SearchA white shirt is the classic smart shirt for the female wardrobe. It’s crisp and stylish and is something you can wear with anything. Combine it with jeans, a pencil skirt, tailored trousers, a waistcoat or a blazer. The white shirt should be fitted and not too wide a fit if you intend to tuck it in. Also, smart shirts that are too loose can make you look bigger than what you are.
White smart shirts will also freshen up the older complexion making it ideal for the mature woman. It will do this by throwing light up to the face. Go for darted, semi-fitted and fitted styles rather than a classic dress style. The shoulder seams should always line up with your natural shoulders and the buttons must never pull across the front which they will do if they’re too small.
Red checked shirts, as an alternative smart shirt with a brightly coloured difference, add a touch of warmth to you and your wardrobe. They look great layered over everything from shorts and a vest to jeans and a t-shirt or even over your LBD if you’re looking for a smart-casual feel.
