23 Outfit ideas from top bloggers and streetstyle stars that prove you need a white shirt

With the bewildering sea of trends every season, from styles you can’t tell apart from another, to those you simply don’t understand, defining a signature style might seem completely unachievable (or unaffordable). However, I want to prove to you that you don’t need (or want) an enormous wardrobe full of expensive clothes to create a personal style you love. Like many things in life, the most important thing is to go back to basics. Here are 23 outfit ideas from bloggers and streetstyle stars that prove that the classic white shirt is the ultimate basic that everyone needs in their wardrobe.

      Personally I think the best way to make white work is to do it with basics, like casual white jeans with a white sweater. I’m so glad you found this helpful, dear!
