American X Factor judge Kelly Rowland ditched the usual sequins and bows on last week’s show to take on her biggest rival on the panel, Gary Barlow, in a tuxedo and button-down white shirt. The ex Destiny’s Child star wore a white shirt by Anne Fontaine and black suit by Stella McCartney. Perfectly capturing the key boy/girl trend of the moment, Kelly embraced the beautiful simplicity of a white shirt, teamed with deconstructed tuxedo charm.
Her strong sense of style has seen orders soar at The Shirt Company, the home of white shirts with a twist. Founder Donna Middleton said there was a huge spike in orders following Saturday night’s show and she had already seen shirts with high collars, button-down elegance and flamboyant cuffs rise in popularity.
Get the look with The Shirt Company's Helena (£89.95), with horizontal panels and elegant long cuffs. This shirt’s statement is its understatement thanks to a concealed front closure with seven plain buttons and one exposed diamante button on each cuff for a touch of glamour.
“I think Kelly is the judge to watch this year, and it has nothing to do with her acts,” said Donna. “Her style is unique in a truly effortless way and she looks fabulous. On Saturday she proved how versatile the perfect white shirt can be. Whether it’s a business meeting or a glamorous party, the white shirt is a fundamental part of every woman’s wardrobe.”
For a really on trend look, team your white shirt with skinny black leather trousers, heels and a statement necklace for evening. For day, wear it with a pleated midi skirt and knee length boots. The perfect white shirt is a classic investment piece that always looks chic.
