The combo of a summer white skirt and a plain t-shirt becomes downright chic with the addition of key accessories: strappy sandals, straw hat, and a black belt to cinch your waist. Get the look for yourself below.
To me, the real star of this outfit is the skirt. It’s not easy to make something as formal and ladylike as a white midi skirt look relaxed and effortless. But it can be done! By picking a more casual fabric like poplin, you can take some fussiness away. COS’s cotton skirt is almost a spot on match. The panels add a certain relaxed modernity to the whole look. This Quince skirt, J.Crew’s lace pintuck skirt, or this River Island option are all great, too.
You probably already have a favorite white t-shirt. But in case you’re ready for a fresh one, I love this Donni shirt or Splendid’s looser signature tee. Just make sure to throw on a skinny belt when you tuck it in, like this Madewell essential.
A woven bag adds visual interest while holding all your essentials, like this Dragon Diffusion bag. I love the structured shape! You can always downsize to a crossbody for something a little sleeker. This Loeffler Randall option would work for day and night. If black feels too harsh, you can always swap out a dark chocolate brown like this Madewell hobo.
Finally, you need something to tie all the black pieces together! A strappy pair of black sandals you can comfortably walk in. I love Margaux’s Wrap sandal, TKEEs wrap sandal for under $100, or Stuart Weitzman’s splurge-worthy pair. A small heel wouldn’t hurt either, like this Banana Republic pair. The low triangular shape reminds me of some of Prada’s shoes from last season. Throw on a wide-brimmed hat, and you’re ready to hit the town!
