The only thing that makes getting ready for work in the morning easier – second only to a cup of freshly brewed coffee – is having one good white shirt (or five) on hand to make anything you pull out of your wardrobe, office appropriate.
As fashion content creator Fredrika Akander @fakander proves, a plain white shirt is like a blank canvas – it’s ordinary on its own, but add a little personality, some colour, layers, different textures and accessories, and you’ve got yourself a work of art (or at the very least, an outfit that gets the job done).
What makes the best white shirt?
When it comes to picking the perfect white shirt, Fredrika looks at the details, like fabric and shape. “I like a really crisp cotton and structured shape for an oversized shirt.”
“I love how versatile the Blanca Fern Shirt is. I can wear it with everything! Plus, it’s oversized without drowning me – I’m quite short and petite so sometimes oversized tops on me look a little silly”
