Whether you work in an office or not, a shirt is a vital ingredient to any wardrobe, especially for those who sing the praises of capsule dressing (the concept of owning a handful of hard-working pieces that you can wear time and time again).
'Denim' sounds like a heavy-duty material, but the timeless piece is 100% cotton, which is always important to consider when investing in wardrobe staples this time of year. It means, as the weather heats up and al fresco season begins, the shirt won't be stifling. The breathable cotton, combined with the loose, oversized fit, makes for a perfect spring-to-summer option.
Not everyone is a button-all-the-way-to-top kind of person, and there's nothing wrong with that, so what makes a shirt like this so versatile is its ability to be worn in a multitude of ways. Leave everything undone for a casual vibe that encourages playful layering. Or fasten a couple of the middle buttons for an I-just-threw-this-together kind of aesthetic that masterfully toes the line between casual and put-together.
The shirt is long-sleeved, which again helps with the plethora of styling options available to you (who knew one piece could be worn so many different ways)! Roll the cuffs up to add a casual, cool-for-the-summer vibe, or keep them down for a classic (and warmer) look.
We've been loving this pastel hue too. Ballerina pink is such a classy, feminine colour that will never go out of style. In fact, we saw it everywhere during Copenhagen fashion week, so introducing a shirt in Fashion month's favourite colour is the easiest way to stay on trend this spring. If you're feeling brave and ultra Barbie-like, then why not pair the shirt with a hot pink pair of jeans for the ultimate monochromatic look.
If pink isn't quite your vibe, the shirt comes in a whole host of other baby-tones, so you'll be sure to find something that you feel most yourself in. There are also options for both regular and petite fits, and for just £30 a pop, the cost per wear is hard to deny!
