If there’s one item that every woman should have in her closet that never goes out of style, it’s a white dress shirt. And by 2020, we’ve seen multiple variations of this. My favourite? The oversized white shirt. It’s become a major style staple in my wardrobe as it’s versatile enough to dress up or down.
Whether you’re looking for a classic white shirt to wear to work with pants and heels, a more casual look to pair with denim and sneakers, or a chic coverup to throw over your swimsuit and slides, an oversized white shirt is a must-have.
What I love about it most is whether you wear it loose, opt for a front tuck or even a full tuck, the oversized white shirt offers a crisp and clean look that makes any outfit look put together.
Enter the Elbe Shirt from Universal Standard. Not only does this white button-down boast a flattering half button sihouette with placket covering (AKA no gaping or button popping), it’s made from the most luxuriously soft, stretchy fabric for maximum comfort and movement. It’s a shirt I can wear from morning to night, and feel comfortable and confident the whole day through.
With so many ways to style an oversized white shirt, I took a bit of a different move here. It’s typically standard practice to pair an oversized shirt with form fitting pants. I wanted to mix it up by opting for loose fitting boyfriend jeans (meet Bae Boyfriend Jean) instead of a skinny jean. I love the understated chic look of pairing a looser top with a straight, wide leg bottom. There’s something very NYC about it and I’m totally here for it. I also added a black jean jacket (the Kelsey Denim Jacket) thrown over my shoulders for an added touch.
With the oversized white shirt being such an essential, it just makes sense that every woman, regardless of her size should be able to get her hands on one. Size Inclusive brand Universal Standard has allowed that to happen. With an emphasis on Fashion Freedom, Universal Standard offers every item in their collection available in sizes 00-40. That means they design for everyone. With ~67% of North American women wearing a size 14 or above, it only makes sense that all bodies to have equal clothing options available. One of my personal favourite things about shopping Universal Standard online, is their “See it in Your Size” feature. It allows you to see every style in a variety of sizes in order to see what it will look like on your body. Not just on a size 2 model.
So whether you’re a size 0, 6, 14, or 38. An oversized white dress shirt is a style that looks amazing on everybody. Dressed up, down, or on it’s own — use your own Fashion Freedom to create a white-shirt look that is uniquely yours.
