Classic white three-quarter sleeve shirt

The white shirt is one of the classics of a female wardrobe, and I selected this blouse version for my basics collection without hesitation, with its large collar, fullness and three-quarter sleeves. Comfort and style guaranteed.

Yet another basic of a woman’s capsule wardrobe: the shirt or white shirt. The generous straight cut provides comfort and originality, and makes it a garment adaptable for all uses: day or evening, casual or dressy. 

The white shirt and the little black dress, essentials of the basics world

The white shirt is just like the little black dress : a classic, a basic, a fundamental element of the female wardrobe. Although that was not always the case, as the white shirt, a long time reserved for just men, only became part of the female wardrobe around the 1930’s.

Note that the white shirt easily mixes together with another black garment: jegging, straight skirt, black sweater … or not: a denim skirt, linen trousers, drainpipe jeans …

And what makes a white shirt elegant is, of course, the cut, the fabric and details like the top stitching.

The vagaries of a white shirt

You’d be wrong to think that a basic is always easy to wear. That all white shirts guarantee instant chic.

No, the white shirt, in particular, is a great example of the contrary. Here is a garment that could have the best or worst effect. Two examples:

• We have a tendency to roll up the sleeves of a classic white shirt, in order to highlight the casually chic side. And then should we button the front right up to the collar, or unbutton it quite low?
• The biggest challenge ? What style to choose in the waist/hip area? Tuck in the shirt or wear it loose? Tuck in the front and leave the back out?

For your comfort and because I believe in basic classics that are effortless, I’ve designed a style that solves these questions: no buttons, an open collar and ¾ length sleeves.

Three-quarter length, very cool and original

I wanted to restyle this garment stolen from the male wardrobe, to create a decidedly feminine piece.

This model is a casual and original combination: a slight trapeze cut, three-quarter sleeves (the three-quarter sleeve is always so elegant) and a drop shoulder line.

And the last detail, the length of my white shirt makes it perfect for wearing as a tunic, over leggings or jeans, or or  under/over a skirt or trousers.
