Look cool and chic in these statement white shirts

Gone are the days when white shirts solely belonged to the men's closets. These days, the classic menswear staple is frequently spotted on women's fashion runway shows and our favourite female celebs.

In our opinion, white button-downs are one of the most versatile pieces to own in every woman's wardrobe. It's also easy to pull off. Opt for a classic white design, match it with a pair of wide-leg pants, and consider your 9-to-5 ensemble sorted.

White shirts can also look equally effortless for the weekends. Reach for a boyfriend or oversized cut, wear it as a shirt dress and style it with a pair of dad sandals for a brunch date with the girls. Alternatively, wear them with biker shorts or light-washed denim jeans for an easy summer vibe.

Feeling adventurous? Look for jazzed-up designs that feature eye-catching details like cut-outs, sequins or lace – the choices are aplenty! Keep scrolling to check out some of our favourites.
