Ask anyone in fashion about the ultimate wardrobe staple and we guarantee that there’s an eighty percent chance they’ll mention the classic white shirt. It goes with everything, you can dress it up and down, it is as timeless and universal as a red lip. But lately, we’re seeing the rise of the reconstructed shirt – a sleeve missing, collars widened to expose the shoulders, straps added at the waist, one shirt fused with two others. The street style pack can’t seem to wear a shirt that doesn’t reveal at least a good amount of décolletage these days, whether it’s from Jacquemus or up-and-coming Monse, or just a regular shirt that they’ve manhandled into a new one. (That’s what Yoyo did to the shirt she wore to Dolce & Gabbana in Milan last month.) Below, the new statement shirts to get behind in order to stay ahead.
