2: For a weekend vibe, put on a slouchy white T-shirt and cinch in at the natural waistline with thin leather belt for a definition.

3: Wear a white tee with super-wide neckline for a more classic and modest look. With the right accessories you can turn this look around with multi-layer strand of necklace and slim jeans.
