Wardrobe Essentials: The White Shirt
Chapter 1
We love a good investment piece, especially one that can be worn year-round and on multiple occasions. So naturally, we created a series of essential staples we think everyone should have in their wardrobes.
Kicking off the series is THE wardrobe essential – a button-up white shirt. The white shirt can be worn in a corporate, party or casual setting thanks to its timeless and on-trend shape that can always be found to suit any body type and skin tone. We know you probably have a few of these pieces around but it doesn’t hurt to add one more on rotation.
Proving it’s lasted the test of time, the white shirt is a fashion movie icon in itself. Worn by old Hollywood celebrities from Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor to 90’s Film legends like Uma Thurman (in Pulp Fiction) and Julia Roberts (in Pretty Woman). Each decade it is reinvented and worn in more ways than you can imagine.

THE CLASSIC SHIRT
A crisp white shirt can be found in every budget, you just need to choose what suits your lifestyle and look. The most common white shirts are fitted in a classic silhouette, from silk to cotton – but if there’s one thing for sure, you can’t go wrong with a classic.
