White Shirt + Denim
Name a more iconic duo than a white shirt and blue jeans. We love it for days when we want to feel a little more polished without going overboard (*ahem* a day of Zoom meetings). The best part about this combo? You can hit refresh as many times as you want. Put a 90s spin on things by pairing yours with bootleg jeans and pointed kitten heels, or channel 70s chic with high-waisted flare jeans and platforms.

Quiet Luxury
Obsessed with Succession? Us too. A white silk shirt lends itself perfectly to recreating the quiet luxury aesthetic that’s all over our screens – simply team with a tailored trouser, loafers and a slim belt for a timeless look. A skirt more your speed? Tuck a silky white blouse into your favourite A-line skirt, and complete with Tony Bianco heels and a trench coat.

Workwear 101
No office rotation is complete without a white shirt or five. They’re a sartorial blank canvas for corporate and casual Friday alike – button one all the way up and tuck into wide-leg pants for a classic workwear look that’ll have you ready for anything. Look for elevated flourishes like puff sleeves, lace trims and statement buttons to keep your unofficial uniform feeling fresh.

Vacay Mode
You might be off-duty, but that oversized shirt is still working hard. A breezy boyfriend-style white shirt can be layered open over your swimwear for a little extra coverage (look for linen or crinkled cotton so you can throw it into your luggage and go). For a more refined resortwear moment, we’re loving white matching sets in crochet or knit – pair with simple gold jewellery and slides to complete the look.
Ready for a style you’ll wear on repeat? These six white shirts are bestsellers for a reason.
If you’ve already got your classic styles on lock, why not refresh your rotation with something a little *extra*? We’re talking plisse, utilitarian detailing, a white shirt dress, exaggerated shapes and more.
