A classic, cotton, white shirt is timeless and versatile. It can be worn with jeans or shorts in the day, to the office with a suit or pencil skirt or paired with a colourful skirt and jewellery for an elegant evening look. Essentially, the right one can be mixed and matched with almost anything in one's wardrobe and it will never go out of style! The main decisions that need to be made are: sleeve length, shape, fit and embellishments. For this post, I've found three different sleeve lengths but stuck with fairly simple, classic fits and shapes and few embellishments.
The first top that I love is from
French Connection, which I've found nearly always has a great selection of good quality, white blouses.
This 'Summer Parade' sleeveless shirt was originally £52, but is just £25 in the sale. It's perfect for summer, matched with cropped trousers and pumps - and then layer up when it starts to get cooler with a blazer, jeans and patterned scarf.
This cotton, short sleeved Hobbs 'Flagler' shirt is pretty perfect also. Originally £69, it's now £25 at
House of Fraser in sizes 8 and 18 (it's sold out on the
Hobbs site itself). The pleats down the front add an element of interest, without being showy or over the top - ensuring the style remains classic for years to come. Team with chino shorts and flat sandals for a great, daytime summer look.
Finally,
a classic, simple, long sleeved cotton Oxford shirt by Land's End - available from
Debenhams. This shirt will never go out of fashion and can be paired with almost anything - jeans, skirts, shorts. What about knotting it round the middle and wearing with a floral maxi skirt? This particular shirt is available in sizes 14 to 20 and currently has 30% off, meaning it's just £20.30.
So take your pick and grab yourself a classic bargain that will last forever!
