It’s a staple, it’s a classic, but it doesn’t have to be boring. Don’t underestimate the power of the white shirt as an essential part of your work capsule wardrobe.

How to make it your capsule wardrobe staple

Paired with slim black pants and worn slightly loose, the classic white shirt becomes sexy and desirable. If the shirt and pants are well cut, you need little else to make you look good. A nice pair of shoes and a minimalistic hairstyle, and you are ready to go. 

When it comes to a capsule wardrobe, less is more. And minimal is chic.

If a pared down take on the classic white shirt is not for you, try a look that incorporates a white shirt with a bit more detail.
