We’ll be the first to assert that the power of a white button-up shirt is unparalleled. It’s a simple wardrobe staple that can dress up (or dress down) literally any outfit.
Think of it like your morning coffee—it’s the basis to any day (or outfit, more specifically). It feels great, and looks great too.
Anything is possible, too: You could wear it to the office with a slicked-back ‘do and slacks—chic. Wear it half-tucked with jeans to Saturday brunch—chic. Wear one undone over your swimsuit for a little extra coverage at the beach—chic.
Whatever way you wear it, nothing will ever compete with the perfection of the humble white shirt.
Of course like all trends, the white shirt has seen its fair share of tweaks to the classic silhouette over the years. Whether it was puffed shoulders, giant collars or corseted waists—there’s a million and one white shirt styles on the market to suit anyone’s fancy.
But for us, we’ll never get over the pure simplicity of a classic white shirt. And if you’re in the market for your own—look no further.
