1. Leaving too many upper buttons open. This applies to shirts in all colors, although I have noticed, that a white shirt, especially in summer, has that certain casual and youthful touch, that you actually feel the buttons are meant to be left open. Don’t let the hot summer days and the light fabric of your shirt fool you – the buttons, except for the upper two, are meant to be closed!
2. Tucking it into your trousers – when you’re not wearing formal clothing and have actually no need to do so. Wearing casual trousers or jeans and a tucked in shirt, especially when you go beltless, makes you look like a nerd. It will look even more horrible if you have a beer belly!
3. Wearing a white shirt on a really hot summer day. Dust and sweat makes the shirt dirty in 30 minutes – you barely get out of the house when your clothing looks ragged already! So better choose a shirt in some plain pastel color and natural fabric, instead of pure optic white.
4. Wearing a colorful or printed T-shirt under it. White shirts usually let the clothes worn under it see through a little, so you might end up looking like you have gone out wearing your pajamas.
5. Overstyling the white shirt. A simple white shirt makes you look fresh and stylish anyway, you don’t have to add hundreds of accessories to it. One or two garments to complement the shirt are great – a piece of knitwear, a nice jacket or some stylish scarf , but you don’t have to wear all of them at the same time or in different bright colors. Don’t underestimate the white shirt’s ability to shine. Less is often more when it comes to clothing.
6. Wearing a white shirt with huge designer labels on it. White is such a bright and fresh color, that it makes every print on it draw attention immediately. You might be a fan of Versace or Armani, but if the label screams all over your white shirt, it’s not stylish anymore – it’s tasteless.
7. Wearing a white shirt with breast pockets and tucking a lot of your personal stuff in there. Whether it’s just a pen, a handkerchief, a pack of cigarettes or money – other people don’t have to (and usually don’t want to) know all about it. White, more than any other color, lets a lot see through, so it’s kind of the same as carrying a plastic bag with your personal belongings. Even if you wear a white shirt with breast pockets, make sure you don’t put anything in there.
8. Ignoring a few little staines or wrinkles on a white shirt. You might think that it’s such a small thing, that noone will notice, especially if you’re in a hurry to rush out and spot them yourself on a last minute. You can be sure, that eveyone will notice! It’s possible to hide wrinkles and dirt on a colorful or patterned shirt, but never on a white one.
9. Wearing a shirt in a wrong size. If you have gained or lost weight, make sure to avoid clothing in white color – it is so bright and shiny that everything not right about its wearer will show immediately.
10. Don’t consider a long sleeved white shirt and a short sleeved white shirt exactly the same clothing item – they are not! Choose only a long sleeve, you can roll up the sleeves if you feel hot. Wear a short sleeved shirt only on a warm summer day and only in some bright color or fun pattern. Leave the plain white short sleeved shirts to grandpas.
Remember all of these possible mistakes to make sure you avoid them. You will look amazing in your simple white shirt!
