I've compiled 7 ideas and suggestions on how to wear white womens dress shirts, and then divided each of them in two groups --
formal and casual outfits. Enjoy!
V-neck SweaterA classic and typical office work example is the V-neck sweater and dress shirt-combo. For a sleek and sophisticated look make sure the sweater is fitted.
Tip: V-neck flatter most body shapes. It slims and elongates your silhouette. But if you're skinny, you might want to go for a bit rounded neckline. For more tips on V-necks click here. Cardigan Sweater
This another example of the sweater-combo but with a button line. You can also wear it open (or opt for a deep V-neck cardigan) to show off a pearl necklace or silk scarf. Make sure the cardigan is fitted.
If you're more on the casual side, try an oversized or boyfriend cardigan. Click here for more detailed information and advice on cardigans. Dress PantsThis one is especially for you if you're an office work woman.
You don't have to stick to plain black straight dress pants. Try dress pants in dark brown or beige! Or how about cream-white during warmer months? Or how about flared or wide leg pants? You can even try high-waist for a chic twist or dress pants with pinstripes. Or what about tweed or soft satin fabric? JeansJeans can work for casual office work, but not formal. But make sure you pick jeans in plain dark blue as they go with everything. Click here for more tips on women jeans.
As with dress pants, try different types of jeans designs like flared or wide-leg, or high-waist.
If you want to wear it casually, try jeans with a faded wash and wear the shirt loosely. Jeans shorts can also work with a white dress shirt for a casual yet preppy look on a warm summer day. Vest
For a sophisticated look, you might want to choose fitted vests in solid and neutral colors like black, brown, beige and gray. Dress vests are a great alternative to blazer. For a casual and hip outfit go for oversized vests, colorful or patterned (argyle, checks etc.) vests. And wear them open -- exposing your stylish necklace!

Choose sweater vests in black or other solid dark colors. If want to slim down your bust and waist wear an unbuttoned button-down vest. Click here to learn more about your apple body shape. ShortsShorts are never suitable for any formal or corporate environments. But they can indeed work for casual work settings.
The trick is to choose shorts with a tailored edge. That means, clean in cut and design, and in neutral colors like black, brown, beige or white. Navy blue will also work. Mix your shorts with a sharp blazer, black flats (pumps is also an alternative, but choose low heels!) and a couple of jewelry for a very chic city office look! Tip: Mini-shorts will definitely draw attention at work so go for city shorts. For a trendy fall look, pair your shorts with black wool tights! If you like a casual but slightly preppy look, pair your dress shirt with whatever shorts you like! How about faded jeans shorts, thick bangle bracelet and hoop earrings?
Tip If you have a rectangular body shape wear a semi-fitted button down dress shirt and wrap a belt around your mid-section to create a waist. Or if you have an athletic inverted triangle body shape remember to pair the shirt with a casual and baggy bottom. Or perhaps denim shorts with a light wash effect on your thighs to add more volume to your lower part area. Skirt
A dress shirt looks great when it's tucked in your skirt. Choose between a pencil or A-line skirt in either high or regular waist. And then sharpen the look with a blazer. Click here for more tips on fashion skirts.
How about mixing your dress shirt with a denim skirt and an oversized boyfriend cardigan? Tip: For a sleek look, pick a skirt in neutral or earthy colors like black, dark brown, light beige and white A shorter skirt can also work but if you want to avoid unnecessary attention, don't go shorter than to just right above your knees. You might want to consider wearing a pair of stockings or tights for this look If you have an Apple Body Shape you might want to do a few adjustments. The tucking and the waistband will only emphasize your thick waist. But you can fix this by wearing a semi-fitted cardigan on top of the shirt, disguising your heavy mid-section.
