Autumn’s enlightening answers to the classic white shirt
The white shirt: a wardrobe staple so versatile it transcends trends and seasons. And a wondrous piece – whether you favour a style more crisp and starched, or fluid and silken. On the runways for autumn, designers proposed a plethora of options for the enduring silhouette, from RŪH’s shirt with an extended 1970s collar, to Christopher Kane's version with graphic cut-out sleeves, Neil Barrett’s oversized androgynous style to Loewe’s crafty embellished creation. Here, we present a multitude of options for owning the white shirt this A/W 2018 and beyond.
