The fashion world loves to wax lyrical about a crisp white shirt, but sometimes it can be hard to know how to style one without it feeling bland or corporate. The key to looking good? Accessories. Balance out white with a devil-may-care red lip, or bold accessories such as a silk neckerchief, a sleek leather belt or a pair of statement earrings.
Full white skirts in light fabrics, such as cotton poplin, are trending. It may be a little early in the year, but we love seeing how tastemakers are styling theirs to make them appropriate for the April weather: excellent cream knits, oversized black blazers and point-toe kitten heels are all in the mix. While this skirt is by Prada, look to high street stalwarts like Mango and Massimo Dutti for affordable takes on the trend.
Allow a dramatic white collar to peep out from a knitted cardigan or jumper, or a cropped wool coat. Don’t forget to add some arm candy such as a 90s-inspired baguette bag or a large suede tote in chocolate brown.
A floor sweeping silk or satin skirt in white is, as far as we’re concerned, a get-dressed classic. Pair yours with a lightweight knit in a shade of oat or champagne and an oversized blazer: perfect for dinner and drinks.
A heavy wool blazer in white, or off-white, layered with a camel turtleneck and worn with a pair of straight leg jeans is April dressing perfection if you ask us (Rosie Huntington Whiteley agrees).
