Do you have a long or 3/4-length sleeve black tee in your closet? If not, you should! This is a perfect wardrobe staple for fall, and I have some great ways to accessorize it to share with you. You can easily turn this one tee into several different outfits. I have last year's version of the Shade Clothing 3/4-length sleeve tee pictured above, and I adore it. Here are some ways I accessorize it.
1) A scarf! If you've read the style section here for any length of time, you know I loooove scarves and I wear them a lot. You can go for funky & casual with a knit scarf like this one from Old Navy:
Or, you can add elegance and flair to your black tee with a woven floral with a pop of color like this one, also from Old Navy:
If you have the right necklace, don't be afraid to add a necklace with a scarf, too! Either one close to the neck or a longer tummy-length will work, depending on how you choose to loop the scarf.
2) A cardigan – we all need to warm up in the fall sometimes, and your black tee will look great layered under one! Here are two of my favorite cardigan styles for fall. This "open cardigan" from Banana Republic creates really elegant lines but can still be worn as a casual piece with jeans:
And this ruffle cardigan, also from Banana Republic, is to-die-for cute. Ruffles are big this season and this is the perfect way to wear them!
3) With a jacket or blazer. Your black tee will look great under a blazer, jean jacket, or a tweed jacket with a belt like this one from Kohl's.
Pair it with jeans for casual-dressy and dress pants, or a pencil skirt for dressy-dressy. You can wear this variation to work, to church, out for dinner, or to parent-teacher conferences. It's a versatile and beautiful look!
Well, that's how I like to accessorize MY perfect black tee – how do you like to wear yours?

I wear mine with a long denim or gray corduroy skirt – calf-length at least – with a pair of toasty warm tights and some knee-high black boots.
Actually, this article reminded me that I have a 3/4 sleeve BROWN t-shirt and matching boots that I haven't worn in at least two years that I have got to dig out and get more use out of this autumn!
i have worn and worn mine just about to bits. but i love your dressier suggestions. that banana republic cardi is fabulous.
I love, love, love that pink scarf! I love scarves but, I've never worn one. You've inspired me though!
