SOLEMN GRACE / THE ODE TO A WHITE SHIRT
Omnipresent in all wardrobes, the white shirt represents a staple that is sacrosanct to every working woman, libertine and luncheon queen. A core unassuming essential that doesn't scream for attention or upstage the wearer allowing its inhabitants to exude their own voice, rather than succumb to a fashion victim state. This solid building block can take on the different flavors - a little like tofu depending on how you dress it. The white shirt is a versatile failsafe that can be ramped up from bland basic to a much saucier rendition if the inclination sways you.
As someone pre-disposed towards an edited approach, I was pleasantly validated at how a simple white shirt can still lend itself to varied interpretations across such a minimalist scale – a look that pairs exceptionally well against a back drop of kale (which as we all know is the vegetable equivalent to sartorial dressing).
Whether you fancy yourself an ascetic Georgia O’Keefe, or the heroine of a minimalist Scandi b&w intellectual drama, the white shirt holds no judgement.
