Casual weekend away

IF you’re going for a relaxed, casual look, you can easily combine a shirt with jeans and a T-shirt. You can wear the sleeves up or down.
It can also be an alternative to a jacket, especially given the changeable weather.
On windy evenings it keeps you warm, for example if you want to cover your arms.
WORK IT OUT

THIS type of shirt is also perfect for the office.
Put on a pair of wide trousers and button the shirt almost all the way up. Leave at least one button undone so it doesn’t look too stuffy.
Even though it’s summer, it can still be chilly in the air-conditioned office, so it might be a good idea to wear a cardigan like this.
OUT OF THE CITY

WHO says you can’t dress up a blue striped shirt for a night out?
Wear it with a satin skirt and cute shoes, like these heels from Zara.
A silver bag, statement earrings and a chunky necklace can really add to the glamour.
Just make sure to tuck your shirt into your skirt for a tighter silhouette.
LIFE IS A BEACH

A STRIPED shirt is a great addition to your holiday wardrobe. Wear it over a swimsuit for a relaxed beach look. Pair it with flat sandals, a raffia bag and sunglasses and you’re good to go.
Roll up the sleeves so you don’t get too warm and create a completely new look by wearing shorts over your swimsuit.
LADIES WHO HAVE LUNCH

Don’t forget that you can also wear a shirt under a dress, like this denim version from River Island.
Ideal if you want to wear a sleeveless dress or top, but don’t want to show all your arms.
The fabric of the shirt is thin and cool, so even if you wear it in multiple layers, you won’t get too hot and sticky in the summer months.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS

If you need an extra layer over your dress but don’t want to wear a jacket, opt for a shirt.
To give your look more shape, you can tie the front with a knot.
You can wear your shirt like this, perfect for summer vacation. You can layer it with an extra piece of clothing that you already have in your suitcase.
AWAY WITH THE CHILDREN

A WHITE shirt is a basic piece, but with children there is a risk of stains. With a striped option these are less visible.
If you’re looking for an easy outfit to wear while running around after the kids, this is perfect.
Wear it with a T-shirt underneath or on its own.
