Wardrobe Essential: White Shirt



Wardrobe Essential: White Shirt

No matter you're style, size or flair a white shirt is a must have for your wardrobe. Essentials are pieces that I recommended every wardrobe should include. By adding these basics into your clothing you are committing yourself to always being classically fabulous!

Personally, as an experienced stylist I own several white shirts. I tend to favor basics, flair & trendy pieces; ruffles, french cuffs, tuxedo, wrapped, tie in front, tie in back, classic....just to name a few from my closet.

Though these are all fashion forward pieces for me and I can easily mix these into my existing wardrobe...not every one wants to own a multitude of white shirts. For those I offer a classic cut with some stretch from Banana Republic.

Fitting Guide:
  • Buttons should do their job. If the 'girls' are smooched or creating a bulge invest in some Hollywood Fashion Tape or securely pin the shirt with a white pin careful to not show the pin. If it's just too tacky...go up a size.
  • Sleeves should come to the bottom of your wrist. Sleeves were not meant to cover the hands...buy gloves if your hands are cold!
  • Mixed blend fabric: a white shirt always looks more crisp and flattering when the material contains some stretch. Stretch satin or cotton create clean feminine lines.
  • Hems are most flattering at the hip length. Long enough to tuck & short enough to leave out of trousers.

White shirt possibilities are endless. Increase your style & your wardrobe just by adding this simple piece. Wear it!
