A few weeks ago I received a mission by email. Very intriguing for a James Bond fan but also it was a fashion mission – even better. “Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to use an Austin Reed white shirt to showcase your personal style. Simply use the white shirt as your starting point, every other element is down to you”.
White Shirt Challenge
Well to be honest this rather appealed to me, I’m not one to wear a white shirt on a regular basis. The last time in fact was for my 30th Birthday Allo! Allo! themed party – don’t ask!
So my mission was to reinvent the ultimate wardrobe staple in the Austin Reed White Shirt Challenge.
But I’m not one to wear simple pieces. So I took the white pique shirt, teamed it with Boden Zip Ankle Skimmers in Pine and Reiss Denim heels (not seen in the pictures). To style this piece a little differently, I undid the cuffs, turned them out, accessorised with a Stella & Dot bracelet and finished off with a REW Clothing London Drape Scarf. All a little different for a day in the office, but what a way to style up a white shirt. What do you think?
