If you’ve got a striped tee in your dresser drawer but you’re not quite sure what to do with it, I’ve got you covered today with three easy casual outfit ideas that will take you from the gym to the office (or home office)!

I do think a striped tee shirt is a very versatile staple item that you can wear in many different situations and with so many different outfits. I love a striped tee! I think of them like a white tee with a little extra sumthin sumthin.

I do like to choose pieces for my wardrobe that do double (or triple!) duty — the more versatile the better!

This particular tee shirt is from Amazon’s Daily Ritual line. It’s a rayon/spandex blend (95/5%) which has a very nice silky, stretchy feel. I have several of these shirts, in white, black, and stripes. They wash well and easily and are very affordable at under $20. This style is a “swing” style that has a little more room around the hips and tummy if you like that. I do! I’m wearing a 3x.

Look #1

I’m starting with the most casual outfit – a sporty, athleisure look. I think stripes are perfect for a sporty look and this tee is long and loose enough to skim over the top part of the leggings. Finish the look off with some athletic sneakers and you’ve got a great outfit for walking or hanging out with friends….or working from home during quarantine!

  • Catherine’s leggings, size 3x. No longer available, comparable here and here.
  • Adidas, old.

Look #2

Take the casualness up a notch by swapping out the leggings for lightwash jeans and white sneakers. Do a full-tuck, half-tuck, or knotted front for a little extra pizazz (ha ha, I don’t know that I’ve ever actually written that word before!). I knot my tees with a coated ponytail holder. This shirt is actually a little long for a neat knotted look. It works better with a little less fabric.

Look #3

Create an office casual or evening with friends look with some skinny black jeans and a duster-length black cardigan. When I’m wearing a lot of black I like to break it up with some natural tones. Here I’m wearing leopard print loafers and have a cognac tote. This keeps the outfit from being too matchy-matchy.

I hope these looks gave you some different ideas for wearing a striped tee-shirt!
