Oversized Shirt with White Tank and Light Jeans, Assorted Colours

The shirt is the piece that makes this outfit. It is oversized, textured, and striped vertically in purple, so it lengthens the frame while giving the eye something to look at. Buttoned up it is a shirt; worn open over the white tank it becomes a light jacket. The tank is plain and crisp, and the light-wash blue jeans finish the look with a relaxed, easy feel.

Wear all three together for a brunch, a casual Friday, a weekend stroll, a college day or a road trip. The tank and jeans are wardrobe basics you will use for years, and the purple shirt pairs later with black trousers or a white skirt when you want colour.

• Oversized purple vertical-striped shirt with texture
• Crisp white tank top
• Light-wash blue jeans

Care: wash the shirt with colours and the tank with whites, both cold. Wash the jeans inside out and line dry. Iron the shirt on medium.
