Different Versions of the Classic Shirt

Aside from the Chanel 2.55, you should invest in a crisp, white shirt. A classic white shirt can be worn tucked in, cinched at the waist, or loose and fancy free. It can be accessorized with a black belt, a tie or, my favourite, a long necklace. Pair it with a skirt, trousers, leggings, cardigans, vests…the lists go on and on.

Nordstrom offers some good value, quality white shirts that range from the classic cut to the trendy boyfriend style.

Care of your shirt

Because I am warm pretty much all of the time, my shirts tend to turn an undesirable shade of yellow in places like the underarm region. To solve this problem, I used to invest in a white shirt every season. That was until I discovered Oxiclean. I love this product because it has saved my shirts and the expense of a new shirt each year.

After trying everything from bleach to vinegar to the power of the sun, I was skeptical that Oxiclean would work. After testing both the liquid and powder, I found the powder to be most effective when dissolved in hot water creating a paste. Rub this paste under the arm of the shirt (obviously take the shirt off first!) and let it soak in a sink full of Oxiclean overnight.

In the morning, toss the pre-soaked shirt in the laundry with your regular detergent and wait. You will be so excited when you pull your shirts out of the machine looking brand new. You can even use Oxiclean on colours…I know, it’s the cleaning product that keeps on giving.

Oxiclean is the best thing you can do to prolong the life of your new investment–the classic, white shirt.
