at times, the personalities of a white shirt seem virtually infinite…a classic cotton can look crisp and tailored…change the fabric to silk or sheer organza…and the look is instantly dressier…sexier…
menswear-inspired fashion at its most feminine…
exagerate the tailoring – more seams, dropped shoulders, a playful collar…and even classic cotton can become jazzy and brash…take away the collar altogether and add a tiny stripe…and the shirt takes on a simpler, quieter, more ascetic look…
loose shirts can be worn over an undershirt or camisole…in lieu of a jacket…untucked, they can hide a bulky waistline…or give modesty and shelter from the sun to a skimpy bathing suit…
tucked in or worn under a jacket…they take a back seat to the perfect suit…
when is a shirt not a shirt?
when it’s too pretty or feminine to betray much of its historical roots as men’s clothing…in other words…when it’s a blouse…
