A white shirt can be paired and styled with many accessories
which depict your style, sense of confidence, and approach to life. Therefore,
having the right one for your desired look is quite essential but what is
important is how you style and select the right choice as per the occasions.

When it comes to bags there is an array you can pick from, right from a stylish
clutch to a messenger bag.

Anshuman Singh, creative founder of brand Paul Adams, shares
list of some smart options to get the perfect look.

Styling for Women

The Party look: For those perfect evening vibes, make a chic
statement in a slip dress. Wear a white button-down shirt over it and knot it
up in the front for a hint of flamboyance. Go for sophisticated footwear and
jewellery, and don’t forget to complete the look with a sling bag.

Office look: Formal is never staid when the classic white
shirt is worn with a slim-cut skirt. Nothing over the top, please. Adding a
smart tote bag which will be spacious to carry your long day essentials and
match it with the heels. This can be a game changer as it will be formal but
still add the undeniably stylish look.

For those dates: All set to walk the talk? Trust an
oversized white button-down shirt and slip in a narrow fitted jeans to give you
the wow look! All you need to elevate your aura is a stylish messenger bag. It
sure sends the message across that you’re a hands-on lady!

Styling For Men  

The after office parties: That semi formal look comes easily
with a formal shirt and a fitted blazer worn over it. Go for a pair of chinos,
or even denims if you like them blue. Accessorize with matching belt and a
briefcase for a clean, polished look. And voila! You sure mean business!

For the outings: The key to achieving a head-turning casual
look is to keep it nice and easy. A white tee shirt is always the right choice,
and don’t miss wearing a shirt over it and leaving it unbuttoned. Chinos and a
pair of sneakers work well, especially when paired with a messenger bag.

When it comes to jewellery, it’s important to opt for smart options too. Designer Sangeeta Boochra shares some trends.

“Silver usually goes best with black but
can also look amazing with white and gray. Officially, these are considered
shades and not colors. These shades contrast well with silver, making us aware
of its presence with it not being overpowered by color. With white you can wear
any piece of silver jewellery and It’ll look fabulous, statement pieces work
really well in how they make a basic, even bland outfit stand strong, bringing
a wow factor to your attire,” she told Opoyi.

Silver jewellery is trending and how! Fashion temperatures are
soaring with this incredibly Indian yet modern style, and everyone wants a
piece of the action!

For that Bohemian look: With bohemian styles and indo
western ruling the fashion market, there is no other colour than white you can
pair the jewellery with! Add a pair of long oxidized necklace with ripped jeans
and jutis, and you’re ready to rock! An oxidised silver necklace paired with a
spaghetti white dress with block heels, is a good outfit for travelling or
shopping! Silver rings or chunky bracelets can be worn with jeggings/flaired
pants/colettes and a flowy/loose white top and comfortable flats/bellies.

For office wear: With office settings slowly becoming more
informal, dress codes are taking a turn for the more fashionable. Wear a white
shirt with an intricate silver choker, pants and oxford shoes for an
understated diva look. A white blouse, trousers and a chunky layered necklace
is perfect for informal meetings or office parties. You can also never go wrong
with a white kurti, leggings/patialas, jutis/kolhapuris and big silver jhumkas
or chaand baalis!

Long necklace:  A really cute way to accessorize a plain white
shirt for a minimalistic look is to wear a nice, long and dainty necklace with
it. It’ll give your outfit just the right touch of glam and elegance without
taking away the simple minimalistic vibe.

With multiple layered necklaces: If you don’t mind
going a little bolder, you can also do some stacking and wear your plain white
shirt with multiple necklaces layered on top of each other. This accessorizing
trick will give your plain white shirt that cool and edgy twist that it needs
to keep it from looking boring and blah.

With a chunky statement necklace:  Wear a chunky statement necklace with it and
pair it with your favorite bottoms to get a look that’s simple yet
sophisticated. You can also take this chance to use your chunky necklace to add
a pop of colour to your plain white shirt outfit.

Some Tips

Try not to overdo the jewellery. Select one statement piece at
a time.

Choose a flattering neckline for a necklace. Either it
should be deep enough to show the entire necklace on your skin, or high enough
to set the base for the same.

Try anklets and old vintage rings

Chokers are in , it works with all age group and looks
fabulous.
