Why A Crisp Cotton Shirt Is Your Most Underrated Fashion Ally

There’s no easier way to hit refresh …

A new shirt for spring will never go unappreciated. Whether you’re teaming it with high-waisted or mid-rise jeans (try a barrel leg shape or jeans with a turn-up) or leaving it loose over a cotton poplin skirt, the right shirt will always look polished and fresh.

If you’re looking for a great staple, cover your bases by ensuring you have a mid-blue or white shirt in your wardrobe rotation. They’re invaluable for mixing and matching, plus they perfect that luxe off-duty look.

If you already have these boxes ticked and are looking to up the ante, this season is all about dark hues. Think navy or black in crisp cottons or soft cotton-linen blends. Equally, sleeve-detailing is having a well-deserved moment to shine. The coolest new styles I’m seeing pit denim or latte stripes against a white cuff. A little Wall Street, a lot Annie Hall, the look reaches for a finance bro-does-fashion aesthetic.
