This "Boring" Basic Is the Key to All of My Easy Summer Looks

I'm going to be honest here. I dread dressing for the summer. I think we've all been in the position where we put together an outfit that is subsequently ruined by sweat, sweat, and more sweat. Aside from wearing nothing, it seems almost impossible to look your best in the heat of the summer. When I have that dilemma, that's where my favorite "boring" basic, an oversize T-shirt, comes in handy. The top you used to only wear for bedtime is now a full-fledged fashion staple. 

Last summer, I bought a few raggedy T-shirts that I often wore with leggings, but this season, I'm buying a few and styling them in a more elevated fashion. While retailers used to opt for a fitted look for womenswear, they're finally catching on to the fact that comfort is being prioritized more than ever. After a lengthy online search, I found plenty of great options that'll fulfill your T-shirt needs this summer. Keep scrolling to find your picks and be inspired by comfy yet chic outfit inspiration along the way.
