Her rules for the perfect white T-shirt? It has to be oversize, crisp, and menswear-inspired. A boxy, crisp cut makes a plain white T-shirt less casual and adds structure to any outfit. Another great detail to look for in a white T-shirt is a crewneck. This classic neckline is more formal compared to other styles and can be paired with any outfit.

So what does she pair with a white T-shirt for make a look instantly street style–worthy? A pop of color via your pants, bag, or heels. Take a cue from Beckham and pair a white T-shirt with a blazer and colorful heels for a day to night look. Or wear with dark-wash jeans and oversize sunnies for a relaxed yet chic look.
