I own many shirts, not many like this however – most of mine are frilly or have other patterns etc.
Im only 14 – so the only reason I possess all these is for my work as a waitress

I own FOUR button down white shirts. And man do I love them. I love wearing them with jeans and some sparkly flats or killer stilettos.

I do own a white shirt, but I don’t own one that fits well. I’m very narrow in the ribcage and shoulders, so even a size 0 (which I believe is a 4 in the UK) still doesn’t quite work.
I suppose I could always take it to a tailor…

Well, i own one because I have found it very useful for layering purposes. I love layering a vest over them!

I bought a Wolford shirt “body” – available in white or black – see their website for mail order. Just love those nifty little poppers! It looks great with a suit, black trousers (yep, I own them too)or even jeans. Tip = buy a size smaller than you usually are, as they come up big big big.

No. I’m too pale for white. I do have some guys button down shirts for wearing around the house on study-for-exam-days. But those are not to leave the house.

I own at least 3 white shirts. There are however part of my school uniform, making them essential.
I do however wear them with a wide ribbon as a belt if I’m out of pretty tops for formal occasions.

Well, I don’t own one mainly because 8 years of swimming gives a lady some very manly shoulders, and shirts without stretch don’t usually fit the lower part of my torso. Basically, all of my shirts are a size up to fit my giant shoulders, and T-shirts and polos just tend to look better.

i don’t find them ‘boring’ at all. i think the trick is to stay far, far away from ‘contemporary’ or ‘updated’ versions of the shirt – those will make you look like a soccer mom. i own a few that are slim-cut with proper buttons and i find them essential for layering with vintage cardigans or pairing with houndstooth/tweed skirts and jackets. you gotta rock the classic sex appeal…
