Looking for a way to spice up your summertime basics? Today’s story is for you. As someone who loves any excuse to throw on a simple white T-shirt and, seeing as we are in peak sandal season, I thought it would be fun to round up items that, when combined with those two essentials, can make a complete outfit—and a stylish one at that. Enter: things like layerable dresses and jumpsuits, cool jeans, statement pants, and fun skirts. It seems obvious, but by consciously pieces that make a statement on their own, you can save yourself a lot of time in the styling department. So without further ado, shop my edit of 23 items that just need a white tee and sandals below.
