STYLING THE PINNACLE TEE INTO A WEEK OF OUTFITS

June 30, 2022

After nine years of blogging about style with a focus on closet staples, I consider myself something of a t-shirt connoisseur. So naturally, when one of my all-time favourite Canadian-made brands released their take on the perfect tee, I was first in line to try it out.

Power of My People (known for their shirting expertise) recently launched The Pinnacle Tee, in both black and white, and I had the chance to take it for a test drive. As we well know, not all t-shirts are created equal so I’ve made note of the details that make this one stand out from the many I’ve tried.

Read on to see my notes on The Pinnacle Tee and see how I styled both the black and white to build a week’s worth of timeless looks!

SIZES AVAILABLE: XXS | XS | S | M | L | XL | 2XL | 3XL

MATERIAL: 100% Organic Cotton, 6.2 oz. Milled in Portugal. Power of My People selects their fabrics very carefully and this densely knit jersey is woven to withstand years of wear and has an incredibly smooth hand feel. This cotton is a perfect weight, not too flimsy but not too thick either.

SHEER FACTOR: One reason I LOVE the Pinnacle is that it’s fully opaque, which, for a white tee, is very rare. I still wear a nude bra with it but there is no show through, giving it a very high quality look and feel.

COLOUR WAYS: Black (a true, rich, deep black) and White (a bright, crisp, fresh white)

CARE: Wash cold + hang dry or tumble dry warm. Allow for up to 1/2″ shrinkage on the length and 1/2″ total shrinkage on the width, something to keep in mind when selecting your size. I hang my tees to dry on a hanger so there are no drying rack lines to deal with and it’s ready to go into my closet no folding or steaming needed.

FIT: I went with my usual t-shirt size, which is a small, in both the black and white and I love the fit. It’s relaxed but not oversized, easily layers under a cardigan or blazer, and the bottom hem just skims the perimeter of my hips. You can see more on the fit below.

MADE IN CANADA.

DESIGN DETAILS THAT MAKE THE PINNACLE TEE AN INSTANT STAPLE

A WEEK OF OUTFITS STARRING THE PINNACLE TEE IN BLACK & WHITE

MONDAY

Monday’s are often an errand running, catch up on life kind of day for me and a white tee with comfy jeans is a regular combo. The Pinnacle Tee front tucks into my 90’s Cheeky Jeans perfectly and a quick roll of the sleeves creates a quintessentially easy-going but chic look.

In this case I added black Birkenstocks and a black baseball cap and grabbed my usual canvas tote to toss my wallet and keys into.

TUESDAY

Tuesday’s are when I really dig into office business and get into productivity mode. I love a look that feels confident and empowering on days when I’m making plans and decisions.

In this case I paired the black Pinnacle Tee with my washed black jeans, a strong classic combination. Then I added an oversized linen blazer for a bit of structure and a pair of minimal slip on sneakers to keep things feeling relaxed. A mini tote with a patterned scarf tied on the handle is the perfect final touch to add a bit of interest.

WEDNESDAY

Wednesday’s are when I usually get into creativity mode and I love this minimal but elegant look for a day of content creation and writing.

I’ve wanted to put together a classic look like this for ages and love how the crisp white Pinnacle tee pairs with the The Maximalist Long Pant (also by Power of My People). I had these pants hemmed slightly so I could wear them with flats and I love how they turned out.

I think this look could work for a casual-corporate office environment, especially with the addition of a blazer.

THURSDAY

By Thursday I’ve usually got a shoot day on the schedule so I opt for an outfit that’s going to be really comfy and easy to slip into and out of between shooting. Cue the white Pinnacle tee and some casual pull-on shorts. I added a cream cardigan. and black accessories to keep the palette minimal and sophisticated.

I also love this look for summer travel days or outdoor adventures like nature walks with Genie, weeding the garden, boat rides to visit a project with Dave or to grab dinner on a patio.

FRIDAY

I love to have a little more fun with my style on Fridays, especially in the summer. For this look I folded the hem of my black Pinnacle tee under a couple of times and pulled the fabric to the back. Then I just twisted the excess fabric until it’s snug around my waist and tucked the tail up and into the band of my bra. It’s my go-to hack for creating a cropped tee and you can see how I do it in this video.

In this case I chose the same trousers from Wednesday’s outfit and paired them with a block heeled sandal for a bit of height and grabbed my favourite basket bag to give the look a distinctly summery vibe. With my sunnies handy I’m ready for some fun!

SATURDAY

This outfit is great for weekend business like tidying up at home, stocking up on goodies from my favourite bakery, prepping a meal for dinner with guests, or hitting the local nursery. It’s also perfect for boating around the lake and I’ve usually got some sunscreen and a swimsuit stashed in my tote.

A third element always seems to pull a look together and during warmer weather I like to use an open button-down as that final piece. In this case I’ve added The Tailor (another gem by Power of My People) over the Pinnacle tee. They’re both a true bright white and a pair of all white Birkenstocks keeps the palette crisp and fresh.

SUNDAY

PINNACLE TEE BLACK | THE COMFY WIDE LEG PANT (Use LEE10 for 10% Off) | RILEY SANDALS BLACK | GOLD BLUE MOON PENDANT | LIVE BEAUTIFUL BOOK

And finally we have a super chill Sunday outfit. I love a simple, all black lounge look and the black Pinnacle tee pairs perfectly with my go-to lounge pants (also made in Canada), and a pair of black flip flops. Of course a good design book never hurts.

Just get me into a comfy couch corner with an open window nearby, a cute friend to cuddle with, and I’m in my version of heaven!
