Beautiful Basics & Fashionable Fundamentals: 3

We need to go back to tee shirts for a moment, because even when they are not what you think of as traditional tee shirts, they represent some of the most fundamental rules of fashion.

Take, for example, a plain, long sleeved white tee shirt. It offers a slimming silhouette, especially when you choose one that does not cling to your torso, but merely skims your body instead.

A long sleeved black tee shirt is even more versatile, partly because it is astonishingly sophisticated. You can do a lot of layering with a piece like this. For example, you can wear it under a dressier shirt, or even underneath a dress!

And no wardrobe is ever complete without the classic black turtleneck. Cashmere is especially desirable, because it is warm, soft, and utterly decadent.
