How to Style a Women’s White Shirt Thoughout the Year

Ask anyone what their number one wardrobe staple is, and they will likely say either a good pair of jeans or a white shirt, and it’s no surprise - a women’s white shirt goes with almost any piece that you can think to pair it with. So, are you ready to make the most of your beloved shirt all year round? Let’s take a look at how to style a white shirt in all seasons.

Styling a Women’s White Shirt

This unsung hero of the closet is guaranteed to make you look fresh, fashionable and ‘ready’ for the day or night ahead. It works regardless of age, body shape and most would agree, skin and hair colour, but there are certain choices to be made when styling your outfit to bring out the most that this versatile piece has to offer.

The Basics

Unlike a cosy jumper or simple t-shirt that can be thrown on, a good shirt works best when it has been prepared. Creating an effortless look does sometimes require effort after all, so make sure that your shirt is freshly ironed before compiling your outfit to give yourself the perfect blank canvas to style and accessorise as you please.

An Everyday Look

For an effortless, everyday look, pair your favourite shirt with jeans with the shirt tucked either in or out. For this look, we like the sleeves rolled up, and an oversized shape looks great when worn open over a tee shirt with straight or skinny jeans.

For darker denim you might opt to add a statement belt and tuck your shirt in for a quick and easy slightly smarter look - particularly when paired with wide legged jeans or, quite frankly, any wide legged trousers.

To The Office

When heading into the office, wear under a blazer or even a knitted waistcoat for a professional and interesting ensemble for team meetings, client pitches, and winter afternoons in the office. Go classic and pair with neutral trousers in the summer months and tailored black or navy as autumn approaches.

Skirts and Dresses

If you prefer to wear skirts, then you are in luck, as a women’s white shirt is a reliable staple piece that works well with patterned and plain skirts of all different designs. The clean and simple shirt offers the perfect contrast to your favourite skirts, so pick up a colour from the skirt for your earrings, necklace, or shoes to tie the pieces together for a polished finish.

Going Out Tonight?

If you find yourself standing in front of your wardrobe ahead of your next event, wondering if there’s a top that you haven't already worn a hundred times before, be sure to keep your shirt in mind for consideration.

For the evening, a woman’s white shirt and leather trousers are a winner for any dinner party or gathering of friends, and an equally stunning choice is styling it with a satin, silk, or sequin midi skirt for an elegant and sophisticated touch.

On Holiday

On holiday, look effortlessly cool poolside with an oversized white shirt readily to hand to pop over your swimsuit. Add shades, a good book and a cocktail and you’re in true holiday mode!

And finally, when choosing your shirt, don’t be afraid to seek out unique details if a classic design isn’t your style. White shirts are the perfect piece to embellish and accessorise, whether it’s delicate embroidery, statement sleeves, eye-catching buttons, or perhaps even a sparkle of diamanté.
