How to: Style a White Shirt

It doesn’t get much more classic than the white shirt. Whether you’re looking to find the perfect women’s white shirt or seeking inspiration on how to style one for every occasion, just keep reading. 

From timelessly traditional ladies’ white shirts to the top trending styles for SS24, our collection has you covered. Fresh whites thrive in spring-summer wardrobes, so there’s no better time to refresh with a new chic favourite or two...

We’re ready for blue skies with popover shirts to take us from work days to weekend outings. The relaxed-meets-refined silhouette makes a white popover shirt a perfect candidate for both workwear and everyday dressing. You can never go wrong with a plain popover, but we’ve also revamped the oversized staple with prints, embroidery and a variety of sleeve lengths to stand out from the crowd this season. The sunshine stripes of our Thick Stripe Relaxed Popover Shirt are set to brighten every day, whilst our Rhodes Embroidered Long Sleeve Poplin Shirt has us wearing divine detailing on our sleeves.

Our fitted shirts have also been given the seasonal update, from contemporary asymmetric detailing to captivating crystal decoration. Our editor’s pick is our Isabelle Stripe Asymmetric Shirt, combining a classic stripe print with a unique button-through fastening for a playful update to the essential.

Yet another way to revamp your bright wardrobe for the season is with the addition of a white shirt dress, the perfect day dress for elevating your smart-casual looks, taking you to both boardrooms and barbeques.

 

 

 

Suiting trousers are ideal suitors to accompany a women’s white shirt for every occasion. We adore teaming a more fitted shirt with wide leg trousers such as our Harrie Suiting Trousers for a flatteringly chic figure, whilst turning this silhouette on its head for a popover shirt, opting instead for a more tailored pair of women’s trousers.

Who says you can’t wear a classic white shirt with a casual pair of denim jeans? Not us! We’re re-inventing the ‘jeans and a nice top’ combination by pairing our most flattering jeans with a sophisticated shirt in SS24. Culottes are set to be big over the next coming months, so not only will we be reaching for our Stretch Denim Wide Leg Culottes, but we love doubling-up on the cropped styles and will be wearing ours with our Alissa Cotton Cropped Shirt by day and Crystal Alissa Cropped Cotton Shirt by night. White denim is always a favourite for summer city strolls, and we recommend pairing a patterned white shirt alongside women’s white jeans for a feel-good ‘fit you’ll want to wear on repeat.

 

Dressing up or down, your women’s white shirt of the season is raring to flirt with a skirt. A skirt can effortlessly transform your ensemble, worn both as everyday and eveningwear. A flowing length is flattering to every figure, and we can always rely on our Ennis Eco Satin Midaxi Slip Skirt to add a pop of colour and femininity to accompany our fitted shirts. To make an entrance, pair your ladies’ shirt with a contrasting skirt such as our Inu Satin Wrap Midi Skirt, cueing compliments from its must-have metallic sheen to its flirty wrapover split.

 

Not sure what to dress your women’s white shirt with? Well… how about a dress? A pinafore dress is perfect for versatile styling, and we think the smart collar and long sleeves of a shirt make for ideal layering. The layered look will never go out of style, and our Harrie Suiting Midi Dress makes channelling it effortless, pairing the flirty flair of its v-neckline with a sophisticated shirt is a no-brainer.

 

  

We’re calling it now, a co-ord will be the wardrobe must-have of the moment in SS24. The beauty of a white shirt, is that it can compliment any and every outfit, making it a dream third-wheel to complete a co-ordinated look. A pleated white shirt can elevate a matching set with ease, whilst a women’s white collared shirt can complete a power suit moment with chic poise. When worn with a white shirt, our Everly Suiting Blazer and Everly Suiting Trousers embodies Quiet Luxury, 2023’s top trend which is here to stay in 2024. We also can’t forget that some white shirts can be worn as part of a co-ord too, take our Stripe Poplin Popover Shirt and Palazzo Trousers.

The rumours are true, cargo trousers are back in fashion, in a BIG way. The best cargo trousers to wear right now are those that stand out either through colours or textures, making our Chloetta Recycled Cargo Trousers the must-have pair. Practical pockets, comfortable elasticated waist and a pretty shade in a satin finish? These luxury cargos speak for themselves, but we wear ours with our Cecile Crepe Shirt for a playful-meets-poised combination to compliment every occasion, complete with flare cuffs.
