6 Fresh Ways to Wear Your White Shirt

Why let your sweater have all the fun? Let your white shirt hang out, too. No need to cover up the sleeves and hemline; the difference in length adds interest while still feeling easy.

Buttoned to the top and tucked into lean, high-waisted jeans, the button-up becomes completely polished — even more so when you top it all off with a sleeveless trench or blazer.

What better to use as a springboard for a standout print than a traditional button-up? The patterned jacket pops on top, while underneath the look is still pulled together. From there, adding relaxed denim and a pair of sneakers doesn't feel quite so casual as it would with your t-shirts.

The classic blouse is the perfect way to top off a pair of bold-print bottoms and a bright pair of flats. The effect is easy and elegant, not completely trend-driven — you could take this look from season to season.

We love the unfussy feel of a men's shirt with the sleeves rolled up and collar open. But we love it even more when it's juxtaposed against a full skirt and sandals for an easy daytime style.

Helena Bordon's spin on the ladylike staple is lovely, thanks to a patterned overcoat and classic pumps. She keeps the look prim and proper with her shirt buttoned right up to the top.
