Without readjustment: The perfect ratio between T-shirt and round neck collar

A small, but nice styling detail: white T-shirts that peek out from the top of a round-neck jumper. This simple trick will help you achieve the ideal collar balance - without having to tweak it during the day.

Some things in life can be so wonderfully simple. Like fashion hacks. Whether it's the simple move that hooks your belt and trouser button together, the safety pin that keeps your jean hems floating above the floor, or the hair tie that to prevent blazer sleeves from slipping down. Today we're going to talk about just such a life-changing trick: a t-shirt turned inside out.

If you're a fan of crew neck jumpers, you probably usually wear a white T-shirt underneath. To create contrast and a nice detail. Unfortunately, this T-shirt often doesn't stay tucked in and visible all day. Nope, it likes to slide down and disappear into the jumper. How to avoid this?

Back comes to the front

If you take a quick look at the neckline of your T-shirt, you'll quickly notice that the collar is cut higher at the back than at the front.

Higher at the back than at the front. Use this to your advantage.

Logical, because it adapts to the neck and shoulders and sits better on the body. Actually. But the opposite is true under your round-neck jumper! If you put your T-shirt on with the back facing forwards, its collar will rise a little higher and won't run the risk of sinking into your jumper.

Worn upside down, the ratio of T-shirt to jumper collar is perfect.

For comparison: the T-shirt fits so-so the other way round.

Of course, the best T-shirts for this hack are those that either don't have any labels sewn in or those that can be easily removed. Will you give it a try?
