It’s safe to say that a plain white t-shirt is a staple of nearly everyone’s wardrobe. A basic piece which can be worn casually or dressed up, its versatility makes it an essential part of the modern wardrobe.
Take, for example, the white Venezia unisex t-shirt in our shop: made from 100% organic cotton. The front of the shirt is adorned with a black & white original photograph captured in Venice, Italy. A closer look reveals a gondola full of sightseers being transported along the Grand Canal with the Rialto Bridge in the background. The entire scene is encircled with a black border and just below it, the (Italian) name of the city is written in a stylized and elegant font.
To demonstrate how this already chic item can be dressed up, we’ve styled a complete look in two versions (since this is a unisex item, after all): one for women and another for men.
The styling of both looks has been configured to fit in seamlessly with modern city life: elegant and understated pieces have been selected from brands which are distinguished by their attention to detail and exceptional quality. For the women’s look, we imagined the styling to be ideal as a great date night look or one which is perfectly suited to a casual night out for dinner in any upscale bistro, chic hang-out in any major city in the world, etc.

In order to create a cohesive and complete look, we’ve suggested specific glam details which fit in with the overall color story, thus creating a balanced yet elegant palette. We kept the emphasis on the eyes and opted for lips and nails which are more muted and understated, but definitely not boring! See our fashion layout for the details of our glam selections.

For the men’s look, just as we did for the women’s look, we imagined the styling to be suitable for a man who pays attention to the finer details of his wardrobe and chooses accessories which make a statement about him in an elegant yet understated way.
In our styling, we’ve purposely stayed away from using brand logos and have instead placed our focus on achieving the level of exceptional personal style that is synonymous with refinement.
