Black T-Shirts that are Better Than Basic

If you’re anything like us, you like your clothes how you like your coffee—black. Regardless of what you wear, a black T-shirt is the basis of all your outfits, and you have an entire drawer of them. Although you don’t have a shortage of black tees—from the muscle tank to the crop top, you have one in every cut—what you might be lacking are ones that go beyond basic.

Your bland black T-shirts serve their purpose, but you can add extra attitude to every ensemble by buying ones that go above and beyond.

Aim to Pleats

Pretty pleats are a simple way to add sophistication to any silhouette. A black T-shirt is typically boxy, so the addition of crisp folds gives it a refining quality that will look striking on top of a pair of trousers.

Mesh About

Black tees are so easy to wear with anything because they’re so simple. Simple doesn’t have to mean dull, however. A shirt with mesh panelling allows you to show a sliver of skin without being too sexy. Wear one with slimming black skinny jeans that will subtly show off your curves while you’re at it.

A Stripe Dream

You might be a master at black-on-black monochrome, but you can really earn style stripes in a black T-shirt with a linear design. The tee takes a turn for the sporty with a stripe or two around its sleeves or hem. Play up the athletic touch by wearing it with luxe joggers and lacing up your coolest pair of kicks.

Off the Fringes

A comfortable black T-shirt is key for those days when you’re on the go. But if you really want a shirt that will move with you, try one that’s finished with fringe at its hem. Fringe can bring any ensemble to life while giving off the message that although you love all-black-everything looks, you don’t take yourself too seriously.

You can black out your outfit without making it boring. A black T-shirt with any of these interesting elements will make a stylish statement.

These black shirts are anything but boring.
