How to wear a black T-shirt? Three points that men should keep in mind
Black T-shirts are the least assertive of the monotone t-shirts and can be worn in a variety of ways to create different looks. From here, we will carefully select three points that mature men should keep in mind first, and introduce them along with notable men’s coordination.
The black T-shirt is the centerpiece of a stylish one-tone black or monotone outfit.
If you want to express a cool and stylish coordinate with a black T-shirt as the main feature, it is a good idea to put it together in black one-tone or monotone. As shown in this snapshot, black is used for everything from bottoms to caps, bags, shoes, and accessories, creating a mysterious, all-black mode style. The use of shiny textured items in some parts of the outfit adds rhythm to the look, avoiding the impression that the outfit is too long-winded.
Point 2: “Layer a white T-shirt with a white T-shirt to create a sophisticated look.
Next, we picked up an outfit in which a white T-shirt is layered under the black T-shirt. By letting the white T-shirt peek out from the neckline, hem, and cuffs, the balance of the color scheme is renewed and the styling impression is refreshed in a good way. However, be careful not to show a white T-shirt without a clear idea of what it should look like, as it may look tacky. Take a bird’s-eye view of the overall balance and determine where the white T-shirt should be left out or accentuated. Snapshots of fashionable people show that most of them leave 1 to 2 cm of the white T-shirt showing at the neck and cuffs and 3 to 5 cm at the hem.
The oversized black T-shirt and wide pants are a trendy combination with a “loose silhouette” that gives a sense of fashionable style and makes a difference!
To express a trendy look with a black T-shirt, it is effective to choose a drop-shoulder or oversized black T-shirt and wide-leg bottoms to create a loose silhouette. By using techniques such as tucking in the T-shirt or rolling up the pants to create a loose silhouette, the black T-shirt outfit will surely be updated with a more trendy look. To find the right balance in the overall outfit, refer to the stylish people’s coordinates shown in the OTOKOMAE snapshots!

At John Elliott, we found this atmospheric smudged black T-shirt with a sophisticated design that can be worn timelessly, while extracting the essence of the grunge style created by Kurt Cobain and the street style of the season!
