A crisp white shirt can say so many things without the wearer uttering a word. It’s that feeling of freedom that hugs you every time you put one on and let’s you be yourself, no matter how you choose to wear it. “Whatever you want it to be, the white shirt becomes.” Carolina Herrera
Impeccable and close-fitting. An instant upgrade to the slouchiest pair of blue jeans, especially with a pop of colour in the mix and a classic trench when the weather calls for one.
A natural choice. The best friend, the easiest go-for, as a dress, on a hot summer day.
Feminine and delicate. A silhouette never, by all means, to be worn with elegant black trousers. Instead, a white shirt-distressed black skinny jeans/ black leather trousers look is the perfect balancing act.
Feminine/masculine. I am reluctant in pairing a white shirt with a polished skirt, but I love it with a more casual one, like a denim or a utilitarian-like skirt. Relaxed elegance.
Sumptuous and versatile. The way a structured, masculine-cut shirt sculpts the body, it works even with a pair of tracking pants. I am not saying the look works for everyone, but why not go for it if it does?
Light and floating. If it’s linen and wrinkled, it speaks of a well lived life with your family.
