Panointed firm. Necessary at the end of August, with those returning on one side and those finally leaving on the other. For all, sooner or later, the time will come to return. And before doing that, it would be better to already have the protagonist piece of theback to office outfit par excellence: the classic white shirt.
Some find it boring, like a job well done. But the white-collar uniform is truly a concentration of style in detail, if chosen with care. And with the Autumn-Winter 2023/2024 season approaching, under the banner ofausterityeven the Summer seems more than ever set on the straight path of elegance.
Where have we seen it
While linen and striped shirts proliferate as original cover-ups under umbrellas, the white shirt prepares to replace them in the transition from summer to autumn. The timeless basic, straddling the seasons, takes on slightly rounded, soft connotations and profiles: the rigid cotton poplin version with a masculine cut is flanked by the white shirt characterized by a lighter thickness, with front pockets and concealed buttons, like the one spotted at the fashion show Eftychia.

Vanilla or coconut flavour, for a last hint of summer: to be kept slightly open on the neck but with the sleeves already buttoned and starched. The important thing is that it looks like it has just come out of the dry cleaners, to distinguish itself from the more relaxed models that preceded it in the carefree summer period.

How to match the white shirt when you return
Ever since the world began, the easiest way to wear a white shirt is a denim-based outfit. Be careful when choosing jeans, which must be formal, characterized by a medium wash, neither too light nor too dark. The leg, straight and tapered; life, medium-high after the reductions granted in a holiday atmosphere. Long, to cover the shoes, as per the strictest company provisions: sandals that cover the toes are still valid, such as the trendy crab-shaped models or mules with heels, rigorous in black.
On paper, despite the more fashionable digressions, the desk style ally of the white shirt is still the blazer: the white shirt, the most traditional under jacket, is more contemporary when combined with vintage-inspired models, such as a brown blazer in Prince of Wales or textured fabric. Cleanliness is everything: no to bright colors and prints, yes to minimalism Quiet Luxury – because quality, in terms of white shirts, can be seen with the naked eye.
An exemplary outfit to say the least, to be copied in every detail. Without stress, that we will already have enough…
