Steps

Step 1
Go for masculine style
Go for a white shirt in a crisp, cotton fabric, such as poplin or twill, with a masculine cut. Avoid feminine adornments, pleating, stretch, or darts.
-
Step 2
Get the right fit
Get the right fit. It should be neither baggy nor super tight.
-
If it gaps in the bust or hips when you sit down, go up one size.
-
Step 3
Wear it to work
Wear your white shirt under a classic little black dress to work. For another office-appropriate look, tuck your shirt into Bermuda shorts, add a leather belt, and finish the look with conservative heels.
-
Step 4
Wear it on weekends
Wear it on weekends, untucked, with skinny jeans and the sleeves rolled up. With other pants or skirts, tuck it in, toss on a cardigan sweater, and undo the top two buttons. Pair it with denim cut-offs and sandals for a casual vibe.
-
Step 5
Dress it up
Dress up a white shirt with a single, bold accessory, like a large statement necklace or a cuff bracelet. Pair it with your favorite jeans or black leggings and killer heels and you're ready for a night out.
