A white shirt is a classic – it’s elegant, timeless, and styled well can look truly amazing. But what if you do not know how to style white shirt for it to look its best? No worries, I’ve got 10 ideas for you.
Honestly, the best white shirt I’ve ever found was in… my husband’s closet. It is gently oversized, the color is pure white and the material feels good.
So if you have an issue finding a perfect, slightly oversized white shirt, I have good news for you. In my store, you can find that one – I’ve made sure it is just as comfortable as the one for men but as pretty as the one for women. 🙂
The Perfect White Shirt
A white shirt is a part of a capsule wardrobe so every girl should have it. The perfect one should fit nicely, not be too tight on the breast, and flow on your body nicely.
The fabric can vary – from cotton, and silk to polyester – and it should look white, not whitish.
I’m all for more loose shirts because you can tuck them into the pants or tight around the waist to have a feminine look. I’ve found that not many places offer such shirts that fit perfectly on one’s waist just as well as on the breast line.
So that’s why I offer you one in my store. 🙂

This outfit looks professional and very fashionable. It is rather on the manly side, but if you include some shades of pink, then voila, you’ll have enough feminine vibes.
This outfit will serve you well as an office or date night one. Cute, nerdy, and fashionable in one.

White can pair well with almost anything. So combined with a pair of pants in a vibrant color, it can elevate your outfit pretty nicely.
A white shirt is so classy that sometimes it can feel boring – but not with colorful pants! Purple, green, blue… you cannot go wrong. Add some heels for a more elegant variation or use cute sneakers for a more smart casual look.

Magnetic Secretary
Pencil skirts are wonderful and I’m sure you have at least one in your closet. Combining it with your white shirt can look very well put together. You can add some nice tights when the weather is more chilly.
If it is really cold, you can go with layers and add a neutral color (or not so neutral, who said you can’t get crazy?;)) turtle neck and put it underneath your shirt.
Very feminine and timeless combo!
How to Style White Shirt – Over a Maxi Dress
A white shirt does not need to be the star of the show – it can be an elevating element. For example, you can put it on a maxi dress to create a more interesting look. Add a nice hat and the vacation outfit is ready to go!
The most effective way is to tighten it around your waist gently so your figure does not lose proportions. But hey, do not be afraid to experiment – maybe you’ll create a fresh and unique outfit.
Nerdy Cutie
A white shirt can be hidden but gives a nice accent. For example, you can wear it under a cardigan or a sweater to create a cute, nerdy look.
Combined with a lovely skirt and here you have it – a complete and great outfit with a white shirt as a supporting element.
As a Cardigan
You can put your white shirt on top of your outfit and not button it. This will look “messy on purpose” and will give lightness to your outfit.
You can wear jeans or elegant pants with that combo.

Summer Cutie
Who said a white shirt cannot be worn during the summer? It can and it should! Combined with a pair of elegant shorts or a skirt gives you a vocational fresh look.
You do not even need to purchase a white shirt with short sleeves. You can roll the long ones up and look even more fashionable.

White Shirt – Tips and Tricks
It is important to know how to style white shirt, but so is how to take care of it.
When white is not white anymore and the color wears off, the prettiest white shirt will not be elegant. That’s why it is important to keep the color alive!
You know how to do it? Simply add a spoonful of soda to your laundry. Also, make sure not to mix it with other colors too! Put everything white in the washing machine, add soda and here you go. Also drying is not a good idea… I’ve made that mistake once and the beautiful shirt goes smaller and the material got messy. Not fun!
Also, make sure it is ironed. Yes, I hate ironing too, but wrinkles on the clothes certainly cheapen one’s appearance. That’s why your shirt should always hang on the hanger, not be squeezed between other clothes.
If pure white does not look good on you, you can always go with creamy white or any other shade that looks better with your complexion.
