A traditional combo like jeans and a tee may not sound terribly exciting on paper, but this pairing has infinite possibilities. Simple changes like a wide leg or a relaxed fit add immediate interest. Then, when you add in some fun details like a pair of block heeled mules and a bold belt, you’re into an entirely elevated sartorial category.

Give this easy approach a go next time you want to step up a basic pairing!
