Trousers or jeans and a white T-shirt is one of the most universally loved outfit combinations we have. It’s easy, polished, and timeless. It’s also a bit boring, many would argue. But the remedy for this is cool accessories. There’s one accessory trend, in particular, that’s getting all the attention as of late—and I keep seeeing stylish people wear it with white T-shirts—including Alexa Chung.
While out and about in London recently, Chung was photographed wearing a white T-shirt (and trousers) of her own with the trend I’m referring to: an oversized silky scarf, but wrapped about your waist as a belt. The trend is so major that we recently devoted an entire story to the scarf-belt trend, and many of the examples given are women wearing their scarf-belts with T-shirts.
Chung opted for a Gucci scarf, which she folded in half and knotted at her waist. As you’ll see, she looked incredibly elegant and cool, and I don’t know about you, but I’m convinced to give this look a whirl myself. Keep scrolling to shop the outfit for yourself, a lot with a few pretty scarves to help you recreate it.
