Although it’s easy to make a habit of shopping based on ‘what’s in’, this isn’t always a good idea.
Buying according to trends can incur debts pretty quickly and just because a piece is fashion forward doesn’t mean it will suit all body shapes.
Investment pieces in contrast, actually stand the test of time.
Each week we aim to introduce a new piece for your wardrobe and provide three options from where to buy, catering for all budgets.
Save – €29, at Dorothy Perkins
We love this adorable Peter Pan collared shirt. A bargain at €29, this shirt will make repeat appearances as it goes with literally everything: jeans for laid back style or a pencil skirt for office chic. Race you to DP for this one…
Steal – €47, at Oasis
The gold detailing on this white shirt adds a luxurious touch to a plain look. The longer sleeves and loose fit make it the perfect item to throw on over form fitting skinnies or cigarette pants, for a chilled out yet stylish look. We heart this one.
Splurge – €230, Victoria Beckham at BT2
Now if you were to splurge on a white shirt, this is what one might term a hero piece. It’s not completely ridiculous to spend a bit more on something you will wear a lot, the quality is better and the tailored fit will have you feeling a million dollars. A classic such as this will stand the test of time and who doesn’t want a little VB in their lives?
