Do you want to know one of the hardest things to style? A basic piece of clothing! For some reason, the simpler the item, the harder it is to style it. Take the T-shirt for example. Figuring out how to style a t-shirt shouldn’t be hard, but sometimes it ends up being just that. You might get stuck on colours, prints and even how to make it look not-so-basic.
Well, it’s the Christmas season and no one should have to worry about this. So, today we are showing you how to style a t-shirt. Now, we aren’t doing this alone. We will be taking a few style tips from Nigerian fashionista, OlarSlim.
Olar loves rocking t-shirts, and we know this from the countless times we’ve stalked her page (no one says we’re proud of it). She’s a badass at dressing them up and definitely one person you should be taking these style tips from.
Take a look:
Layer it
Layering is a style option everyone should be acquainted with. Basically, it’s wearing one or two layers of clothing for the ultimate style statement. Olar loves to pair her t-shirts with different types of jackets to give them an instant lift.

Team up with denim trousers
This is what we would refer to as the basics of learning how to wear a t-shirt. You can never, EVER, go wrong with pairing a t-shirt with denim trousers. Yes, it’s a bit expected, but is it not better to wear what’s expected than show up looking crazy? Take a look at some styling options from Olar.

Partner with some bold trousers
If like most people you find the whole denim trouser idea too plain, might we suggest some bold pants? Take things up a notch by pairing your t-shirt with some fun pants like the ones OlarSlim is rocking. They definitely make the t-shirts look better and make for a more stylish option.

Introduce your t-shirt to a skirt
Granted, styling your t-shirt with trousers is great, but how about a skirt? This option adds a dose of femininity that trousers wouldn’t dare. Cup a feel of OlarSlim’s peach skirt and white t-shirt combination or go bold with her Ankara skirt and a blue alternative.

Or just leave things as is
Sometimes, it’s better to leave things just the way they are. No overthinking or over processing. If you’re working with a long t-shirt, you can instantly convert that t-shirt into a mini dress. With this styling option, we always suggest pairing with flats to avoid some *coughs* unpleasant experiences. Take a look at how simple but chic Olar looks.
