How to Style a Simple White Shirt (5 ways)
There’s something magical about the humble white shirt. It’s the fashion equivalent of a blank canvas—timeless, effortless, and always in style.
This week, we’re showing you five foolproof ways to wear yours. From casual cool to polished chic, here’s how to make the most out of this forever favorite.
1. With Tailored Trousers
The easiest way to look instantly polished. Tuck your white shirt into high-waisted tailored pants, add loafers or heels, and throw on a belt. Boom: you’ve got office-ready elegance in 30 seconds.
Style tip: Roll up the sleeves and add gold jewelry to soften the structure.
2. French Girl Chic: Open Over a Tank + Jeans
Leave it unbuttoned over a fitted tank or bodysuit, paired with vintage denim and ballet flats or mules. Bonus points for a red lip and messy bun.
Style tip: Choose a slightly oversized shirt for that effortlessly undone vibe.
3. Layered Under a Blazer or Sweater Vest
Make it business or make it preppy—either way, it’s a win. Let the collar peek out under a structured blazer or knit vest. Great for transitional weather and layering season.
Style tip: Use contrast—white shirt under a bold blazer color or patterned vest.
4. Tied Over a Slip Dress
An easy hack for dressing down your silky pieces. Tie the shirt at the waist over a slip dress and pair with sneakers or ankle boots for a comfy-cool brunch look.
Style tip: Knot the shirt loosely at your natural waist to define your shape without looking stiff.
5. With Shorts or Wide-Leg Jeans
Weekend uniform = secured. Pair your white shirt with distressed denim shorts or oversized jeans. Half tuck it in, roll the sleeves, and you’ve got a look that’s relaxed but refined.
Style tip: Add a straw bag and sandals for a warm-weather moment.
A white shirt doesn’t need to be boring—and it definitely doesn’t belong at the back of your closet. With just a few tweaks, this wardrobe staple becomes the base for endless outfits. Try one of these five looks this week and thank us later.
