A plain t-shirt is one of the most useful pieces in a wardrobe precisely because it's a blank canvas — but that only pays off if you actually know how to accessorize a plain t-shirt rather than leaving it exactly as it is every time.
Layered necklaces of varying lengths add visual interest to a crew neck without needing a print or logo. A structured bag in a contrasting colour does more for an outfit than people expect, since it's often the first thing eyes land on after the face. A cap or beanie in a bold colour turns a completely neutral outfit into something with a clear focal point, at almost no cost.
For evenings, swapping trainers for boots or heeled sandals changes the entire register of a plain tee outfit without touching the shirt itself — footwear does more heavy lifting for formality than most other single item.
