Crisp White Shirt

A  Crisp White Shirt (or several) is a must have for every gal's wardrobe!

Simple - Sharp - Sophisticated

It's a blank canvas for any look.

Keep your look clean and polished 


Or Pop the Collar for Added Chic


Roll the Cuffs to Accent a Stack of Wrist Baubles


Showcase a Statement Necklace


Or Add some Color & Warmth with a Scarf


 The options are endless but never boring.
It's important that your white shirt is indeed crisp!  Pressing is important ... no I don't mean you have to pull out the age old starch but it should be void of wrinkles.

I personally enjoy the development of the "non-iron".  You can wash & dry with a look of professional pressing.  I find mine at BrooksBrothersBanana Republic also carries non-iron shirts.

Tailoring is also important, especially for us gals who have curves.  Puckering at the chest is not cool! And baggy at the waist isn't going to do you any favors.

Find a fit/size that fits the largest area and then tailor down where needed.  (Purchasing on sale helps with the additional cost of alterations)

If you are really interested in customization, Tom James is the Best!  They work one on one using your measurements to create a perfect fit.  They can even make one cuff larger to accommodate the the must-have large watch or embroider your signature on the cuff.

And don't forget your jeans!  The Crisp White Shirt isn't just for the office... it's the universal goes-with-everything piece!!

XOXO Sarah Louise
