ОглавлениеHOPEFULLY YOU’RE ALREADY WEARING YOUR FAVOURITE WHITE SHIRT IN A WHOLE NEW WAY, BUT IF YOU WANT TO START AFRESH AND BUY A NEW STYLE, HERE ARE THE DEVILISH LITTLE DETAILS TO LOOK OUT FOR:
1 WEARING GOOD FABRICS WILL MAKE OR BREAK YOUR OUTFIT, and you deserve the best, sweetheart, so always buy the best fabric you can afford—100 per cent cotton is a pretty good benchmark. Also watch out for wonky or puffy seams and any poor finishing.
2 Now, gorgeous, the length of your shirt is so important: it can beautifully outline your shape or play havoc with it. I’d say err on the long side, as you have more fabric to play with. If your shirt is even half an inch too short, it will look and feel awkward, unless you’re in a hammock in Hawaii.
3 Pay close attention to shirt necklines, girls, because the collar shape will dictate your look. Choose a round collar for a playful style. Or draw attention to your neckline with a ruffle—it will softly frame your face.
“So now you know why a white shirt is always top of the ‘classic fashion’ lists, ladies. I can’t wait to show you how much more fashion potential this brilliant basic has in my Timeless Style section on page 194.”
