How to Buy The Perfect White Shirt™
Quality: Invest a little more on a good quality shirt and you look better, and feel better too.
Fabric: A quality fabric with a high cotton content not only looks clean and fresh but is durable. A shirt made in a good quality cotton fabric will keep its shape, caresses the skin and, importantly, allows your skin to breathe. The ideal cotton combination is 97% cotton 3% elastane as used in our House Fabric. That little bit of elastane gives you a nice fit and sufficient stretch for comfort without loosing the benefits of cotton. Fabrics with more than 5% elastane and polyester mixes should be avoided, they tend to quickly discolour, loose their shape – and freshness!
Finishing: Buttons and buttonholes are as important as the fabric used to fashion your shirt if you want a shirt that not only looks good but lasts. Quality buttons and reinforced stitching around the shoulders, buttonholes, and sleeves all provides extra strength and longevity.
Fit & comfort: When buying fashion online you'll want to choose the right size to avoid returns so its important to measure yourself correctly Size & Fit. Make a note of your measurements and check against the size chart. If you find you're not a precise match, it's always best to go up a size. As we all know, sizing can vary dramatically from brand to brand so don’t be embarrassed about having to select a larger size – it really doesn’t matter - as long as it fits you well and you look good!
How to Wear: First things first, and it may seem like common sense, but a skintone bra really is best under your White Shirt. Nude colors tend to be invisible as they match your skintone.
Style your look: A Classic White or, indeed, Classic Black Shirt is like a blank canvas on which to build your signature look. Start with your Shirt and build your look. For maximum impact, whatever your style, keep it simple. Less really is more!
