All White for Spring

Ah the perennial white shirt. Why don’t we all own and wear one? Is it the washing followed the tedious task of ironing which puts us off? Is it the fit over ‘the girls’? Either way, the white shirt will up the ante of any outfit, immediately taking the wearer into the realms of Parisian chic. A universal fashion moniker, the white shirt is understood worldwide.

Can’t look at one without thinking of school uniform? Well, here at Earth, Wit and Style we think the humble white shirt, so unappreciated by many school goers around the country, is the flag to the jolly ship basic. It is the one basic builder that really will go with practically anything and always looks good. 

Saying that, there are some small caveats to this basic staple: your white shirt has to fit perfectly and it has to be clean, crisp and ironed. But wherever there’s starch spray, there’s a way. And a nude bra underneath is essential.

Great for all occasions, an oversized cotton version works well for a relaxed look with boyfriend and skinny jeans, whereas a more structured shirt is great paired with cigarette trousers and heels. So ahoy there maties! Climb aboard and let your white shirt do the talking for you.
