How to amp up three of the most common summer basics
Ever wanted to jazz up your style using only a few simple add-ons? No need to toss out your favourite basics because with the help of Stylist Natalie Sexton we showed our audience how to take simple clothing items to the next level!
T-SHIRT DRESS
A simple t-shirt dress is a great piece for the warmer months and when paired with the right accessories, it can be worn as an evening look or a daytime look. For example, adding a simple belt can help show off your body shape in all the right ways. If your office is on the cooler side, don't be afraid to rock a boyfriend jean jacket on top of your shoulders. Not only will this give you a blogger-style look but it's also handy if you work in an office that puts the air conditioning on full blast.

WHITE TANK TOP
You'd be surprised just how much you can do with an ordinary white tank top! When paired with a printed wide-leg pant, a fun chunky bangle and bright shoes, a white tank top matches perfectly. Another great option is to toss a linen shirt on top of your tank to help elongate your torso. You can also pair a straw crossbody bag for the summer with elevated gladiator sandals.

DARK JEANS
Everyone has a favourite pair of jeans and while it's easy to just toss on a t-shirt, finding a flattering blouse with a great pair of shoes can really help elevate your look. While pairing a black shirt with dark denim is often a go-to, adding a bit of colour will spice things up! If you're heading on a date night, an off-the-shoulder top and statement earrings are the perfect pair.
