Ahh, the humble white shirt. It’s been a wardrobe staple of generations. Though while some might consider the item plain or dare I say, boring, this summer influencers are proving the button-down has regained credibility as a fashion-conscious go-to. Whether paired with denim, linen or (my personal favourite) swimwear, the white shirt is a versatile, wear-anywhere staple that will seamlessly see you through summer.
Given the minimalist aesthetic is currently a reigning fashion favourite, it’s little wonder the white shirt is having a moment, with many minimalist influencers finding new ways to champion the item. Sylvie Mus is pairing it alongside swimwear and statement jewellery, while Lorna of Symphony of Silk is creating tonal all-white looks featuring white shirts and matching white minis.
Whether you want to add it to your work wardrobe or your vacation capsule edit, it’s clear the white shirt deserves a firm place in your closet this summer. Keep scrolling for six outfits that will make you want to invest in a plain white shirt.
