Fashion Impact: Nothing but a T-Shirt On

The t-shirt was once merely something we all threw on for bed, or wore to the gym. A casual garment that sometimes we wouldn’t be caught dead wearing out in public. Ohhh, how times have changed. Here at NL Collective Group, we believe that the t-shirt is now nothing short of a wardrobe staple. The chic new version of the classic t-shirt is all over runways, showrooms and retail stores, being marketed to every woman. Whether it’s plain, covered in an understated design, or slapped with a cheeky statement, it’s something every girl needs in her wardrobe. When paired with the perfect piece, like a maxi skirt, skinny pants, or a statement necklace, a t-shirt looks anything but heedless. Luxury designers Dries Van Noten and Reed Krakoff branded the look perfectly, pairing slouchy plain t-shirts with loud, elegant skirts. Or, follow Xuan-Thu Nguyen’s lead and pair a t-shirt with a restrained design alongside a statement necklace to spice it up. No matter how you do it, a t-shirt goes with almost anything. So throw on a t-shirt whenever you want to look clever and stylish—and it’s so comfortable, you can still wear it to bed too. We won’t tell.
