White shirts are a universal staple in every stylish woman’s wardrobe for a reason: they never go out of style. Whether you’re rocking one as a pool coverup, with your favorite linen trousers, or a pair of shorts to keep cool, the white shirt is easy to wear all summer long. We rounded up our favorite classic versions, as well as some updated takes – like the Nili Lotan tuxedo shirt I’m wearing in the header image! No matter what your style is, you’ll find spring white shirts you love.
With the summer months looming, my number one concern when it comes to clothing is a loose cut and breezy material. That’s right, I’m talking about the ultimate coastal grandmother staple: a linen shirt! Mango’s oversized top comes in at an affordable $59.99, and H&M’s at an ever more wallet-friendly $34.99. And on the splurgier side of things, this extra-long, lived in white linen tunic from Frank & Eileen is a bestseller for a reason
Sometimes you want a white shirt that isn’t a basic. You want something a little more special, for fancier nights out or just to dress up your favorite jeans. This eyelet Mille top is a warm-weather must have with a romantic sensibility. If you’re looking for a statement sleeve, the puff on this Rails shirt is everything you want. The boxy, oversized fit of this Nili Lotan shirt really takes it up a notch. It feels distinctly fashion.
You can always count on pristine and professional tailoring from Theory, and their Tenia top is made out of a stretchy cotton/Lycra blend that keeps the shirt fitted to you no matter how many times you wear it. I especially like wearing this kind of more fitted shirt with a fit-n-flare skirt, a la Charlotte in Sex and the City.
