How To Wear Crewneck Tees In Winter

Perfect for layering, casual occasions or spending time with friend.

POSTED BY ANNA GRAHAM

If you thought that crewneck tees are only suitable for summer or can be worn only as an undergarment in the cold season, we're here to break that myth! 

This classic t-shirt, which you can find on this website, is perfect for layering, casual occasions like going to a pub or spending time with friends and also can often substitute classic shirts in many smart-casual situations. 

Here's how to wear crewneck tees in winter. 

Casual and comfy 

We know, you know, Justin Bieber knows that the most comfortable and versatile piece of clothing for most casual activities is a crewneck tee, even in winter. 

It gives you freedom, it gives you style, and it's like a beautiful blank canvas for all your styling ideas. And if you're a little stuck on those, we have a few to start with.

For game or movie night

If you're meeting up with friends for a game or movie night at the house, think no further than a t-shirt and a hoodie.

Yes, it's simple, but you can let your creativity shine with your choice of tees. Whether you like oversized crewnecks in neon colors, huge Star Wars logos, or fitted stylish monochrome tees, you don't have to worry about fitting some dress code

We recommend opting for a monochrome zip-up hoodie here and your most comfortable jeans, fitted joggers, or cargo pants.

For a weekend at the cabin 

If there's one thing we love about winter, it's the romantic getaways to a remote cabin in nature (or a cute B&B will do too!). The snowy trees, relaxed hikes, and warming up by the fire compensate for the lack of light and freezing temperatures a little.

The best thing to wear? Of course, your crewneck t-shirt with a thick flannel button-down, laid-back jeans (skip rips though), or cargo pants.

Cover up with a parka for those walks, and you have yourself layers for any situation! And hey, don't forget snow boots! 

For karaoke night at the pub 

When you need to show your passion at karaoke or just raise a few glasses at the pub, you need flexibility, yet you don't want to be cold.

Here's where your crewneck tee and a warm puffer or denim shearling vest are a perfect choice! 

Pair with your favorite jeans or corduroys, and let's have fun! 

For the office and semi-formal occasions 

Yes, you can wear a crewneck tee for smart-casual occasions when styled right, so good news - you can ditch the stuffy Oxford shirts at least a few days a week!

Here are some ideas. 

For the office or casual Fridays

Tired of ties and shirts? Well, then just swap them for a lovely fitted crewneck tee under your blazer! Most offices will find it totally appropriate when paired with chinos, slacks, or wool trousers.

Don't forget some guidelines, though: always opt for monochrome tees in base colors such as navy, maroon, olive, or black. 

Also, leave your Rick & Morty shirt at home, and never wear a baggy tee with your blazer either.

Many guys avoid cultural events merely because they don't feel comfortable in the whole suit and tie shebang. Well, swap the shirt and tie for a tee again! 

Yes, in 2022, you can totally wear a nice, high-quality t-shirt under your shirt, and since you're probably going somewhere contemporary and fashion-forward, why not opt for a lovely maroon or olive suit too? 

For dinner with the in-laws

Sometimes we all need to put our best foot forward, like, e.g., when we're having dinner with the in-laws. So, let's make a fashion compromise where you're a little bit more put-together yet still yourself.

Start with your favorite tee, wool trousers, and top up with a lovely winter cardigan. Choose either a classic thinner one or go big with a chunky knit.
