Women's Shirts

The classic women's shirts are this season's coolest, most versatile must-have piece. And whether you layer it under a chic city suit for definitive boardroom polish, mix it up with a deluxe velvet or leather jacket to make an edgy style statement, or steal the limelight out on the town with sky-high heels and an oversized necklace, nothing says effortless elegance quite like it.

But before you head to the high street on a ladies white fitted shirt hunt, check out our top tips for rocking this perennial classic with confidence:

To make a smart but preppy style statement, pair a crisp white fitted shirt with a tailored black jacket and then have a bit of fun mixing in brightly coloured glittery shoes, an eye-poppingly coloured pencil skirt or some sparkly accessories.

If you're going for the traditional white-fitted-shirt-under-a-tailored-suit look, it's a good idea to add some feminine touches like pretty jewellery or stiletto heels, then it'll be even easier to ramp up your womanly charms and power your way to success in the boardroom.

For a stylish office outfit why not team a chic white shirt with city shorts, an oversized bag and a pair of toweringly-high strappy heels. We found La Redoute to have some great women's shirts in lots of different designs.

Incorporate seasonal trends, such as nautical fashions, tribal, animal and safari style, military chic and floral patterns to bring your fitted shirt look bang up-to-date. Mix and match your white fitted shirt with wide-leg navy trousers, big cat and tribal print leggings or tights, safari-style pencil skirts, structured military jackets and pretty floral accessories.

If you're planning on wearing your white women's shirts un-tucked, be sure to go for a style that's fitted at the waist to flatter your feminine shape. Hipster white fitted shirts are ideal for this look as they're longer in the length, with business-savvy double cuffs and the added structure of sharp collars.

Vertical darts below the bust line will give the impression of a longer, leaner figure for those with curves, while horizontal darts to the sides of the bust accentuate and add curves to those with a more boyish body type.

Women's shirts have taken this summer's fashion by storm and we couldn't be happier. With so many different ways to wear them there's no excuse for not having one.
