5 Great White Shirts

TAGS: May 2010 magazine, great white shirts, spring fashion

There’s nothing like a crisp white blouse to freshen up any item in your closet—especially this time of year when you’re looking for an alternative to a heavy sweater.

Here’s a list of Make It Better’s favorite white blouses:

Brooks Brothers Non-Iron Fitted Shirt: This is my hands-down favorite! Wash after wash, it holds its shape and promise to be a “non-iron” shirt. If you shop locally, the shirt retails for $89.50. If you’re willing to travel to a Brooks Brothers outlet, you’ll be able to buy the same shirt for $30 less! (There may be even more savings depending on when you visit.)

Worth Extra Perfect White Shirt: This special shirt is made to fit a woman’s body, regardless of size. Its side-zip closure and hint of spandex ensure this. $248

Banana Republic Non-Iron, Fitted, Sateen Shirt: This wrinkle-resistant shirt takes you from the office to after hours with polish and style (without breaking the bank). $59.50

Talbots Wrinkle Resistant Fitted Shirt: Another fabulous shirt at a terrific price. I’m thrilled that Talbots has returned to the rounded shirt-tail which makes for a much more flattering fit if you tend to wear your shirt untucked. $69.50

Rebecca & Drew Long Sleeve Stretch Slim Fit Shirt: Voted one of the best work shirts in America. Rebecca & Drew shirts have special “triofit” sizing that is based on three key measurements—chest circumference (no button gaping); bra cup size; and height. Its double-button design is hard to beat. Worth the price for those hard to fit. $150
