Women in shirts. Celebrities, personalities and prints.

 

Tidy collars, unbuttoned to just the right point for a breezy touch and a feminine décolleté. That’s how we see the women’s shirt, as worn by Jane Birkin, incomparable feminine style icon, from swinging London to romantic elegance and French bon-ton. Jane could turn anything she wore into something iconic, from her wicker basket to men’s shirts  paired with jeans or a miniskirt, and always with her classic nonchalance, a sensuality that was never too bold. Although her shirts were mostly white, striped shirts also featured prominently in her wardrobe, a symbol of timeless style, and effortlessly chic.   

 

 

 

 

Tilda Swinton  - queen of Hollywood, well known for her innate elegance and more than once chosen as the face of Valentino for her ethereal, timeless image - is a big fan of the white shirt which she wears in true classic style, tucked into palazzo pants, or in an over-sized version with exaggerated volumes, currently so on trend.

Queen Rania of Jordan chose an extremely classy silk shirt for the wedding of Letizia Ortiz and Prince Felipe of Spain in 2004, pairing it with a full-length wisteria-coloured tulle skirt decorated with lace inserts. Timeless elegance created using lace and silk in a fresh, contemporary key. The power of the shirt! Creating non-conformist looks in super-elegant mixes.

 

 

 

 

In its super hot version, knotted at the front in true pin-up style, this young-looking take worn by Chiara Ferragni  is ideal if you don’t want to miss out on the chance to show off your super fit body and at the same time, keep with the cool style of the floral print or Hawaiian shirt that is this summer’s true hit. A pair of jeans or stretch shorts and you have the pin-up look to get your social media buzzing.

 

 

 

 

And of course, we have the shirt dress. Tight-waisted, loose-fitting, in denim, plain cotton, patterned or with wide stripes. A shirt dress is something we can all agree on, whether paired with heels, flats or sneakers. Megan Markle has chosen it twice, perhaps a blunder for a public appearance, but also revealing just how down to earth a woman who spends her life in the spotlight can be, and how easy it is to feel comfy in something as versatile as a shirt dress - a kind of cross between the two garments - so much so it can be worn with elegant pumps in satin or even raffia espadrilles, according to the occasion.
