The most versatile piece in your closet? A classic white shirt. Tucked, layered, unbuttoned — this top does it all. Here are three things to pair the staple with.

Midi Skirt
Option 1: Wear with trendy sneakers for a look that’s both fashion-forward and functional.
Option 2: Keep it ladylike with bold heels and a classic top-handle bag.
 

Statement Necklace
Option 1: Put your hair up and stay buttoned to let your necklace be the focal point.
Option 2: Keep a few top buttons open and layer with delicate pieces for a more relaxed look.

Skinny Jeans
Option 1: Add a textured topper and finish with a red lip for a confidently refined ensemble.
Option 2: For a little edge, rock white denim and push up your sleeves to show off a cuff.
