The cropped length of this denim jacket can make your simple T-shirt look more trendy and fashionable because of the play in textures. Wear it with matching denim jeans or a skirt for a well-coordinated look!
Tie-string linen pants
The comfort of tie-string linen pants comes from the airiness of the fabric and the adjustability that the tie string provides. It can be a comfy companion with your basic T-shirt, that’s for sure!
Denim jacket
Of course, let’s not forget the ultimate casualwear staple of them all – the traditional denim jacket! Its edgy structure, color, and texture, will give more depth to your outfit when you wear it over your plain T-shirt.
Long black cardigan
This works best if you’re styling a plain white T-shirt because we all know how the contrast between black and white simply makes a sophisticated look! The long length of the cardigan will not just give you warmth but also produce a visually elongating effect.
Monochromatic black outfit
I’m pretty sure many of us have at least 2 or 3 black T-shirts! One classy way to style your black T-shirt is to go all-in with this classic color by going for a monochromatic look. Try a matching black coat and skirt with your black T-shirt!
Knit cardigan
Another cardigan on our list is this knitted cardigan that has a looser knit. This will also add visual interest to your plain T-shirt and it’s something you can wear when it’s not too chilly since the material is more lightweight compared to tighter knits.
Knitted skirt
A knitted skirt that comes in a soft neutral tone such as beige can really give your T-shirt ensemble a minimalist yet elegant touch. Most women in their 60s prefer more coverage so I suggest you go for midi to maxi length.
Deep V-neck
Deep V-necklines can transform a basic T-shirt to something that’s more edgy and chic and it’s mostly because of its elongating effect that highlights the décolletage. Pair them with jackets or cardigans that come in neutral colors as they are very versatile.
Floral maxi skirt
One stylish way to work around the plainness and simplicity of T-shirts is to go for a printed bottom. If you’d like something feminine and dainty, then one of your best options would be a floral maxi skirt.
Dark-washed skinny jeans
Whether you choose to wear light or dark-colored T-shirts, you’ll find them very flattering with dark-washed skinny jeans! Dark-washed skinny jeans can easily blend with a wide variety of tops and its dark shade also creates the illusion of longer and leaner legs.
Straight-leg jeans
Straight-leg jeans are definitely a must-have for every woman in her 60s because of how comfy and forgiving their relaxed silhouette is! Wearing it with a T-shirt can give you that simple but chic casual look.
Pastel colors
Well, there’s no rule about when you can wear pastel colors but I’d say they look the best during the summer and spring seasons because of how their softness and vibrance blend well to the weather! If you’re shopping for spring and summer outfits, don’t forget to load up on pastel T-shirts!
White cotton pants
If you love the breathability of your cotton T-shirts, then you’ll also love to pair them with cotton pants. Having them in the same fabric can give you that streamlined, polished look all over.
Light-colored flared pants
Thinking of giving your usual T-shirt outfit a bit of a retro touch? Then go ahead and try light-colored flared pants for that sweet 70s to 60s fashion nostalgia!
Vibrant colors
T-shirts that come in neutral colors will always be your foolproof fashion choice but if you’re in your 60s, you’d also want to explore more T-shirts in more vibrant colors like pink, aqua, or yellow! Vibrant colors will bring more youthful radiance to your look after all!
Tucked-in
T-shirts may seem really basic but there are so many ways to wear them in style! One of the best ways to wear it is to tuck it into your high-waisted bottoms as this will help balance your proportions and elongate your legs.
White jeans
White denim jeans are also one of the most versatile clothing staples out there that can truly work with a variety of tops. Whether you choose to go for a matching white T-shirt or opt for something more colorful, your white jeans will act like your ultimate style canvas!
High-waisted olive pants
Olive green is a very adaptable yet unique color that really works so well with basic white T-shirts! Try searching for this pants color in a high-waisted design for the leg-elongating and waist-defining look.
Flare jeans
If you love the flared leg shape of the pants I previously mentioned in this list, but want something more casual, then go for its denim jeans version! Denim jeans look good with pretty much anything and the flared silhouette of the jeans will give your look that vintage charm.
Vibrant wide-leg pants
The sweet combination of vibrant colors and the wide-leg silhouette is a match made in heaven especially if you’re styling something very basic such as a T-shirts. If you’re wearing white or other light-colored T-shirts, the bright color of the pants can help bring more depth and drama to your simple look.
Long A-Line skirt
The classic A-line silhouette flatters almost every body shape and size out there and not only are they figure-flattering, but the volume this skirt style carries can also help bring more dimension to your plain T-shirt.
Short pastel skirt
Who says women in their 60s can no longer wear short skirts? In fact, short skirts can also look very nice with T-shirts because of how the two balance each other’s proportions – with the shirt highlighting your upper half and the short skirt elongating your legs.
Skirt with elastic waistband
Skirts that come with an elastic waistband can be a great choice to pair with T-shirts, especially if you’re looking into tucking them in. The stretchy waistband gives your waist and the T-shirt itself a more accommodating fit.
