Add This To Any Staple And It’s Guaranteed To Look Good

The hardest-working item in your wardrobe this season is going to be a collared shirt.

Whether it’s long-sleeved or short, printed or plain – if it has a crisp collar, buttons down the front and a relaxed fit then you’ve got yourself a winning wardrobe essential that can work overtime so that you don’t have to. The humble shirt is having a huge fashion moment and honestly, it couldn’t come at a better time. With most of our social encounters happening online – where our requirements for being dressed only really need to be evident from the waist up – it makes sense that a top as versatile as this would be our most-favoured styling choice this season.

When you’re on camera, loosen the collar to create a nice frame for your face and accessorise with your favourite stack of chain necklaces or add a pop of colour to your lips.

And when it’s time to leave the house, well, the options there are endless. Tuck your shirt neatly into linen pants to maintain its tailored edge. Have it hanging casually over the waistband of your favourite pair of jeans for a look that’s more everyday and effortless. Tie your shirt ends in a knot at your waist when the weekend is calling, or layer it open over your bikini when it’s too warm to wear anything else.

One good shirt can go a long way this spring, but it doesn’t hurt to have options. If versatility is what you’re after, then you can’t go wrong with a staple black or white shirt in either cotton, linen or lightweight silk. And if it’s charm or cheekiness you’re looking to add to your wardrobe then don’t look past playful prints, punchy colours, checks, polkadots and ditsy floral designs.
