B.T.S.E. #2 for Men!

Okay fellas...new week...new tip. We're still in our Back to School Essentials mini-series and this week we are bringing you a back to school essential that we know all of you should have...tees. Whether it be a plain v-neck or some sort of a graphic tee, this item is essential to a college student's wardrobe because of the effortlessness if takes to wear one casually or dressed up. So sit back, relax, take a few notes, and go out and get some tees for your wardrobe!


Tee Look 1: The Plain Tee


Okay...if you look to the left, you'll see Chad Ochocinco in casual outfit with a plain tee. He has on a grey v-neck, a pair of blue pants, and a pair of grey sneakers of some sort. This is honestly the easiest look of this post and just in general that one can achieve. 

Start with BDG Deep V-Neck Tee in white. (Trying to show you guys a different color option besides what is shown) Then throw on these Taupe...almost peach Slim Bedford Chino Pants. For shoes you can do something similar to this pair of Vans E Street Surf Sneaker in Indigo, Creative Recreation Kaplan Sneaker in Grey, or do something different and try these printed Trees Southwest Sneakers






Moving on to Tee Look #2...the Graphic Tee


Okay... Tee look number 2 comes from none other than blog favorite, Chris Brown. If you haven't noticed by now we feature him a lot. He's very fashionable and almost everything that we've blogged about he's worn it... and Well! C.B. is seen wearing a graphic tee underneath a light denim jean jacket paired with denim jeans. This goes to show you that you can wear jeans and a jean jacket...the right way. Then he finished the look off with a red fitted and green and red sneakers. This look is fairly easy to achieve, but we'll show you a different route you can go as far as denim. 

Start with this White and Black Printed Tee from Urban Outfitters. Then instead of doing a pair of denim jeans, try something similar to these Olive Chino Pants. For your jean jacket you can do this Jean Vintage Denim Jacket. For shoes you can do this pair of Red Vans Authentic Sneaker or even these Red Chambray Sneakers

Moving on to the last Tee look...A versatile/Dressy-Casual Tee outfit!



Okay for this last look, we wanted to show you a look that we consider dressy-casual and one that can be worn with a plain tee or a graphic tee. Kanye is seen to left in a white blazer over his white tee, a pair of denim jeans, and a pair of black loafer type shoes with detailing on them. The blazer and shoes contribute towards the dressy side and the white tee and denim jeans contribute towards the causal side. 

To achieve this look start with a blazer similar to this Heather Grey Knit Blazer form 21 Men. Now you can go one of 2 routes...you can do something like this Plain V-Neck in Dark Green or you can do a graphic tee like this Yellow/Black Dennis Hopper Tee. For pants you can do the same pair with either shirt...something dark wash like this pair of Levi 511 Commuter Series Jeans. Now whatever shirt you chose will determine what shoes you do. If you went with the dark green tee then you can do something similar to this pair of Light Grey McKinley Oxfords or step outside the box and do a printed shoe like these Osborn Classic Conte Oxfords :-) . Now if you went with the yellow graphic tee you can go with something similar to this pair of Black Wingtip Shoes



Well fellas...that's all for this post. We hope we gave you some outfit ideas you can see yourself in and you learned the versatility of a plain/graphic tee if you didn't already know. Feel free to leave any questions or comments you may have! :-)
