The black t-shirt of men has been underrated. It was once taken as an ordinary piece of garment that used the help of other pieces from the wardrobe to look attractive. Eventually, it made a comeback – now regarded as the piece that adds a slick aesthetic to the overall appeal of the person wearing and the clothes it is worn with.
So, let us make you steal the show and grant you the magic wand on styling the black t-shirt. Here’s our designer’s insight on ‘How to wear & style the black t-shirt?’
The art of picking the right black T-shirt is simple and based on the following points:
Consider the Types of Black T-shirts
The major defining factor of any t-shirt – and not just black t-shirts – is its neckline design. Crew necks are the most common type which features a rounded neckline. A V-neck t-shirt is the second most in-demand and worn type of neckline that goes well with a blazer look. The most advanced form of a T-shirt is the one with buttons on the placket and it goes great with a cardigan and a tucker jacket.
Consider the Fit of a Black T-shirt
This point is the simplest to consider. In general, there are just three cuts of t-shirts for men; regular fit, slim fit, and baggy style. Every fit is important and has a specific place in the menswear area but mainly owes on the individual choice. The basic rules here are: pair slim-fit t-shirts with slim-fit bottoms and regular-fit t-shirts with loose or slim-fit pants. While baggy T-shirts are to be worn with slim or big-fit bottoms.
Black T-Shirt with a Suit
The comfortable and smart-casual world has introduced t-shirts as the new staple for a dress code with a slicker appeal and aesthetics. Pair a V-neck t-shirt with a blazer and denim for drawing attention to the center. The ones who like a more studier look of a full suit with a T-shirt should opt for a round neck T-shirt.
Black T-Shirt with a Jacket
A premium black T-shirt under a smoothly fine jacket is the best place a T-shirt can be. This is the most stylish look a man can wear from day to evening from looking casual to looking evening dressed. This is major because there’s no limit to the styles and types of jackets available for men. A denim jacket is a great match for a black t-shirt, as long as the jacket color is different from the jean color. A suede jacket on a black T-shirt is another brilliant choice for looking sharp, and a bomber jacket is another complete choice.
Black T-Shirt with Jeans
A pair of denim jeans or even more belong to every single men’s wardrobe. And if you pair that denim with a black shirt, you will look anything but boring. A single black t-shirt, even one that is purely plain, will go with all washes of denim from light wash to dark wash. Of course just like the other points, the fit of the T-shirt is very crucial. If you wear smart-fit denim more then you should be more focused on the fitment of the t-shirt. Those who like a regular fit in jeans can opt for a regular fit t-shirt as well.
Black T-Shirt with Shorts
Just when the summer sun lights up and gets warm, it’s time to pair your perfectly fitted black t-shirt with shorts whether that means denim shorts or fitted cotton shorts. Your comfortable black T-shirt will go perfectly with gym shorts for a relaxed and functional look. However, for a styled look, the t-shirt can go with the compression pants. Pair a slim-fit black t-shirt with denim shorts and Gym shorts. A slim-fit black T-shirt will keep the whole look polished and less casual.
Black T-Shirt with Sweatpants
It’s no more about liking this piece of garment or not, it simply is the hottest-selling wardrobe piece in the men’s casual wear line. And not limited to this, it has extended to office wardrobe and streetwear style as well. The fit of the sweatpants along with their tapered look is what straddles the line between activewear and athleisure without compromising on looking draggier. The same fit and cut support this bottom piece to go along with a slim-fit t-shirt in black.
