MANILA, Philippines—Pure, fresh, pristine.

Sometimes, a crisp white shirt is all you need.

Whether it’s a sunny day or a cloudy one, this fashion staple will never fail your personal style.

A closet is never without this classic piece that is wearable in more ways than one can imagine. All you need is to find the perfect pieces to pair it with and voila!

From casual to formal, everything is cool, classic and clean with a plain white shirt. You can’t go wrong with this basic on your sleeve.

Swim away—balance off that perfect tan and sizzling swimwear with a white shirt for a more sophisticated look on the beach. Wrap it around or dangle it, either way looks fresh.

Shopping spree—a day at the mall calls for fashion and comfort. Shop till you drop in a plain white shirt paired with a monochromatic skirt. Accentuate with a skinny belt and you’re good to go. Oops, don’t forget that bag, it’s shopping day!

The weekender—everyone needs a doze-off from a busy life. We all need the time to lounge around and play. Layer a white shirt and a light-colored blouse paired with shorts to ease up on this fun-filled day.

Little black dress—whether it’s a dinner date or a night full of martinis at your favorite bar, sophistication is in when a white shirt is layered with an LBD. Add a belt to show off your sexy silhouette and never go without a purse. An LBD and a classic white shirt—with two rights, who can possibly go wrong?

Down to business—at a workplace where no one is seen without a white shirt, set yourself apart from the rest by layering it with a dark colored knitted top. To add texture, pair it with a printed skirt. Spice up your office wardrobe. After all, work should be exciting and inspiring just like your clothes.

Crazed and lazed—snug in a loose-fitting white shirt at home, in the comfort of your sack. You have got to admit, it doesn’t get cozier or sexier than this.
