Cinch your long shirt with a wrap and wide belt. You can also try experimenting with a  long chain or a thin scarf knotted in front. For a different silhouette, let the belt sit low, resting on your hips.

  4. Your post comes at the right time. A white shirt is like a blank canvas, and I often fail to think of ways to make it more interesting. Thanks for all the ideas!

  8. Blue jeans and a white shirt is a match made in heaven. It works great when dressing in layers for winter where it is peeking out under all manners of sweaters or jackets.
