The Perfect White Shirt

A classic white shirt is a basic for every man or woman's wardrobe. Whether you see a white shirt as only corporate, you can adapt a white shirt into your casual weekend look. If you love the preppy look, team the white shirt with a cardigan, vest or blazer. For a more casual look pair with jeans & ballet flats.

KL's Stylist Tip: I would recommend not spending over $250 on a white shirt because it does dis-colour with age and is prone to stains. However you do want to invest enough in order to have a good quality cotton and a well cut garment so most of these will fit between $100-$200. Should be 90-95% cotton and 5-10% elastane for a good longevity blend. If it is something you will wear on a weekly basis it is worth spending more on it as it should be made of better quality cottons for the price. For work, the Cue shirts at $99 are a great buy. If you want to go with a trend collar, with detail such as scalloping, leather or studding as it is more trend based, try to spend less than $150 so you're not breaking the bank.
