From Stella McCartney to Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello, not forgetting Calvin Klein, Totême, The Attico and Celine, many of the spring-summer 2026 shows reinterpreted the codes of the officewear wardrobe. From tailoring galore to deceptively strict pencil skirts, it was the white shirt that seemed to be the starting point for many collections. Like a blank canvas (no pun intended), its signature minimalism gives free rein to the imagination. The shirt can be reinvented as a slim-fit version of the corporate wardrobe staple, or as an oversized version for a striking silhouette. Another possible variation is a lavaliere collar. A very preppy take on the white shirt seen at Ralph Lauren or Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello. Here are 5 ways to wear a white shirt to work without losing style.

For a look that’s a cut above the rest, combine this combo with a pair of colourful heeled sandals and maximalist jewellery. For the office, pair with a tote bag for your laptop and notebooks.
