Who doesn't love the traditional look of blue jeans and the white T-Shirt? James Dean knew he nailed this look. How easy it looks. Effortless and eye-catching.

A uniform of sorts. Does everyone look as good as James Dean, Miranda Kerr, Marilyn Monroe, Princess Diana ...... in jeans and a T-shirt? No, not everyone does look as good as James, Miranda, Marilyn, Diana...

How do we know if we have pulled this look off?
Well you could pull this look off if:
- you have incredibly long legs
- an amazing butt
- amazing statement hair that you can swish over your shoulder
- perhaps a great "I've spent my life outdoors" tan
- can move like a model on the cat walk
- slim
- no excess luggage around the waist area
- a waist
- slender thighs
- you are tall
- cool
We look at the catalogue...we see what we want to look like....we buy the clothes advertised and....we get short changed.
I'm not saying don't wear jeans with a white T-shirt! I am saying tweak your jeans and t-shirt look, to flatter your body shape, colouring and height.
White T-shirt with denin jeans issues:
1. Oh No:
Two different colours cut you in two and make you look shorter than you need to look!
Solution:
Wear a T-shirt that is a similar color to your jeans which will make you look Taller.

2. Oh no:
If you have a long body and short legs then this outfit will not help your legs look any longer
Solution:
Wear shoes with heels to lengthen your legs and avoid flat shoes.

3. Oh no:
If you have excess in your hips and waist area, everyone will know it!
Solution:
Wear a top that has an all-over medium sized print and don't tuck your top in your waistband.
4. Oh no:
If the jeans are in a strech fabric are you always hitching up your pants?
Solution:
Get a belt and wear it!
5. Oh no:
If you are wearing an ill fitting bra and/or you haven't tightened your bra straps for a while..... the closer your chest is to the ground the older you look!
Solution:
Shorten your straps as a quick fix. Next go to a department store that has a bra fitting expert to assist you. Consider buying a bra specially padded for wearing with t-shirts.
Last thought!! Take a look in a full length mirror and take a few selfies. Compare and tweak your look so you can wear your jeans and t-shirt with confidence. We don't have to have the bodies of models to wear this outfit. We just need to work with the bodies we have and make a few adjustments. When you have done your adjustments, you are then wearing an outfit that suits you not someone else's body.

Marilyn Monroe can wear jeans and a shirt but she looks more like Marilyn Monroe in a dress.

However....Here's the cold hard truth....
Some bodies should never be seen wearing Jeans and a T-shirt!
