If you can’t tell, we’re in a perpetual nautical state of mind at SG HQ. So it’s time to give one specific time-tested, boat-ready staple the 5 Days, 5 Ways treatment. That’s right, we’re talking about the striped t-shirt.

A striped t-shirt will do your solids one better by bringing extra flavor to your outfit, without being, y’know, too much. Stripes play well with other prints and patterns, and automatically elevate your basic tee with a certain je ne sais quoi, n’est’ce pas? Oui!

Below, five ways to wear a striped t-shirt:

MONDAY
how to wear a striped t-shirt casual outfit

jacket: Gap | sunglasses: MVMT | chinos: 1901

headphones: Fitbit | wallet: Fossil | sneakers: Converse

Wear it well: Paired with a denim jacket and olive chinos, the striped tee looks right at home. Want to up the trendy factor? Swap the pants for a modern cargo version in the same neutral hue.

TUESDAY
how to wear a striped shirt casual look

jacket: Banana Republic | chinos: J.Crew | shoes: Rivieras

watch: Ted Baker | glasses: Warby Parker

Wear it well: This look is devious in its simplicity. You can’t go wrong with dark colors on the top and bottom when you get just a hint of fun thanks to those “Somebody get me a mai tai” Rivieras on your feet.

WEDNESDAY

suit: H&M | loafers: De La Rentis

pocket square: Nordstrom Men’s Store | watch: Komono

Wear it well: Yes, you can wear a striped t-shirt with a suit. This is especially a great look in the summer, when you can (comfortably) finish off the look sans socks.

THURSDAY

backpack: Herschel | pants: Dockers | sneakers: Vans

socks: Bombas | belt: Express

Wear it well: This time, we’re swapping the chinos for a 5-pocket pant and adding a backpack for an easy-breezy travel look.

FRIDAY
striped tshirt with shorts outfit

shorts: Tilly, $30 | cardigan: Land’s End, $70 | cap: Faherty, $38

sneakers: Tommy Hilfiger, $60 | bracelets: Miansai; A.R.Z. Steel

Wear it well: Taylor has a fun tradition of buying a tourist-y piece of apparel whenever she travels, and I might just have to adopt the habit.

Why? Well, it’s fun to have a memento from a trip. And when they have that pre-worn-in vibe like the Nantucket number above? All. The. Better.
