5 Ways To Wear: The White Shirt

The white shirt is one of the most iconic pieces of our wardrobes, creating a clean, classic look no matter the season. Want to know how to style them in the heat? Take a closer look at how to wear white shirts for summer, from boho and ruffled designs to breezy beach blouses.

 

1. The Longline Shirt

Iris Highrise Skinny Jean, £49 | Isha Linen Longline Shirt, £45 | Tori Stud Cross Body Bag, £29 | Lulu Leopard Gladiator Sandals, £49 

There’s never a more classic combination than a white shirt and blue denim. Take it straight into bright, sunny weekends with a crisp longline style worn with blue skinny jeans, adding further stand-out appeal with leopard-print sandals and a tan across-body bag. Cool yet effortless.

 

2. The Beach Shirt

Heading off on holiday? Take on the summer heat with white-on-white styling in the shape of lightweight cotton separates. Throw them on over your bikini or swimsuit for long, hot days on the beach, before wearing it for early evening strolls around town.

 

3. The Ruffled Shirt

Rosie Ruffle Skirt, £49 | Joey Linen Ruffle Shirt, £35 | Sabine Printed Shopper, £39 | Simone Block Heels, £45

A ruffled white shirt is the easiest – and most subtle – way to update your working wardrobe for the summer. Choose a sleeveless style and wear it tucked into the waistband of a ruffled navy skirt, finishing the look with an office-appropriate shoulder bag and block heeled sandal.

 

4. The Everyday Shirt

Too hot for jeans? Style out rising temperatures in the city with blue denim shorts, boosting your casual-cool credentials with a white cotton shirt – we love how this piece comes with a mandarin collar and cuffed sleeves. Complete the look with oversized sunglasses.

 

5. The Boho Blouse

Whether you’re dressing for milder climes or need a little extra coverage on holiday, a white boho blouse is a wardrobe essential. Opt for a light and airy number with lace-up details, and wear it with wide-leg trousers in khaki green. Complement the earthy palette with a tan leather bag and embroidered sandals.
