Hey
beautiful people,
The weather
is getting warm and warmer every day.. And who can avoid the classic white
clothes. Specially the white shirt. I found something you might not know about
the white shirt and different ways of wearing the classic white shirt.
Sexy and intriguing, the white
shirt will lend you that unfailing elegant allure for this 2014
spring. Worn only by the rich up to the end of the 1800’s, the white shirt was
a symbol of those who could afford not to work, since its whiteness had not to
be ruined.Since before the Middle Ages the shirt has existed as a piece of clothing, but then only as underwear for men or as a night gown. In the early days the shirt had neither collar nor cuffs, but a hem that could be tightened and buttoned. And you always put it on by pulling it over your head. In the Middle Ages one could choose between fixed or detachable collar. The garment was often made out of linen and sometimes silk. In the 18th century the shirt was no longer worn only as underwear, the collar grew into enormous proportions and was decorated with embroidery and lace. Later the the collar grew back to smaller sizes again.
At the end of the World War 1 the shirt went through a major transformation. It was only at that time the modern shirt with buttons all along the front became popular, even if the first buttoned shirt was registered by Brown, Davies & Co as early as 1871. In the 1930’s the shirt with the fixed collar revived and it has been with us ever since. Twenty years later the nylon shirt was introduced and during the same period of time the more daring short sleeve shirt became high fashion. In the 1960’s the chest pocket was introduced as a consequence of the vest under the suit jacket becoming more and more uncommon.

It will make your tan beautifully stand out. If
you are alone and wake up one morning feeling like staying home in delightful
idleness, try to wear a big shirt with a snug pair of shorts and go bare

Define
your waist with 3-4 thin belts and make sure all the belts are miss matched so
the white shirts and the colour contrast will get you more style attention.
For me there is nothing more comfortable and classic like a white shirt.
With the climate white helps you to breathe more and be comfortable. I hope you
