How to Wear a White Shirt ?
Thanks to its versatile style, range of cuts, buttons and collars, the white shirt can be worn to any event or for any occasion. Here are the four essential ways to wear this shirt…

The Classic
Keep things simple and easy by teaming a white Oxford shirt with a black or grey tie and black trousers. This gives you a formal look without having to wear a full-on suit. If you’re going for more of a smart casual look, you can roll up the sleeves and take off the tie. Knowing how to wear an Oxford shirt is something every business man should know so you can go from work to play with ease. Keep it simple and wear minimal accessories, for example a white shirt with cuff links, making the classic look ideal for both the summer and winter months.

The Casual Look
A great smart casual option, all you’ll need is a pair of quality jeans, a white short-sleeve shirt (or casual long sleeves and rolled up) and a brown leather belt. Adding a pair of aviator sunglasses and a brown bag will complete the look.

Smart Summer
When black tie attire and a white dress shirt is a little too much, and a casual white shirt with jeans ensemble may not make the cut, mix some smart trousers and a white shirt and your smart summer look is nailed

Casual Summer
This look is perfect for those well deserved summer holidays on the beach or a summer BBQ with mates. Match a white short-sleeve shirt buttoned up to the top with a pair of dark navy shorts. If you feel like you want to mix up the white shirt, please don’t wear a white shirt with black buttons – instead add a watch or bracelet and a pair of sunglasses. Just remember to always keep the white shirt completely white as it keeps the summery feel to the outfit.

How A White Shirt Should Fit ?
Sometimes it’s challenging to find a shirt that fits you perfectly. You don’t want it too snug, but there’s also no worse look than an oversized, baggy shirt. The buttons should not bulge at your chest (also, you should give more than 3-4” of fabric, when the shirt is pulled away lightly from the body) and the collar should enable you to slide two fingers around it when closed.
The shoulder seam should meet at the corner of your shoulder bone and the armholes should be high enough without causing any restricted motion or movement. The sleeves should not be too tight or too billowy, but it should allow comfortable movement and should also not end where your palm meets your wrist, but preferably about 1” before your wrist bone.
