How 6 Celebrities Make a T-Shirt and Jeans Look Expensive

We live for a memorable red carpet moment or a splashy party look, but sometimes the celebrity outfits that provide the most inspiration are those that are more pared-down—the ones that offer more utility and that can be replicated in our own closets. Take, for example, a classic T-shirt and pair of jeans. The two are a timeless, effortless pairing that will never go out of style, and celebrities consistently wear this duo in a way that looks polished and effortless.

Of course, as we all know, all it takes to add some oomph to a tee and jeans is by rotating in some stylish accessories. But there are also a few other factors that come into play, like choosing the right fit for your top and jeans, the way you tuck your tee, and even other factors like color combination.
