ALL HAIL THE SHIRT
For a few seasons the shirt seems to have gone into the back of the wardrobe in favour of the classic t-shirt, sweater or blouse. But this season it returns with maximum femininity and creativity.
It’s not about having a boring white shirt in your wardrobe for such an occasion that arises for you to wear one, white shirts are making a comeback but they look nothing like the one you have gathering dust. That’s not to say that you shouldn’t be making an investment purchase with your shirt that will have a legacy in your wardrobe, but what’s out there right now is anything but boring. Full of embroidery, frill details, puff sleeves and femininity it’s all in the details.
Top of the list is a white shirt which can be worn layered underneath your knit, cable cardi or oversized blazer in the coming weeks while the temperature rises. This particular styling has inspired the high street to copy a shirt from Ganni (featured below), a Scandinavian brand that has many fashion followers and leads where others follow.
The other week I featured overshirts as a big trend for Spring and the check being the main print and driving force of this. Check shirts and blouses are also around with puff sleeves or big sleeves and detailing, so kind of the opposite of the edgy biker like look to the overshirt - there is no reason why you can’t style both, I know I will be.
Down the catwalk many designers showed lots of blue stripe shirts and all the magazine and trend reports are pushing this as the shirt to buy this season. So there is alot of plain mensy oversized shirts out there which are to be worn with tapered trousers and oversized blazers.
Lastly denim shirts are definately making a come back, either edgy stiff denim acid washed or chambray soft cotton with frills. Either way a denim shirt is a wardrobe hero and such a great piece to be worn with skirts and dresses.
