Know Your Classics
Know Your Classics by classy-n-glamorous featuring marc jacobs handbags
A crisp, long-sleeve white shirt is a style classic and can be a staple of every woman’s wardrobe. Though it may evoke work or school for many women, it has lots more potential with different fabrics, silhouettes, cuff, sleeve and collar variations.
History of the White Shirt
One of the earliest revolutionary uses for the white shirt was during the 1920s when the women's workforce expanded. Coco Chanel shocked the fashion world by discarding the corset and donning a loose white shirt. In the 1950s, Audrey Hepburn wore a white collared shirt with rolled sleeves and turned-up collar in Roman Holiday, making it iconic with a timeless femininity.
Later in the 1970s with the advent of feminism, Marlene Dietrich and Katharine Hepburn were seen in mannish shirts and slacks, bringing in an androgynous style. The 1980s featured a variety of ladies white shirts from Vivienne Westwood's pirate collection, to the prim blouse-style shirt worn by Kim Basinger in 9 1/2 Weeks.
Pulp Fiction had Uma Thurman looking very stylish in a white shirt, cigarette pants and ballet pumps. Other more recent wearers of the classic white shirt include Katie Holmes, Jennifer Aniston, Eva Mendes, Cameron Diaz, Kate Hudson and Gwen Stefani.
