The Classic White Shirt

Thu, 2 Dec 10

The classic white shirt is the perfect canvas for creating an effortless look.  Audrey’s crisp white tailored blouse proved a stylish travelling companion on her Roman Holiday, while Daniel Craig’s white evening shirt and black tuxedo suit added a touch of Casino Royale to the iconic James Bond look. Whether you are racing off to a meeting with clients or heading out for a weekend brunch, a white shirt is sure to suit every occasion.

 Office

If constant phone calls, looming deadlines and lunch dates with your computer have left you with no time to pull together a polished office look, it’s time to simplify your wardrobe! The white shirt has remained a corporate staple; however it is important to focus on stylish detailing to transform your look from office geek to chic. Women have the option of a classic or large flamboyant collar, a range of weaves and fabric finishes, as well as cuff alternatives to suit each day at the office. Button cuffs offer a simple yet sophisticated design, while French cuffs are the perfect partner to an elegant pair of cufflinks. Men’s power dressing is epitomised by a neatly ironed, well fitting suit, which can be accessorised with a textured tie and leather belt. A white classic weave shirt is an office essential, which will give you the self-confidence and calm demeanour to climb the corporate ladder. Cufflinks are the perfect finishing touch to every outfit and Shirt Studio offers a fine selection, ranging from Swarovski crystals to Venetian glass.

Evening wear

As the clock ticks over to five pm, men and women across the country agonise over the office to evening transition. For the ladies, night-time style isn’t limited to a little black dress. Add a touch of Parisian glam to your next evening outing, with a French cuff white ruffled shirt. A pair of patent heels and a pencil skirt finish will transform your style from office wear to restaurant ready in no time. For men, the simplicity of a crisp white shirt, black silk tie and tuxedo suit is unsurpassable and suitable for a formal work event or a romantic dinner. Cheque please!

Weekend

Weekend style is all about relaxed wardrobe pieces. A casual shirting look can work well for a laid-back brunch or shopping at the weekend markets. For the ladies, take heed of a crisp white ¾ sleeve shirt teamed with a pair of jeans, capri pants and a pair of ballet flats. For the men, a cool white self check shirt works nicely, complemented by rolled up sleeves and a pair of jeans. If a weekend work function or family lunch interrupts your Sunday session, a traditional buckle leather belt and freshly polished shoes will balance comfort and style. 

A white shirt is synonymous with simplicity, adding a touch of elegance to every outfit. A flattering fit and quality fabric are essential to pulling off this look, giving you the confidence to create your own individual style and embrace the challenges of your day.
