One of the first things I think about when adding something new to my wardrobe is; how many ways can I wear this? As I’m trying to be more mindful about wardrobe additions across the board, versatility is becoming more and more important to me. I love a good pop of colour and a trendy silhouette as much as the next girl, but I’m more consumed with the search for styles that’ll stand the test of time, a classic white shirt being one of them.
So today I wanted to share the latest video on my channel, where I run through 20 ways to wear a white shirt (mine is this one from Everlane, and I’m wearing the US2), and I promise you, not one of these looks is boring. I’ve picked out a selection of my favourite styling pieces from these outfits and popped them in the carousel below, but if you’d like to know more about the outfit details, they’re all listed in the description box on YouTube here.
My favourite pairing is an autumn or winter appropriate outfit, which I’ve included above. It’s really minimal in colour palette but adds in a bit of warmth and vibrancy through a camel-coloured coat – one of my favourite winter wardrobe essentials. I love how the white shirt acts as a foundation piece of this look, letting the coat take the spotlight. Plus, it gave me a chance to throw on these OTK boots that I snatched on sale before Christmas.
Let me know in the comments below which outfit is your favourite, and if you’ve got any other ways that you like to style the white shirt.
