A fitted white shirt usually lends itself to fancier looks, but we think this structured style from Mango is too good to be hidden by suits at work. Wear yours beyond the office with low-rise jeans or 1990s-inspired cargo pants.

The boyfriend fit of Reiss’ white shirt makes it super versatile. Perfect for work and play, this cotton-poplin style would look just as good worn with distressed denim as it would with a classic black blazer.

The Frankie Shop is loved for more than that admittedly note-perfect oversized Bea blazer. Another clear hit, the Lui shirt is cut from cotton to that perfectly oversized silhouette that feels carefree and chic all at once.

The relaxed fit and dropped shoulders on Asket’s cotton-blend shirt makes it so easy to pair with items you already own (we’re talking jeans, tailored trousers, slip skirts and so much more). We love the brand's capsule wardrobe concept – Asket only stocks a streamlined selection of must-have basics, this chic shirt being one of them.

Ganni’s cult shirt has pretty much been all over Instagram for the past few years, but we’re still not over it. Made from cotton-poplin, it’s trimmed with tiny ruffles and topped with an on-trend Pilgrim collar – show off these details with a knitted vest.

Trust Jacquemus to take the cropped shirt trend further than any other designer: this cotton option is so short the hemline barely skims your bra strap. Don't worry, though, you can still make it daytime appropriate – just take cues from Bella Hadid’s with low-rise jeans and a statement trainer.

If you’re not into oversized cuts, you might find Reformation’s fitted shirt more flattering. It’s cleverly seamed and darted to cinch in your waist and make for fuss-free tucking into trousers and skirts.
