Tuck it in, throw on a matching cardigan or blazer, or just leave it, and you&#8217;ll look fabulous! With jeans, add a belt to finish the look. And of course, put on a pair of pumps! So now, if you meet some fabulous celebrity on the street, you&#8217;ll never groan about why you chose today out of all the days of the year to wear something so blah. Take Natalie Portman, for example. She pairs a red, graphic tee with tailored shorts, a blazer, pumps, and a clutch looking very elegant.
