Ahhh yes, the perennial search for a White Shirt. It’s a life-long mission right? Well I think I may have solved your problems with this puppy!
I must confess, I’ve actually owned this shirt for almost 7 years (sorry for not sharing it sooner) and it’s the ONLY white shirt I’ve even owned, and it was only on a request from a reader to do a 1 item, 3 ways on a white shirt that I realised that I hadn’t shared the love!
Finding a white shirt that fits can be tricky (especially with boobs right? buttons popping much) but this clever number from Aussie designer Sacha Drake has amazing shape through the back (see below) to stop that happening!
It also has a great 3/4 sleeve which flattering the wrist, and it long enough to be worn out over skinny pants, or tucked into a skirt. Here’s the shirt….

And here is how you can wear it 3 different ways….. (goes without saying that you can totally rock these looking even when you are not pregnant too, I just can’t help it right now haha)
Smart/Casual
You know I love a smart-casual look and this is the perfect version! Pair your white shirt with your fave jeans and accessorise to your hearts content.
This is the perfect look for work or play, just change out your boots to heels to rock it on a night out
Wear it to work
Sure you could pair it back with your black pants (boring) but why not tuck it into a cool pencil skirt and add some pumps for workwear chic.
So let’s talk about the tucking-in-thing. DO IT. If I can do it with a 6 month-pregnant-belly, then you can do it too!
Change up the proportions of the white shirt and make your legs look longer.
Make the shirt the accessory
Who said a shirt just has to be a shirt – use is to add another layer to an outfit by tying it up over a dress or tee.
You could even tie it around your waist to add some definition to a looser-fitting dress or top.
As always, see how easy it is with a little imagination? Shop your own wardrobe and find new ways to add a white shirt into your everyday style!
