I Asked Over 2000 Women Where to Buy the Best White Shirts—They Rate These 16
The term "effortlessly chic" gets thrown around a lot in fashion. In reality, these two words are rarely applicable. But when it comes to the white shirt? Absolutely. No matter what sort of budget you have or what kind of sense of style, the white shirt is the ultimate wardrobe staple. Is there anything so simple yet so chic? It's so easy to wear at the weekend and for the office. Perfect for a night out but also a night in watching Netflix. It's the ultimate classic to have in one's arsenal, and whether it's oversized or fitted, linen or poplin, there are endless ways this classic piece appeals and can be rendered.
The white shirt even has its own icons. Old Hollywood stars such as Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly wore them loose with capri pants or tucked into pencil skirts. Another recognizable look comes from Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, in which she wore a white shirt tied at the waist and a miniskirt. Modern-day white-shirt muses, however, include the likes of Jenna Lyons, former creative director of J.Crew (after all, she reconfigured how we view this humble item). But perhaps our favorite go-to celebrity for white-shirt styling inspiration is Victoria Beckham, whose insouciant way of rolling up her sleeves has us wanting to do the same. But whatever your preference, one thing's for certain: Finding the one that fits you is like finding the fashion holy grail. It needs to fit just right, and not gape at the chest or be so huge you look pregnant (unless you actually are, of course). It needs to weather a coffee spill (because it will happen), and it needs to be long-lasting because when you find the ultimate one, you'll never get rid of it.To get the definitive guide to the best white shirts for women, I put the question to our 2000-member Facebook group, So... Should I Should Buy This?, asking them where they've found their best-ever white shirts. I also asked all the editors at Who What Wear which brands they rated. I had plenty of responses, and some labels clearly stood out, but what was evident was that no matter the price, people were willing to pay for more if a genuinely perfect fit was on offer. Of all the brands that came out on top, there were two winners: COS was the most popular in general, as well as Gap. But there were so many more that were recommended—from Madewell's relaxed-fitting silhouettes to Theory's great quality fabrics that will last you a lifetime. Ready to discover your favorite white shirt? Keep scrolling for our edit, and then see how to style yours.Style Notes: You seriously can't go wrong with a white shirt tucked into blue jeans. Pair with all-black accessories. Style Notes: If you're a skirt person or just want to wear something a bit more oversized, take a tip from Brittany Bathgate and wear yours loose in an A-line skirt. Style Notes: Another jeans-and–white shirt combination, but this time with white heels. It's a small difference, but it really makes an impact. Style Notes: Up the sass factor by wearing your loose white shirt tucked into a miniskirt and metallic heels.H&M wasn't mentioned in the group discussion, but I've had a white shirt from the brand for about five years, and it hasn't let me down. Great for a cover-up on the beach, but also smart enough for work. This brand was cited a couple of times as a great place to find timeless and quality shirts. Market editor, Judith Jones loves button-down shirts from Madewell. They're great fitting, easy-to-wear, and good quality.Plenty of the members of the Who What Wear Facebook group love COS. This is because it offers white shirts with a twist. Another brand that was mentioned a few times was Gap. Not only are they apparently easy to iron, but they also last a long time. Nordstrom made brand, Treasure & Bond have some excellent looser-fitting silhouettes that clock in at under-$100.For a real investment piece, you can't go wrong with Theory's classic white shirts. For a great quality, versatile button-down that will last you a lifetime look no further than Nili Lotan's relaxed-fitting button downs.Old Navy shirts are another affordable favorite of our editors. Another great place to find basics is Uniqlo. French brand Sézane does a great line in shirts, but you'll have to be quick, as they sell out very quickly. If you're looking for a luxe-feeling white shirt, Equipment is a must-try for their silky fabrics and great-fitting silhouettes.Another recommendation from our Facebook group was Ralph Lauren. I own a striped shirt from the brand, and can attest that these wear well and look great on. The Duchess of Cambridge's favorite T-shirt brand, Me+Em, also offers chic white shirts. Arket is a great place to go for basics that look expensive but are very affordable. M&S shirts are ideal for those with bigger busts.
If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
