Shirts are often synonymous with the days of wearing a heavily starched school uniform, but when it comes to a stylish, current fashion statement, you can't look past a crisp shirt. In classic white, statement print, delicate sheer or of course a pussy bow. Style director Louise Hilsz shares her picks.

CLASSIC WHITE
Nothing beats a classic white shirt. They have an understated elegance which has the ability to transform any wardrobe. Keep it relaxed, slightly undone with the collar flared or buttoned up adorned with your favourite necklace. This season the white shirt has been transformed with exaggerated sleeves turning it into the statement piece your wardrobe needs.

A statement print shirt can be daring but be brave and venture out of your comfort zone. Team with jeans or slim cropped pants and the let the print do the talking. The very brave might like to wear with printed pants to clash.
