Must-have tees
and accessories
Pink pocket tee
Brighten up your summer wardrobe in an instant with the help of this bold pink pocket tee with a cute high-low hem and a scoop neck (amrag.com, $78). We love the versatility of this T-shirt (wear it with denim, wear it with basic black) and can’t get enough of the fun, fresh hue.
Pair with: Black floppy straw hat (usa.frenchconnection.com, $58).
Linen V-neck tee
Aside from how ultra-comfy this gray shirt is, what we love most about it is how well it keeps its shape, thanks to the linen (madewell.com, $45). The relaxed fit is balanced nicely by the stylish heathered finish on the gray fabric.
Pair with: Long chain heart pendant necklace (urbanoutfitters.com, $24).
Lavender knot tee
Easily give any summer outfit a feminine twist when you add this pretty lavender-hued T-shirt into the mix (modcloth.com, $28). An otherwise plain shirt is given a stylish boost thanks to a gathered twist knot at the neck, which adds a subtle touch of something extra.
Pair with: Floral laminate tote bag (us.accessorize.com, $53).
Metallic dot print tee
This easy-wearing jersey T-shirt in metallic gray would have been just fine on its own — we love the relaxed fit and scoop neck — but it gets taken up a notch with the addition of eye-catching blue and white dots (gap.com, $30).
Pair with: Tory Burch double wrap logo stud bracelet (toryburch.com, $95).
Striped tee
Summer is a season that calls for bolder colors and you definitely get them with this stylish striped tee featuring various shades of pink, blue and lavender (net-a-porter.com, $64). Pair the soft slub T-shirt with skinny ankle-length jeans in white or dark blue and your favorite flats.
Pair with: Calvin Klein white leather hobo (zappos.com, $198).
Muscle tee
Muscle tees aren’t just for bulky, muscled dudes. This one, from T by Alexander Wang, offers a flattering fit in a fabulous shade of purple (shopzoeonline.com, $78). Wear this get-noticed tee tucked into high-waisted shorts or over skinny jeans topped with a boyfriend blazer.
Pair with: Straw fedora (2bstores.com, $13).
Vintage cotton tee
The first thing that caught our eye with this must-have tee was the summer-ready minty-green hue, but what sealed the deal was the vintage-inspired worn-in feel for maximum hot weather comfort (jcrew.com $38).
Pair with: Michael Kors aviator sunglasses (nordstrom.com, $99).
Black and red tee
Striped tees are a summer wardrobe must and you can never really have enough, which is why we had to include a second one on our list. This one, in bold black and red with cute cap sleeves, is made from silk for an elegant twist (madewell.com, $90).
Pair with: Chevron tribal drop earrings (pinkmascara.com, $70).
Coral cropped tee
Embrace a 1980s vibe when you create a summer outfit around this coral cropped tee with roll back sleeves (topshop.com, $20). Pair this throwback from decades past with high-waisted printed shorts and strappy platform sandals.
Pair with: Geometric stretch bracelet in turquoise (bloomingdales.com, $48).
Puff print tee
A plain red T-shirt gets a subtle upgrade thanks to pretty puff detailing, a feature that adds delicate lace-like texture (dorothyperkins.com, $28). Wear this cute tee with anything from pencil skirts to jeans to trousers.
Pair with:Kenneth Cole wedge espadrille (kennethcole.com, $60).
