Another 2008 fall fashion trend is the, you can never have too many, white shirt. Ever thought of a plain white shirt becoming a fashion trend? I never thought of it. But yes, a solid white shirt is becoming very popular on women today. Now white shirts come in a variety of styles. Long sleeved or short sleeved. Button-up or crew neck. "The designers have put a modern, feminine twists on the classic, crisp white shirt - which has for so long been an indispensable staple in your boyfriend's closet - by infusing it with the charm of swingy, geometric trapeze silhouettes and fresh detailing with the use of bows, ruffles, asymmetry and pleats. This fundamental of fashion has also had the pleasure of being morphed into comfortably chic dresses complete with pockets, buttons, collars and ties." You can find basically any style of shirt in solid white. Now of course, InStyle.com has some wonderful tips on how to choose a great white shirt.First: The Fabric
A collared white shirt works best in poplin or twill, which give structure and aren't too sheer.
Second: The Darts
Vertical darts below the bust help give a shirt a tailored look. Horizontal darts to the side of the bust accentuate curves.
Next: The Collar
Choose carefully—one that's too tall (and stiff) will rub against your neck.
Then: The Cuffs
French cuffs add flair, but make sure they fall no farther than just past your wristbone.
And: The Front
Watch for any pulling across the chest, gaps between the buttons, or lift at the front hem.
Don’t Forget: The Length
For most, a hem that hits about an inch below the waistline will look best.
Finally: The Cut
You want tailored perfection—a shape that isn't too loose, boxy or billowy.
The varities are endless -- cotton with stretch, fitted silhouettes, cuff and sleeve details, collar variations -- but they all work under everything from cardigans to jackets or on their own with wide-leg trousers.
I highly suggest you go out and purchased at least one white shirt for this fall’s fashion. Or maybe two or three or four. Just remember, you can easily dress up, or down, this white shirt with a jacket, belt, your choice of jewelry, and even layering with variety of colors. Shop at Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Macy’s, or Gap for a great white shirt!
