What: A preppy oxford shirt
Which: You want a chic oxford preppy shirt this season. It should have a white collar and big double cuffs. It can be oversized man style but it’s better if it’s a bit fitted and sexy. It can be blue and white stripe but red and white or black and white colour combinations are cool too.
Why: Because whatever Carine Roitfeld, the editor of French Vogue, does has to be cool. Check her out on JakandJil and whowhatwear at New York fashion week. Because we all need a fresh shirt to add life to basics. Because a man’s classic shirt always looks sexy and sophisticated on a woman. Because with all the BOHO and tough chic around it’s nice to go classic. Because white next to the face takes ten years off. Because it’s cheaper than botox and doesn’t even hurt.
Wear: With stone chinos or a skirt. Wear with baggy or ripped jeans to knock the edge off the preppy. Wear with short shorts if you have the legs. Wear undone and sexy with long cuffs. Wear with seriously cool jewellery. Wear with a big dollop of irony.
Where: Saba, Country Road, Farage, Herringbone, or sneak into any men’s stores.
