A classic white T-shirt is one of the most foundational pieces in any wardrobe, but it doesn’t have to look bland. To give it an rock-inspired edge, you don’t need to rip out your whole wardrobe—just a few strategic additions can transform it from plain to powerfully bold.

Try combining your white tee with sleek satin-backed trousers or a ripped denim mini. The contrast between the clean cotton and the tough material instantly adds attitude.

Don’t skip the outerwear—throw on a tailored black blazer or an unbuttoned flannel shirt left loosely draped for a effortlessly polished look.

Accessorize with industrial-style pieces like a thick layered bangles or stacked chains with charms that have a slightly gritty feel.

A studded belt worn at the waist can accentuate your curves and add a touch of rebellion.

Your soles matter—think combat boots with rugged hardware or even elevated retro kicks.

Don’t forget to roll up the sleeves just a bit and leave a the first three loosely open for that nonchalant cool.

Tuck the tee in just enough to define your midsection but let the fabric drape softly.

For extra edge add a matte plum lipstick or smudged charcoal liner to balance the simplicity of the tee.

Ultimately, aim to let the tee be the neutral foundation and let your layers and autry soldes accessories do the talking.

Embrace controlled chaos and you’ll turn a basic tee into a fashion-forward focal point.
