30 Ways To Wear: Navy and White Striped Tee

This navy stripe v-neck tee has definitely proved its worth in my wardrobe, and it's time to do a 30 ways to wear post showing all the ways I've worn it over the years.


30 Ways To Wear: Navy White Stripe V-neck Tee




I bought this tee on sale at the Iconic all the way back in 2014, for just $20.21. With a stripe tee and tees in general being such a staple for me, I'm surprised it's taken me 6 years to get this tee up to 30 wears! I suspect that perhaps it's because I just have too many tees, particularly striped ones, in my wardrobe, but this one is a real favourite.


Cost Per Wear


At 30 wears, the cost per wear is 67 cents, which is great value, particularly as this tee doesn't show any signs of how old it is. it's quite a thick material, perfect for layer up in winter, and I really like wearing it with cardigans. Here are the 30 ways I've worn it so far, and I'll definitely increase that number of wears in future, it's a keeper!


Navy Stripe Tee With Shorts


Nothing more classic for warm weather than a simple striped tee and shorts outfit! It's easy to alyer up a little like I have in the first three outfits too, with the vest, scarf and cardigan, for when the weather is slightly cooler.



Navy Stripe Tee and Jeans


This outfit formula is in direct competition with the one above - as while shorts and tee is a staple in sunny Queensland, for colder climates jeans and a tee would be the most classic! I've mixed it up a little bit with these 3 outfits, pairing the navy stripes with colourful denim instead of basic blue.


Navy Stripe Tee and Bright Accessories


The neutral navy and white stripes on this tee really do go with anything - and are a perfect base for a pop of colour, from a bag, scarf (or even a bag and scarf!) or a bright cardigan like that mustard one. It's so easy to add more colour to a neutral outfit with accessories.


Navy Stripe Tee in Winter


This tee is a bit cosier and thicker than some of my other stripe tees, so it's perfect in winter! The stripes look great layered up for a bit of print mixing with a scarf, and of course being neutral stripes, any block colour cardigan works great on top too.


Navy Stripe Tee and Skirt


You know from the outfits above that denim and striped tees are a classic. This striped tee works with other skirts too. Like ruffle skirts and even a pencil skirt (and a baby bump!). There really is no style of skirt that doesn't work.


Navy Stripe Tee and Maxi Skirts


Of course, I had to call out maxi skirts, my most love skirt length separately, as I love the easy combination of a striped tee and a maxi skirt. While I'm partial to that ochre one as I think the orange looks great with navy, the tee works well with others in my wardrobe too.

Why I wore it:

Felt like it had been a while since I'd worn this pretty maxi skirt I scored from my sister's wardrobe clear out so I gave it another wear with pink, with this pink satin tank. I really love pink and blue together! This was a nice light outfit for a busy day, with the school run and working from home. Didn't need to carry much so this navy Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford bag was the perfect accessory - and it matches my navy Havaianas so well.

Last worn: pink satin singlet, beaded necklace, tie dye maxi skirt, navy Havaianas, navy Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag.

BagRebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight


Why I wore it:

We had a couple of errands to run and a click and collect order to pick up while hubby dealt with our washing machine repair. As it was a warm day I thought a tank and maxi skirt combination would be good, and the perfect opportunity to give this tank a wear. It's one from Sheila's wardrobe she passed onto me when she sent me back the bag she decorated. It's definitely something that feels a bit to dressy for my day to day life, I think it would be great in an office, but I am determined to get more wear from it and tried to dress it down a little with this maxi skirt.

Not really confident this was the best outfit, but I love the colour of this tank so I'm determined to come up with more ways to wear it.


Last worn: navy beaded necklace, floral print maxi skirt, navy Havaianas (above), navy Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag (above). First time I've worn the tank as it's a recent addition to my wardrobe.

How You Can Wear It:

Pairing a printed piece like a maxi skirt with a plain block colour piece like these pink tanks is such an easy outfit formula! Perfect for a warm day.
