The perfect white t-shirt

Another Spring “must have” or “essential”, as they seem to call those necessary items of clothing which we all have or ought to have, is the white t-shirt.

Here is a selection of white t-shirts from my favourite sites:

The basic cotton tees in various cuts (some are shown in grey as it was impossible to see the white on a white background!)

Now a few in viscose or similar, for a more “flowy” result

Denim of course…

 

We all turn to denim when:

Denim spring 2015

1) we don’t know what to wear

2) we want to be comfy

3) the weather’s not sure what to do

4) we can’t be bothered to think

5) mid-season

Anything else? There are so many reasons to wear denim!!

The fact is, denim is such a  “problem solver”, for all seasons. Denim goes with just about anything. Denim can be cheap but still great! So, let’s have a look at some clothes now!

Lots of dresses, I love them!

It is a little early for a dress I suppose and I guess we must still wear tights if we want to use one, although I much prefer them with naked legs. I would wear my mules and a clutch with it, just to make it fun!

I also think a chambray shirt or top are quite cute:

These perhaps could be dressed up with a chunky necklace.

Double denim, if done very well only, can be really interestingDenim on denim

I have seen a picture (I can’t find it anymore) where the match was a classic shirt and skirt, both denim.

A bit like this:

Last but certainly not least, the jean. I don’t like the 70s look. Some say the skinny is “out” for this season but I honestly don’t care. I still like it, so I am going to wear it  whenever I fancy. I appreciate  a comfortable cut though, so I obviously adore the “boyfriend jean”. Right now, it looks like you don’t even need to get it shorted, you can just roll it up or turn it up!

There is also a hybrid I found, by Aritzia, called “the strinny” (straight leg meet skinny, that’s theirs). Something, as you can see, between a boyfriend (top) and a skinny (legs), I guess it could be a good solution for undecided people!

Actually, I think I like it, but I am not sure it’s for anybody’s shape…

Filippa K & Zalando

Great news!! Filippa K is available on Zalando, some items anyway.

https://www.zalando.co.uk/women/filippa-k/?sc=false&qr=false&_q=filippa+k&o=117

It has been for a while, I think, but I didn’t actually know… I would advise you though to look at the pieces on F.K. official site (they are much better presented there) and then, if you wish, order them on Z.  It also looks like the UK site has more than the Italian one…

Happy shopping!
