I wore this shirt to go to a couple of shops, I was out for about 2 hours. We are having a glorious summer this year, only a few hot days so far. On that day it was +23 or about, hence long sleeves :)<br />I believe there is a white button down shirt for everyone, just need to find it. Yours might be a long, tunic style in thin cotton or linen.<br />&nbsp;Once I put on a white shirt, I don’t care how pristine it will stay, I’m fine with wrinkles and generally forget what I have on </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-hero---a-white-button-down-shirt/page/2#post-2212569 Wed, 28 Jul 2021 13:25:01 +0000 lyn67 2212569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also admire your white shirt here, Irina! Can you tell me where did you wore this outfit and for how long? How many celsius degrees are there???? (I am melting right now, in 32°C-i and I just couldn't bare long sleeve and jeans...:-() but I have hard time with white shirts ingeneral, kind of given up&nbsp; on them for me. Then I am still buying and trying hard&nbsp; making them work for me...I like them is theory-but then I am never that of a minimalist girl to be pleased how it looks on me. I have curves and wide shoulders and at my size UK14 a white shirt is really a big volume&nbsp; of whites :-(--&nbsp; am low contrast, have some barely there thinning very&nbsp; short blonde hair and wear specs-and probable I am not at all that of a pristine and crisp person-and my posture is also not the greatest as I would like but working on that:-). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-hero---a-white-button-down-shirt/page/2#post-2212433 Tue, 27 Jul 2021 21:10:01 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2212433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Style Fan, I have a lot of white and cream and ivory knit tops.

I love the bib detail and the curved hem--both really elevate it.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have several white shirts but don't tend to wear them on their own, except for a short-sleeved linen one that's a workhorse in the summer.

I could not live without them. I, too, wear them year round, often adding a layer over them in fall and winter. I tend to wear contrast well and therefore enjoy the contrast created between the bright white and black, slate grey, deep blues, and deep jewel tones. I also love how they brighten up denim, a cool khaki, and taupe. As with you, I also collect all shapes, fits and styles. You can see some of my own favourites below. </p> <p>I love the way you are wearing one of your white shirts in the photo posted. You have a beautiful way of styling and bringing harmony to your outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-hero---a-white-button-down-shirt/page/2#post-2211868 Sat, 24 Jul 2021 17:30:22 +0000 Greyscale 2211868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That shirt is fantastic on you! A white shirt is one of my wardrobe heroes too. I own three and keep wanting another. But I just realized that I only have one bra I can wear with them - a mismatch in supply and demand! Thanks to your post I’m going to stop by the store to find another light colored bra. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-hero---a-white-button-down-shirt/page/2#post-2211867 Sat, 24 Jul 2021 17:28:42 +0000 Anonymous 2211867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s a very pretty shirt , Irina , and it looks beautiful on you . I can’t deal with white shirts at all . I’ve given up trying to make them work .

Currently I have 2 with long sleeves and 2 with short sleeves and I am seriously considering if I should add a third option to make the laundry days a bit easier. </p> <p>For me, another wardrobe hero are my breton tops, can't imagine my wardrobe without them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-hero---a-white-button-down-shirt#post-2211834 Sat, 24 Jul 2021 13:26:07 +0000 Irina 2211834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Kkards</b>, interesting, I tried white t-shirts and bought short and long sleeved ones, from different brands.

I can see why it’s a hero in your wardrobe. (although those jeans look pretty fabulous, too!!)</p> <p>White shirts are one of those pieces on all the “must have” lists, but finding the *right* white shirt is tricky! I landed on this one from Outerknown and love it. It’s a lightweight gauze cotton that’s the perfect mix of crisp and relaxed. </p> <p>My hero would have to be an olive pullover. From tees to thick knits, they are my go-to year ‘round. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-hero---a-white-button-down-shirt#post-2211825 Sat, 24 Jul 2021 12:42:27 +0000 Mirjana 2211825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous!

I understand why you feel fab when you wear it. This is interesting, I don't think I have, or have pinpointed, any personal wardrobe heroes. If any, I think it might be similar to Sals knit sweaters.</p> <p>I don't wear white button up shirts. I did it once for a Halloween costume (Uma Thurmans character in Pulp Fiction). They look way off on me! Strange that... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-hero---a-white-button-down-shirt#post-2211795 Sat, 24 Jul 2021 04:24:48 +0000 Jenni NZ 2211795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Back home from a lunch with friends and found my hero from the lists! Thinking about it it was obvious it would be the olive snakeskin ponte pants. They go with so many of my tops. The first 2018 pair has been worn 96 times and the duplicate 2019 pair ( exactly the same but found on sale) has been worn 106 times! I was so scared of them dying that this year I searched for similar and found some olive animal leggings which can substitute for them at the weekend, and those have already had 17 wears!<br /> I think I like the subtle pattern, almost like a false plain. Shown here in an outfit and up close with the matching boots I found online last year during a lockdown. </p>
