Wardrobe Staples | The White Shirt

This is an item of clothing you'll have seen many times if you're a regular reader of my blog, to the point where I thought 'I can't photograph that again', but I suppose that's the point of wardrobe staples isn't it? They're the things that you wear over and over and can style again and again without getting bored of them or running out of ways to wear them. You've probably already guessed from the title, but I'm talking about my white shirt (speaking as if I've only got one but we all know that's definitely not true). A white shirt is probably on every single wardrobe staple list ever written so call me predictable, but it's on mine too.

A white shirt is one of those items of clothing that I've ended up owning a lot of. They're all different, I promise. My favourite though, is actually from the men's section of Tu at Sainsbury's and apart from the fact that why are the buttons on the wrong side, how on earth do men cope with this I love it. It was only £14, I've had it for about two years now and it's still as good as new. It's good quality i.e. can't see your bra through it EVEN IF IT'S BLACK, which I feel like is a great rarity for a white shirt, the material is really quite thick so it's warm and it goes with everything. That's the beauty of a white shirt - you can wear one tucked into high waisted jeans or a skirt, loose with leggings, underneath dungarees (although who am I kidding, I'm not cool enough to pull those off). I do wear mine with everything though as it's just such a great item to pull on whenever I feel like I've got nothing else, even though LOL I've got heaps of clothes. That's the key to a good wardrobe staple for me - being able to put it on in a rush, pair it with absolutely anything and still look like you've made an effort (which is basically my life).

My white shirt collection is by no means complete either. Although I love this one, I am on the hunt for a slightly more classically feminine one, the type that you see on those super chic girls who only seem to exist on Pinterest and not actually in real life (if you are one of those girls, please email me and teach me all you know, thanks). If you have any white shirt recommendations, please let me know! The photo below is an outfit I've shot for my blog before and it's just one example of how I style this shirt, but as I said there really are countless ways!

 Do you have a white shirt in your wardrobe?
