The tried and true jeans-and-a-tee combo is the easiest summer outfit to throw on. But if you always go for a basic tee, it can get a bit boring. Here, our top ten tee picks for guys and girls to shake up your jeans-and-tee ensembles all summer long.

1. Pair this classic Aviator Tee by Jacks & Jokers with Sly Engineered Blue for a cool, vintage look. We think Adrian Grenier looked rather charming wearing it on HBO’s Entourage.
2. We dig a man with a stocked fridge. Crack open a cold one while kicking back in Freshjive’s Beer Fridge Tee and dark denim, like Travis in Black Night.
3. Show a little skin, 80s-style, in this LnA Open Shoulder Tee and a pair of colored skinnies, such as James Twiggy in Coral.
4. It’s always fun when what looks like a plain white tee has a little surprise in back. We’ll be adding an unexpected flash of skin to our Neo Beau Nostalgia boyfriend jeans with this comfy Diamondback Tee.
5. Add some edge to your look with Chaser’s Femme Muscle Tee  paired with James Twiggy in Sienna.
6. Pay homage to Kurt Cobain in this killer Nirvana Tee. Wear it with the Travis Corduroy in Mink.
7. Channel your inner hippie in Raquel Allegra’s distressed, tie-dye Tee in Fern Black paired with Randi Luna in White.
8. Dudes, you really can’t go wrong with a classic striped tee, which is why it should be a staple piece in your closet this summer. We’re digging this navy and gray BDG Heather Stripe V-Neck Tee to match up with the Travis Vintage Chino.
9. This one’s a conversation-starter. The What The Fox Graphic Tee totally cracks us up. Couple it with our cuffed Clay in Machine Selvage.
10. For those of you who don’t know, the James Jeans HQ is in Los Angeles, so it should come as no surprise that we’re going crazy over Wildfox’s I Love Los Angeles RIP Back Tee. We’ll be pairing the limited edition top with James Twiggy in Anchor.
