7 ways to wear a shirt

Do you need to save money in January too? In this article I'll show you how to wear a single blouse in seven different ways.

I will no longer say the phrase: "I have nothing left to wear!" Firstly because it's not true and secondly because I need to save money. Instead, I rely on classic clothes that I reinterpret as I see fit by combining them differently or altering them. I'll show you how to do this using a shirt (for men).

1. Classic

I don't have much to say about this variant: whether it's with a suit, a jeans or a skirt - a shirt goes with everything. Sure, you're taking no chances with this option, but it's also the most boring.

2. Inside out

For this look, simply wear the shirt inside out so that the buttonhole is on the back. This way, you have a shirt with a high collar and catch the eye as you walk by.

3. The bare tummy

Actress Brigitte Bardot made this outfit popular: a shirt she tied with a bow at the front. Don't dare show off your belly button? Then combine this look with pants or a high-waisted skirt.

4. Tucked in

You can also tuck your shirt into your trousers entirely. That way, you emphasise your figure or, as my colleague Caro would say, highlight the S in your body. You can also tuck in that the front of your shirt.

5. A bit like a dress

Are all your trousers dirty? Spontaneously slept over at your lover's house? One garment is all it takes to solve the problem. To turn a shirt into a dress, just slip your arms through the collar and turn the sleeves into a belt by tying a knot with it.

6. Dress

You can also wear your shirt as a dress. To do this, you'll need a long shirt - unless you want to risk your posterior being seen. A belt prevents you from looking like a bag and gives the garment a bit of shape.

7. Loose shoulders

The trendy look of 2018 can also be worn this year. Put on your shirt and fasten the buttons so you can get your shoulders through the collar. This gives you a beautiful dress with a carmen neckline. If the neckline is too plunging, you can wear a high bandeau in a matching colour. You can also choose to reveal just one shoulder.
