Ashley Graham 

White T-shirts aren't just casual -- they can be dressed up, too! Elevate a V-neck version for date night with sexy coated skinny jeans and barely-there ankle-strap stiletto sandals. Top if off with a polished jacket and cross-body bag.

Chloe Grace Moretz 

A button-up under a pantsuit can often look too corporate, so we suggest reaching for a scoop-neck to make the polished ensemble a little cooler and edgier. And in lieu of the basic black suit, opt for a bold color like pink! It's fun, playful and ridiculously fashion-forward. Complement the stunning look with white pointed-toe booties and red carryall.
