allure of the white shirt

June 7, 2006

it never fails. whenever i’m in a fashion crisis - which is often - and i can’t make up my mind on what to wear on a last minute party invite, i totally depend on my instincts to wear a crisp white shirt with either a slim black skirt with jeweled mules for a cocktail party or jeans with heels for a casual get-together. worn with pearl studs or big funky hoop earrings, they never cease to save the almost fashion faux pas that i would have been. they’re classic, timeless and always party appropriate wherever the festive jamboree may be. here are a few of my white shirt picks :

rebecca and drew

for the romantic - a flutter of sleeves with a square neckline

armani collezioni

on the job - the shirt’s pintucked side darts soften the serious workplace look

robert rodriguez

drawstring ties on sleeves for an easy carefree look

rebecca taylor

a first date must - a dainty lace shell channeling a chaste innocent look

important note : keep make-up to a minimum. white shirts light up your face. hair can be combed stiff or tousled (i prefer a loose ponytail or chignon) and a luminous look with barely a hint of color makes the over all look ethereal and heavenly!
