Man's White Shirt

Wearing a man's white shirt is meant to look casual, classic and collected, effortlessly chic and carelessly elegant.

On me, a man's white shirt looks like it was dark when I dressed and I reached for the wrong rack in the wardrobe, and I was probably hung over as well. It doesn't fit. It's crumpled. It's baggy. The collar is too stiff and too high and I'm just swamped. I look like an overweight child. An unstylish overweight child. I'm not a man, and I'm not shaped like a man, and a man's shirt is not going to work for me.

I will stick with a woman’s white shirt. Sure, it may have features usually found on men’s shirts, like a structured collar and French cuffs, but they will be in proportion to the rest of the shirt, and in proportion to me!

It’s a big NO from me to a man’s white shirt.
