You know what you need this spring? A shirt. Bear with us. You've probably dismissed shirts as way too formal in the past but as these fashion folk of instagram prove, a shirt is such an easy chic slash cool look. Once you've bought the shirt of your very dreams, here are some ways to style it.
Wear your nightie as a shirt
Or is it your shirt as a dress? Who knows! Who cares! Elle's Harriet Stewart rocks this bed-to-office shirt from The Sleep Shirtwith sheer insouciance and a pair of thigh high suede boots. Buy an oversized shirt and wear both baggy and cinched.
A crisp white shirt is everybody's friend
People worry the crisp white shirt is too school-ish, too corporate. They're wrong. With frayed denim and rolled back cuffs, it's anything but.
Clash prints
Hearts and camo. A match made in heaven. Especially if you're Alison Mosshart and you also happen to have pink dip-dyed hair the exact same colour as the hearts on your Equipment silk shirt.
**Try a double breasted one, too
**
I love this double breasted shirt from Front Row Shop. Do as Man Repeller does (a franchise in itself?) and wear untucked, with a skirt over trousers. Best way to do summer layering tool, stat.
Unbutton a tartan shirt as low as socially acceptable
She has a canny way of making basics sexy, does blogger Maja Wyh. Wear your boyfriend jeans and your Macintosh, sure; but sexify it with a checked shirt, undone as low as possible.
