A black & white story on the 3 basic white tops you should have in your closet.
1. Fitted Tank Top
This is a great closet staple to have because a fitted tank top can go perfectly with your boxier & more statement bottoms. I prefer this tank over a spaghetti strap tank because I love that these thin straps can conceal your bra strap! (But is still thin enough to look feminine.) I’m pairing my beautiful model friend Rachele with wide-leg pants & this tank top for a more minimal and chic look.

2. Classic Tee
This one is a no brainer obviously! I probably have at least twenty different white tees in my closet, some printed, some textured .. but before you guys get fancy, I suggest investing in a simple tee like this one with a simple pocket in the front. There’s nothing more classic than a white tee paired with black jeans. I love that no matter what time of year it is, this is definitely an outfit that works every single time. Throw on a red lip and you’re good to go!

3. Muscle Tee
Aside from white tops being perfect for pairing with printed bottoms, having a muscle tee in particular can add a stronger element to your look. This preppy skirt immediately looks stronger and edgier after pairing it with a muscle tee. I love playing with feminine but strong styled looks. Complete the look with a leather jacket and booties and you’re good to go!
Lately I’ve been living in white tops .. Do you guys have these 3 white tops in your closet?

Hi Chriselle! I love your blog. Can you do a post on the correct undergarments for certain outfits? Thanks!
At least we do not have to see Chriselle or her mommy as models. They’re both fugly as fuck including their hair & clothes. Don’t know about that skirt though.
Gorgeous photos!

I love a white tee but not a fan of the pocket tee. Case in point how the square became a parallelogram on model. I look at that pocket and I swear I hear it screaming! “Help!!” Also, large breasted women should AVOID the muscle tee. It looks cool on your model, would look encumbering on me.
