Lou Lou Studio Espanto shirt, $439

An oversized shirt is always my go to and should be a staple piece in anyone’s wardrobe. They look effortlessly stylish and at the same time give a feeling of being totally relaxed. Best of both worlds.

Maggie Marilyn Boyfriend shirt, $295. Moochi Result shirt, $280. Primness Seaside shirt, $349. Ruby Belize shirt, $199.

Harris Tapper Kantor shirt, $369

An oversized white shirt is the cornerstone of every women’s wardrobe. It’s not at the mercy of seasonal dressing and can easily transition into multiple situations. I prefer oversized silhouettes with thin cigarette black tailored trousers and a men’s style shoe - usually a brogue. I push the sleeves up to my elbows in summer and choose a lighter weight cotton.
