Chic Ways To Style Sneakers For The Office

1. Give it a masculine spin

1/7

Follow in the footsteps of Jeanette Aw, and give your white shirt a masculine spin by wearing it with a men's necktie. The key to not looking too mannish is to throw in an unexpected twist. Here, Jeanette employs a frou-frou skirt to offset her shirt-and-tie combo, and it works perfectly.

2. Keep it casual with denim jeans

2/7

The ever-so-stylish Ah Jie shows you how you can wear a white shirt for the weekend without looking like you just came from the office. Her ruffled blouse adds a certain air of romance and ease, which is further underscored by baggy jeans – super comfortable to wear, no doubt – and layered jewellery adds a sense of edgy coolness to the look.

3. Add a pop of colour with your accessories...

3/7

If you're going for a black-and-white combination, then try to shake things up with an unexpected pop of colour. Rebecca Lim proves that the perfect companion to her white-shirt-black-skirt look is a fuchsia pink bag from Roger Vivier, and we are digging it.

4. ...or put the colour into your skirt

4/7

Another smart way to add colour to your look? Do it through your skirt! White shirts are obviously a great choice to pair with brightly-hued pieces, because they are able to compliment and spotlight your coloured pieces. Don't believe us? Ask Joanna Dong then.

5. Power it up in a suit

5/7

The easiest and most obvious choice when it comes to styling your white shirt is to wear it with a well-tailored blazer, much like how Oon Shu An is doing here. Her fresh take comes, however, in the use of white jeans to refresh and switch up the usual shirt-and-blazer combo, and it's paid off well here. White jeans feel less casual than blue denims, but not too dressy that you feel out of place at a bar.

6. Under a dress...

6/7

Yoyo Cao approaches her white shirt with a girlish sense of charm, as she layers it under an A-line minidress. To mimic her look for work, opt for a dress that flares out less, and choose one with a slightly longer hemline.

7. ...or over a dress.

7/7

Need some extra coverage when you're out and about in your weekend summer dresses? Copy Aimee Song's genius styling trick and throw on a crisp white shirt over a brightly-coloured slip dress, then knot the shirt around the waist. It's instantly cool and looks effortless, plus it's a great way to dress up a basic off-duty dress.
