Women's shirts

Not only do shirts and blouses ooze business chic, they're also the key to a stylish, casual look. They are the ultimate versatile addition to your wardrobe. Whether fitted or oversized, cropped or a shirt dress, pointed collar or grandad, dressed down or dressed up, subtle or statement – the humble shirt does it all! The only question is, where do you even begin? We're here to walk you through this classic's many forms and to point you in the right direction.

An absolute must: the white shirt

The simple white shirt is perfect for balancing out statement prints and colours. It will make printed skirts pop, or go prep-school chic by wearing it under a jumper. Bold or casual: with the basic white shirt, the choice is yours.

Trend: oversized

Oversized styles have stolen our hearts (and taken over our wardrobes). The women's shirt is no exception. A casual style looks particularly good, with soft fabric that drapes well, creating a seriously flattering look. Wear your oversized shirt loose, or cinch it in at the waist with a knot or a belt. 

Feel-good piece: the flannel shirt

With its cosy fabric and bright pattern, the checked shirt is an all-time favourite. Throw on a loose-fitting checked shirt to complete any casual boyfriend look, paired with jeans or skinny leather trousers. 

Casual elegance never goes out of style

Is there anything that classic shirts don't go with? They never fail to adapt to the latest fits, colours and materials. And when you add a striking pattern to the mix, they're true fashion icons. In contrast, simple shirts to wear under jumpers are truly timeless basics. No matter what your preference, a good shirt should always fit comfortably. Try on our shirts in the comfort of your own home to make sure they're a perfect fit.

FAQs

What do we mean by women's shirt?

There are so many words for very similar pieces of clothing. Our women's shirt is simply a type of shirt inspired by the classic men's shirt. If you do a quick search, you'll usually find simple, button-up blouses with a shirt collar. 

How do I wear a women's shirt?

It depends on the type and fit. 

• Short shirts or blouses are best worn with trousers and skirts. 
• The front tuck: loosely tuck the front of your shirt into your waistband for a casual-chic style.
• Accentuate a slim waist by tucking your shirt into your waistband. 
• Fitted business shirts with rounded hems also look better tucked in.
• Feel free to let your oversized shirt hang loose or try pulling it in with a belt. 

How do I wash my shirts?

It depends on the type of material, so always check the label for washing instructions. If your shirt is machine washable, use a mild detergent. Some washing machines have a special setting for shirts or an 'easy care' programme, which makes ironing easier. This washes at 30-40°C and finishes with a light spin.
