Everyone’s gotta own a white shirt.
Whether you’re dressing it up for work with sleek tailored trousers, or wearing it casual over a bikini by the beach, à la Cindy Crawford in the 90s, the clean, crisp style is prized for its versatility.

As creatures of habits, we often fall back to our tried-and-true fail-safe styles to wear the classic white shirt. But hey, it doesn’t have to be that way. And it doesn’t have to be an expensive affair either because you can recycle your old white shirt, just wear it differently.
With fall fashion hitting the stores as we speak, here are the latest ways to style your white shirt to look on point this season.

Under a deep v-neck dress

Some of us grew up wearing a pinafore and shirt combination to school, and whether you loved or loathed it, the pinafore was a feature in our formative years. Miss those innocent, carefree days? Update that schoolgirl style and indulge in a little nostalgia by pairing your white shirt with a V-neck dress from Delpozo to look youthfully chic.

Pair with metallics

Neutral browns, blacks and greys were the main colour palette for Chanel’s fall-winter collection, but they added a fun twist with these copper-toned lambskin pants. The metallic shift contrasts well with the crisp white shirt and makes the ensemble look chic, fresh and fall appropriate.

Virgil Abloh features the stylish, modern working women as his muse for his fall series. And he couldn’t have described it better: If a tube dress on its own hugs your body too much for work, wearing it over a white shirt would make the tight silhouette look less harsh and add a polished professional finish.

Since you’re going to be raiding your man’s wardrobe, why not grab his white shirt and wear it oversized? You can also wear it belted to further define your waistline, like how Les Copains did.

Adding accessories to complement the white shirt is a quick, easy method to add colour and jazz up the look. And with the trend of menswear influencing womenswear on the runway, it’s time to raid your man’s wardrobe for his neckties. After all, there’s nothing a man can do that a woman can’t.
