11 Classic White Shirts With A Twist That Are Perfect For The Office And Beyond
Monarch Shirt, $200, Shirt Number White
image

Nothing like a caped shirt to convey that you’re the boss here, right? We love this smart piece from Shirt Number White, and we’d recommend you to pair it with tailored trousers and a pair of no-nonsense stilettos to show that you really mean business. And oh, the cape can be turned into dramatic sleeves, in case you want to switch things up for the weekend. How clever!

Shirt Number White
Oversize Cotton Shirt, $49.90, from Zara
image

Play on translucency to add a touch of sexiness to your wardrobe. Show off your favourite lace bralette underneath the sheer cotton shirt or opt simply for a bandeau top. You could wear it unbuttoned to show off your swimsuit and sun-kissed tan as you head to the beach or yacht party.

Cotton Shirt, $29.95, H&M
image

An oversized silhouette is perfect to hide the bulge you get after a celebratory night of feasting. Moreover, the straight-cut silhouette ensures that the shirt doesn’t look shabby nor slouchy so that you can still maintain a semblance of professional that won’t get you in trouble with your boss. For parties, why not pair it with a sequin high-waisted skirt and wear the shirt french tucked?

SHOP NOW
Scotch & Soda Belted Shirt, $131.90, Zalora
image

Even if you don’t have the so-called “ideal” perfect hourglass body type, you can still fake it with this shirt. Thanks to the belt, you can adjust how cinched you want to look. We recommend leaving the shirt untucked to show off the fitted shape and pair it with a sleek pair of cigarette trousers and black heels.

SHOP NOW
In Patch Shirt, $105, Wai Yang
image

White shirts can tend to look overly stuffy and serious – not an image you want to have if you’re in a creative industry or want to look approachable on Friday date. This printed longline design by a Singapore-based designer Wai Yang adds a punch of visual interest while keeping it spiffy and modern.

SHOP NOW
Robbie Cotton Twill Shirt, $179, In Good Company
image

Longline meets oversized meets high-low hemline – the simple trifecta you need for an unconventional workhorse white shirt. There are many ways you can style this. You could go with a statement belt, like the Loewe Obi, wear it french tucked to show off the length or wear it untucked for a more relaxed look with wide-legged pants and wedges.

SHOP NOW
Ruffled Peasant Sleeves Shirt in White, $39, Pomelo
image

This white shirt is made for ladies who have narrow shoulders or a pear-shaped body. The ruffled trims along the shoulders give visual interest and trick the eye to thinking that it is broader than it really seems. Finish with tailored trousers.

SHOP NOW
Sheila Balloon Sleeve Button Down Shirt, $41.90, Love, Bonito
image

On first glance, this might look like just a simple plain white shirt – nothing wrong with that, but you know you are here for more when you clicked into this story. If you take a closer peek at the sleeves, you’ll notice a slight balloon sleeve. Less is more and the devil is in the details with this piece. Finish with pencil skirts for work or a pleated number for off-days.

SHOP NOW
Karl Lagerfeld Concealed Front Shirt, $128, Farfetch
image

We love the almost tomboyish quality of this Karl Lagerfeld number, in part thanks to its straight silhouette. Another detail we love is the black buttons that run down the shoulders and threading that frames the hems of the shirts. Complete the look with denim jeans and dainty earrings.

SHOP NOW
Cotton Shirt Dress With Draped Layers, US$125 (S$171.90), Cos
image

A shirt dress by any other name would still be a shirt. Besides of course wearing it as a shirt, you can juxtapose the length by pairing it with bicycle or bermuda shorts. You could also opt for a maxi skirt or long pants to create a boho-meets-streetwear look. We suggest finishing either look with strappy sandals.

SHOP NOW
Mango Ruffled Cotton Shirt, $59.90, Zalora
image

This Mango iteration is another example of how a simple detail addition can make a world of wonders to earn you style points from your colleagues and friends. Don’t be afraid to embellish the outfit with a gold choker or silver pendant to bring contrast to the ruffled trim.
