how to: do the slouch.

Be it for a nice dinner date, an all-day study session, a quick morning coffee meeting or a day out on Orchard Road, slouchy tees have suddenly become my go-to silhouette, and here's why they should become a staple in your wardrobe too:

• They're super versatile, meaning they can be quickly taken from day to night with a tweak in the makeup/accessories department. 
• They're super fun to layer with tank tops and outerwear.
•  They're generally quite appropriate for a large cross-section of casual events. It's really hard to go wrong with slouchy tees/sweaters; although they look modest, effortless and informal, they rarely come across as genuinely sloppy.
• They're super comfy! 
• Slouchy tees look best in solid colors (in my opinion), meaning you can pair them with standout pieces to create emphasis and texture in your outfit without overdoing it.  
• They look good on every body shape.  

I had originally written all the points above as a single paragraph, but then I thought I'd make a bullet point list to emphasize the huge number of reasons why they're so great. As a part of my comprehensive scheme to mentally unwind from exams, I spent too much time a couple hours on Polyvore making sets of clothing last weekend - which were all rather distasteful except this one, which lays out three simple ways to "do the slouch." Mind you, I could've gone on forever piecing together outfits with slouchy tees in them, so don't feel limited by the particular three shown above. In the wise words of Cady Heron, "the limit does not exist."

(If you don't understand that quote reference then I hate you.)
