silhouette.

Outfit 3: Make your black linen pants more interesting with a graphic tee and add a cotton button up on top for extra warmth. This look is ideal for cooler spring mornings or transitioning into spring from cooler weather. Add comfy black slide sandals to finish up!

Style tip: Go monochrome on bottom and add color up top to elongate your legs.

Outfit 4: Keep your black linen pants casual with a fitted gray tank, then layer a cotton brown button-up for a cozy, earthy vibe. This outfit is perfect for early fall days or breezy summer evenings. Finish it off with black slide sandals to stay comfy and chic.

Style tip: Using a warm-toned layer on top adds dimension and draws attention upward, making this a great trick for balancing darker bottoms.

Outfit 5: Keep it streamlined with a fitted black (or white!) tank and elevate with accessories—like a satin scarf, leather sandals, or a straw bag. A perfect base look that can go from daytime casual to a more dressed up evening.

Style tip: This is a great time to highlight proportions—cropped tanks work well with high-waisted linen pants for a leg-lengthening effect.

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.

I will link each outfit below each photo. I do use affiliate links and this just means that if you purchase something using these links, I make a small commission at no additional cost to you. It helps support this blog and my family and I always appreciate it. Thank you!

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.

If you’d like to save this post and graphic for inspiration for later, at the top left of each photo there should be an option to “save” on Pinterest.

Let me know if you’d enjoy a part 2 of styling a white tee and jeans. In my opinion, the style opportunities are endless!
