Replace Those White T-Shirts

Question:

I usually wear a plain white t-shirt under open collar shirts and also, one of my favorite looks - a plain crisp white t by itself tucked into a nice pair of jeans with a nice pair of tennis shoes. Good looks or out dated???

Answer:

White t-shirts under open collar shirts + jeans + tennis shoes can not be considered good looks. It is kind of outdated now. You should start considering wearing button-down shirts either long sleeve or short sleeve with jeans rather than adding a plain white t-shirt inside or even just a plain white t-shirt. Your shirts can have nice patterns like checks or stripes to match the good old casual jeans.

Check out the picture of the man in check shirt with fold long sleeve and jeans. Absolutely rugged looking, stylish, and manly. To make yourself look your best, I would definitely suggest well-fitted shirts. (picture from The Sartorialist)

Even if you do consider wearing t-shirts, you can consider wearing nice fitted t-shirts with many vibrant colors or patterns available now. It doesn't need to be plain white. Consider wonderful colors like yellow, red, or even sky blue for a change.

For your shoes, check out the latest designs from sports shoe makers like New Balance, Puma, and Adidas... they are now making new range of fashionable sports shoes that are not only meant for sports but also fashion statement shoes. They come in much brighter and more colorful styles. This is the moving trend. However, I can't deny that I personally still have preference for white Converse canvas shoes with jeans.
