"Jeans and a T-shirt are the go-to outfit for everyone from college students to fashion editors for a reason \u2014 and not just because it&amp;#039;s a comfy look. The simplicity of a great pair of jeans and a clean white T makes it one of the most versatile outfits around and allows you to go from a day at the park to dinner with friends to a night of bar hopping and dancing with just a few quick (and easy!) accessories changes. Here are 10 ideas to help you get the most out of these not-so-basic wardrobe essentials. 1. Printed scarf and boots This look works best with a large square scarf folded in half diagonally and then draped loosely around your neck so the points are all in front. A scarf with tassels or fringe will give the look a little more flare and a pair of flat, knee-high boots will give it balance. Keep from going too &amp;quot;western&amp;quot; by adding preppy accessories like a vintage-inspired watch, signet ring, and tinted sunglasses.

Street-chic sneakers and a fashion cap Sporty doesn&amp;#039;t necessarily have to mean athletic, especially if you utilize pastels, animal prints, and crystal embellishments when making your look.

BLACK, $13; Green Watch, MARC BY MARC JACOBS, $175; Pink and Snake Print High Top Sneakers, TED BAKER, $175; Yellow Backpack, FRENCH CONNECTION, $120 3. Fringed bag and wide-brimmed hat A black-based boho look with a white cotton T feels more city-friendly than one built around brown boots and a lace top.  Three-Quarter Sleeve T-Shirt, GAP, $27; Skinny Jeans, GAP, $70; Gray Floppy Wool Hat, H&amp;amp;amp;M, $20; Printed Crossbody Bag With Fringe, FREE PEOPLE, $148; Skinny Western Belt, RIVER ISLAND, $6; Black Heeled Boots, SOLE SOCIETY, $120 4. Statement belt buckle and ankle boots A buckle like this demands a half tuck to frame it and make it the focus of the outfit. For a casual but pulled-together look, boots and bag should compliment the belt, but not match it perfectly.

Dressed-up Canadian tuxedo Elevate your denim-on-denim look for a night out with glitter heels, a statement necklace, and a sleek, satin clutch, all in shades of nude and metallic.

Work-casual denim and tweed The key to making denim and a T work at the office is having a killer jacket to anchor the outfit and stream-lined, polished accessories to complete the look. Start with a pointy-toed shoe, chunky metal watch, and a classic leather bag in a neutral, complimentary color, then push up your sleeves and layer on bangles, necklaces, and rings when you&amp;#039;re ready to go out.

Preppy blazer and boat shoes A printed boat shoe is a fun alternative to basic brown and a long scarf can be a feminine stand-in for a standard leather belt. Fold the scarf up neatly so it isn&amp;#039;t too bulky, then thread it through the belt loops and tie it in front so the ends hang down like strings on a bow. Next, half tuck your shirt to frame the scarf/belt and top it off with a preppy blazer and a chunky watch to bring a slightly masculine edge to the super-feminine, DIY belt.

Tough-girl leather A leather jacket is always a great, outfit-transforming piece, but it&amp;#039;s a good idea to add other fun elements as well, like a printed shoe and some bold jewelry, so the outfit doesn&amp;#039;t just become all about the jacket.

Piles of jewelry Stick to neutral-colored shoes and bags to keep the focus on all your great jewelry, then pile on all the gold and silver you want.

Cute, quirky mix-up When you&amp;#039;re starting with an easy, neutral look like jeans and a white tee, there&amp;#039;s really no wrong way to accessorize it. Get playful and mix as many prints, colors, and textures as you can \u2014 the bolder, the better.
