Felicia Chin pairs her red-and-white striped shirt with a pair of hot pink pants, proving that a girlish colour can pack just as much pow-wow.

Ah Jie’s Prada ensemble is interesting because it takes the standard striped shirt and gives it a fun update. Pairing it with a bright red skirt, Zoe’s striped shirt comes printed with quirky comic strips and comes complete with intercrossing straps.

While it’s still a standard white shirt, Jeanette Aw’s shirt adds volume by way of her puffy sleeves. When worn with her fringed pencil skirt and a statement handbag, she looks polished and elegant.

Like Olivia Wilde, a silky shirt underneath a pastel coloured suit is an easy way to master spring tailoring.

Like the queen of ajar-hip-posing, Victoria Beckham demonstrates the power of an all-white outfit.

Take a cue from Claire Foy and play with blocks of strong colour. Here, she employs deep burgundy to offset the cool pastel blue of her shirt, and finishes with trusty black pumps.

If colour pairings aren’t your cup of tea, then play it like Tracee Ellis Ross and pair your white shirt with a pair of wide-legged black trousers.
