Anticipate Spring and wear a nice white shirt! One of the must-have fashion items continues to dictate charm and remain on top of trends. Stolen from the male wardrobe, thanks to the avant-garde of Coco Chanel who redesigned it on the female silhouette, the white shirt is a versatile and timeless look-saving garment.
Beloved by divas, who have contributed to making it a must, such as Grace Kelly, Marlene Dietrich or Audrey Hepburn (just to name a few), it adds style and elegance to combinations intended for different occasions, from the office to free time.
Never out of fashion, it is re-proposed by stylists from all over the world in different models, fabrics and volumes. From oversize to the classic slim-fit model, rigorous or romantic, it's impossible not to have at least one in your wardrobe. But which models to focus on to live this new Spring in style?
For office looks, opt for the classic version: essential and rigorous, you can wear it all buttoned up or if you want to leave a few buttons open, embellishing the neck with a mix of small necklaces but different lengths. Do you love preppy style? Combine the shirt with knitted waistcoats, varsity-style sweaters, cardigans and add some details like a small bow tie. Wear it with a pleated mini for a real college mood outfit or with classic straight cut jeans.
When the days start to warm up, choose the white shirt in different models such as the maxi version that you can wear either in combination with cigarette trousers in light or marine tones like a beautiful blue or sand or as a real dress, light and super chic. Glam alternative? The cropped white shirt. Short, cool, contemporary, feminine, with ribbons, ruffles or minimal, it looks great paired with high-waisted jeans with a slightly vintage mood. Ideal for the weekend and for more casual oooks.
