Why you need a blue shirt & how to wear it. #stylingtrick.

By FiFi | March 18, 2021 0 Comments

Want to add a little colour (!) to your wardrobe?

Here’s the trick:

Don’t go ‘off piste’ into green, purple or burgundy and red.
Too tricky, too hard and too aging.
Never look expensive unless they are.
Too time consuming trying to match everything up in random colours.
Who wants to do that?

The solution: grab some blue !

We are talking a light blue or stripe shirt.
Watch at it creates miracles in your wardrobe

It works wonders under a camel trench.
Looks fabulous under taupe blazer.
It wants to kiss denim (from 1.5 metres away) and chocolate brown. With sanitizer of course.
It will adore white jeans and black leather pants.

The best news?
It will instantly joosh up ye olde worlde black blazer.

Oh by the way it all started with Celine. Of course.
Phoebe Philo went crazy for stripes waaay back in the resort 2016 show – as you can see below.
And I’ve been insisting you invest in a blue stripe shirt twice a year ever since.
The thing is that fashion moves slowly…so remember when I sniff out a trend early get to it and you will have years of wear !

Styling tips:

Buy a slouchy shirt that will skim over the situation but can be easily tucked into your high waist jeans.
Go for stripe, plain blue or chambray denim.
Pull out the cuffs & make sure the collar is tucked INSIDE the blazer.
And if you’re feeling the cold?
Layer the shirt over a white or black skinny poloneck.
Or layer a sweater over it as you can see below from wardrobe NYC
Beware of matching it to navy : you will look jaunty, natty and very Bank teller.
