Not So Plain White Tee

While I am the most enthusiastic advocate for striking silhouettes, over-the-top footwear and jumbo-sized jewelry, I strongly believe that the understated items in one’s wardrobe are equally crucial. You know, the everyday attire that acts as a strong foundation, ready to be built (or excessorized) upon! For me, it often comes down to wide-leg jeans, a structured jacket and loose-fitting top…specifically this Mississippi Snakeskin Burnout Tee by Nation LTD.

Proving that luxury can exist in something as simple as a t-shirt, this oversized drapey piece is my idea of downplayed glamour. With a cowl neck, rolled sleeves and subtle snakeskin print, it is the perfect base for a cool day-to-day look. I literally find myself wearing it a few times a week. Try incorporating Nation LTD’s Tee—check out all of their amahzing styles and colors—into your own wardrobe…they look perfect worn long with your favorite pair of jeans, tucked into tailored shorts or even thrown over your swimsuit as a cover-up! Loves it. Availability: Nation LTD Mississippi Snakeskin Burnout Tee ($115). For additional retailer information, visit Nationltd.com.
