A white shirt is one of the most versatile pieces in your wardrobe. Whether you prefer it knotted, layered, oversized, fitted, buttoned up or worn open, it’s a must-have item that can be dressed up or down for all sorts of occasions.
From classic button-down shirts to flowy blouses, the possibilities are endless when it comes to styling a white shirt. In the summer, you can unbutton it, roll up the cuffs, and throw it over a strappy top and shorts. When the weather is cooler, you can tuck it into your favourite jeans, a pair of leather trousers, or wear it with a trouser suit.
In this post, we’ll explore five stylish ways to wear the bestselling Bronte shirt, a customer favourite with a relaxed fit and satin-striped fabric, to create stylish outfits you’ll feel confident in.
Effortlessly casual
For a relaxed everyday look, combine a white shirt with your fave pair of jeans. Opt for a slightly oversized or loose-fitting style, worn untucked or half-tucked for a stylish, undone look. Roll up the sleeves and add a few accessories like a belt, white trainers, or a crossbody bag. This look is perfect for running errands, meeting friends for brunch, or enjoying a stroll in the park.
Evening glam
You might not immediately think of a white shirt when planning a glamorous evening outfit. Try a tailored white blouse with a high-waisted skirt or leather look leggings in a dark colour, such as black or navy. Add statement heels and accessorise with statement earrings or a necklace. You could also experiment with a lacy or embellished white top for a luxe feel. Perfect for cocktails, a dinner party, or date night.
Holiday mode
Home or away, a classic shirt teamed with a denim mini skirt or cut off shorts will put you in a holiday mood. Try knotting your shirt to bare a hint of midriff, or wear it open over a tank or crop top for a breezy look. Add your fave sunnies, a straw hat and a pair of sandals, and you’re ready to head out to beach bar drinks, a port lunch or a sightseeing stroll.
Fun and playful
A white shirt can be styled playfully by pairing it with a bold statement print or details such as ruffles and embroidery. Wear it knotted over a pair of statement culottes, or pair with a flowy midi skirt in a bright colour. Complete the look with accessories like a hat, strappy sandals, and a cute wicker bag. This outfit is perfect for garden parties, brunches, or any occasion where you want a whimsical vibe.
Easy Layering
Layering is a key technique to create interesting outfits, and a white shirt is the perfect layering piece. Try wearing a white shirt shirt open over a knitted little black dress. This versatile layering technique allows you to play with textures and colours while keeping the crispness of the white shirt intact. You might wear this smart-casual look to a coffee date or a mid-week work meeting.
