1 Base, 10 Outfits: How To Style Wide Leg Jeans and a Striped Tee in Multiple Budget-Buy Outfits
Wide leg jeans and a striped long sleeve tee are essential wardrobe staples. You can create many outfits around these basics in your closet. You can wear them by adding layers and shoes creating different looks. To get the most out of our wardrobes, we need to have several wardrobe staples in neutral colors. In today’s post, I am sharing how to add different layers and shoes to a white tee and black pants to create ten outfits. I am using this striped long sleeve tee and these wide leg trouser jeans!

The striped dark navy long sleeve tee (you can also use this black striped long sleeve tee). You can use this short sleeve indigo striped tee if you prefer.
For the wide leg jeans, I am using these Wide Leg Trouser Jeans, but you can also use these Old Navy Wide Leg Jeans (budget) or these Gap Wide Leg Jeans (budget) if you prefer. If you want a slight wide leg look but more fitted, try these Gap bootcut jeans! There are several styles of outfits in this post, including smart casual outfits you can wear to work and casual outfits.

Outfit 3: Sweater Blazer & Loafers
A sweater blazer, like this Sweater Blazer in “vicuna heather” is a lovely alternative to a traditional thick material blazer. If you live in a warm climate where you have mild fall temps, a sweater blazer is perfect for you. And, for a warmer fall climate, just swap the long sleeve striped tee with a short sleeve tee. I personally have these exact Loraine Bit Loafers and they are very comfortable with no break-in time needed. These loafers are in the “saddle” color.

Great ideas! Thank you.
Love these ideas and will use many of these with items already in my closet! Thanks for this post!
Perfect! Love these combos for the season! 🍁🍂
I love anything with a striped top and leopard print, Leanne. Outfit 6 is my favorite! What I would love to know is how you successfully wear a belt! You always look so polished and trim when you wear one and I never seem to be able to pull it off. Thanks!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
