7 stylish ways to rock a white shirt like your favourite celebs

This is a simple trick, but it will add layers and dimension to your fit. If you are wearing a white button-up, simply leave the bottom few buttons undone, tuck in one side of the shirt, and leave the other hanging down straight. This will elongate your leg and draw attention to your waist.

This is great if you have a lot of fabric to tuck in as it lessens the bulge caused by the shirt.

There’s no reason ties should only be worn by men. Take any old tie from your partner’s wardrobe and fashion yourself a knot so that you can look like a boss babe. You can play with how tight or loose you want the tie to be.

Loosening the tie will give you a lazy feel that is perfect for a casual day out.

Using your white shirt as a base, you can pull any vest over to step up your outfit and give it a pop of colour.

An oversized vest will give off a casual vibe that will make you look effortlessly put together. No one will know whether you spent an hour choosing the right vest or not (don’t worry, your secret is safe with us!).

Corsets have been making a comeback recently and putting one over a white shirt screams elegant and sexy.

With a white shirt as a base, you can play with all kinds of corsets, whether they are black, purple, satin, or lace. You can pick and choose which corset would look best on you to match your aesthetic.

There’s no reason to always stick to a cardigan. You can wear a fitted blazer over a loosely buttoned shirt to give you a cinched waist or a loose robe that falls straight down. Your outerwear can change the silhouette of your outfit, so try to play around with them to find a look that fits your mood for the day.

If you love your denim, you can opt for a denim jacket with a pair of jeans for an all-denim fit that will make you stand out from the crowd.

With a white shirt on top, it gives you the perfect opportunity to go crazy with what you wear on the bottom. If you have pants with bold colours that always clash with other fits because of how out-there it is, this is a good time to bring them out and wear them proudly.

It’s amazing what accessories can do to an outfit, especially if you are wearing a plain white shirt. Put on dainty necklaces and earrings for a chic look like the above picture, or go with large hoop earrings and cuffs to enhance your outfit.
