Business Attire - The Classic White Shirt


Ah, the white shirt! A classic! The Classic White Button Up Shirt can go from both the casual days of class to the likes of your chapter meetings, business meetings, internships, and class presentations. A great addition to your wardrobe that can be worn casually with jeans (as seen in this pic) and short; as well as with business attire with skirts, trousers, and under sweaters!

Get your perfect fit with these tips:
(1) Seam should hit the shoulder (not fall below).
(2) Make sure no gapes are at the button/bust area.
(3) Sleeves should reach the point where the thumb curves away from your wrist.
(4) Collar should hit mid-neck.
(5) Darting or vertical seams under the bust are flattering to all and provide a wonderful fit.
(6) Curvy? Look for a wrap version.

This classic white shirt seen here is from Banana Republic for $69.00.

'A classic white shirt makes such a powerful statement with looking messy. When on business, I wear mine tucked into a black pencil skirt, black wide belt, and either black t-strap heels with black opaque fish nets OR red heels. Casually, I wear with jeans and red heels. Simple, yet a powerful, classic statement.' ~Shelly Marie, Director of College Lifestyles (TM)
