There are few wardrobe staples we rely on more than the white shirt. But what you might not know is that a white shirt, whether it's cotton or silk, can add elegance and sophistication to ripped denim or more modest outfits. Karlie Kloss is a perfect example of this. We found her wandering the streets of Paris wearing a white shirt over a white trench coat, both from the Max Mara Resort Spring/Summer 2019 collection, and she paired them with black pants to complete her look perfectly. Here are five chic ways to style a white shirt the Karlie Kloss way.
Wear it with plaid pants
We all know that mixing black and white is a great way to shine, but why not add some creative touches to this combination? For example, instead of wearing just black pants, wear one with a cute floral print, and instead of black shoes, wear yellow. You'll have a revitalized look in no time at all.

Tie it at the waist
Tying a knot out of your white shirt is a fun way to freshen up the look of this classic piece. This knot would be perfect with a loose-fitting shirt so you can make the knot a little wider.

Wear it with a black blazer
The best thing about pairing a white shirt with a black blazer is that you instantly look stylish and professional. Especially when you hang the Blazer over your shoulders.

Wear it with ripped denim pants
Wearing a white shirt with a pair of ripped denim pants will give you a practical and stylish look that is perfect for the weekend. Don't be too picky about the color of the denim pants, both black and blue colors look great with a white shirt.

Wear a stylish sweater over it
If you're a fan of the school look, it's time to start pairing your white shirt with a sweater. Since it's not cold enough in Dubai to wear a sweater, it would be a good choice if you're thinking of going to cooler regions soon or if you don't like the idea, you might have to wait until the temperatures drop a bit.
