Autumn shifts from leisure to business style, influencing street fashion. Designers breathe life into the classic shirt, a focal point in autumn collections.

The classic white shirt makes you want to stretch, its stiff collar, perfectly ironed fabric and white cuffs bring a sense of business even to such casual clothes as jeans or a short skirt. For a long time, the classic shirt reigned supreme in the men's wardrobe, although the first step towards the popularity of white cotton was taken by Queen Marie Antoinette of France. With a personal seamstress in the 18th century. she designed a simple dress of thin white muslin. The Queen wearing this dress was painted by French portraitist &Eacute;lisabeth Louise Vig&eacute;e Le Brun. At that time, the society, spoiled by the grandeur of the Rococo, whistled too simple clothing - for them, it was offensively revealing nightgowns. At first ridiculed, later this dress became a fashionable and desirable garment, cotton began to rapidly become popular.

The classic shirt as we know it today was a symbol of the wealthy gentleman until the 20th century. Later, as the fashion world became more and more free, white shirts also appeared in women's wardrobes. Designer Gabrielle Chanel, who broke the prevailing fashion rules and offered women details of men's wardrobe, had a great influence on this. The stars of the 50s Marlene Dietrich, <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/portraits/katharine-hepburn-young-photos-vintage-old-hollywood" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Katharine Hepburn</a>, Ava Gardner, who liked to wear them, contributed to the popularisation of the classic shirt. Gradually, the classic shirt shone in the hearts of women on movie screens, magazine pages, fashion shows, became a symbol of an enterprising and self-confident woman, and a new wave of popularity shone in the 10s. From the beautiful <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/portraits/marilyn-monroe-media-legacy-nude-playboy-photos-body" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marilyn Monroe</a>, Princess Diana, supermodel Kate Moss to today's fashionistas, the classic white shirt is a timeless classic in a woman's wardrobe. They became the basis of Valentino's 2023-2024 autumn and winter collection, Dior, Dolce &amp; Gabbana, Max Mara, Sacai and Alexander McQueen also adapted the classic shirt in their cold season collections.

Layers

This season, shirts are layered with corsets, sundresses, vests or sweaters. To make this easier, choose a fitted shirt with a fitted silhouette.

Details

Not only classic shirts are fashionable, but also shirt collars or cuffs sticking out from under the clothes. Such details can be purchased separately or sewn from a tired shirt.

Ribbon

The classic shirt will be decorated and its severity will be softened by a ribbon tied at the collar. In the autumn collections, black ribbons prevail, giving the images elegance.

Accent

The trend for larger and more pointed collar lapels is back. If such a shirt is worn with a jacket or sweater, the lapels are pulled out on the garment as an accent.

For the evening

The original combination is a cocktail dress with straps or open shoulders worn over a classic shirt. You can also combine a classic shirt with a fancy skirt: decorated with crystals, made of shiny fabric or richly embroidered.
