Rising to popularity in the 1940s, the shirt is synonymous with powerful women.
Fast forward to 2019 and the humble workwear hero not only has the ability to champion your 9-to-5, but also take centre stage and be reimagined into an exciting style statement.
Whilst polka dots are having their moment right now, stripes firmly remain within fashion’s repertoire of chic and effortless go-to essentials.
From classic and collared to relaxed and oversized in crisp cotton poplin, printed silk, or linen blends; this sartorial icon works hard.
Wear yours tucked into your favourite pair of vintage levi’s with a black blazer, layered under a pinafore dress for a fresh take on winter dressing, or channel your inner Shania Twain with a “man shirt, short skirt” combo – style at your pleasure.
