The classic white button-up shirt is often paired up with a pencil skirt or a pair of crisp black trousers in the conventional sense. This can be attributed to the fact that the white shirt was initially considered an undergarment that had to be hidden under the jacket or men’s suit till the beginning of the 19th century. Eventually, the ‘boyish’ style became fashionable as women did not hesitate to appropriate the white shirt, raising it to the ranks of a fashion statement.
However, there is so much more to a versatile silhouette today than one can imagine. In fact, a plain white shirt, with clever styling, is the glue that brings your outfit together—it literally goes with everything.
With Twenty Dresses’ White Shirt Edit, we see this classic staple get a quirky makeover this season. In this collection, the elemental button-up silhouette, usually ideal for polished office wear, has transitioned into a piece that goes with just about everything in your wardrobe. A billowing, crisp shirt can be dressed up with gold hoops while a lightweight version paired up with a floral skirt can be great for a day spent with friends. Some people also prefer it cinched at the waist, others like an oversized version.
If you’re looking for some inspiration, Twenty Dresses’ latest collection presents multiple versions of the shapeshifting silhouette in collaboration with the likes of Gabriella Demetriades, Gopalika Virmani, Nitya Arora, Shreeja Rajgopal, Ankita Bansal & Shruti Chauhan to showcase its versatility.
