classic shirt styling ideas

Sure! Here's the rewritten content: --- I think we can all agree that the classic button-front shirt is an essential piece in anyone's wardrobe. For a while, I thought it was kind of boring and not my style, but over time, I've come to really appreciate it. Now, it's one of my go-to items. Honestly, my two favorite shirts are our Liesl + Co. Classic Shirt and a striped Maritime Tee or Bento Tee, but let's save that conversation for later when we dive deeper into the concept of a core wardrobe. Interestingly enough, this shirt has also been my grandma’s signature piece for as long as I can remember. She and I have spent hours discussing why it’s such a timeless style. Her take is that it evokes the Gibson girl aesthetic—tailored, polished, and quintessentially American. Grandma is all about the shirtwaist in every form. I think she’s onto something because, besides its historical charm, a well-fitted button-front shirt looks great on almost everyone. Plus, the versatility is what excites me the most. Not to mention the endless fabric choices we have to work with! Today, I want to share some styling ideas for our Liesl + Co. Classic Shirt to help you visualize how you can incorporate it into your wardrobe. I’ve decided to break this into two parts. Today, I'll focus on styling tips and give you some fabric inspiration. Tomorrow, I’ll delve deeper into sourcing the perfect fabric for this style. Sound good? Let’s begin with solids. While I’m not a fan of those “must-have” lists in magazines, I have to admit that a white shirt is a fantastic wardrobe staple for almost everyone. Whether you're dressing up for a formal event or keeping it casual with cut-offs, a classic white shirt can always pull through. If white isn’t your thing, perhaps consider another solid color. Here’s an example of how versatile a white shirt can be:  Our Liesl + Co. Classic Shirt pattern offers plenty of pocket options, making it fun to experiment with different colors. Here are some similar styles in solid hues to give you an idea:  Of course, classic doesn’t have to mean boring. You can dress it down by untucking it, giving it a slight rumple, and pairing it with something elegant to create a laid-back yet polished look. My personal favorite way to wear a classic shirt is either crisply ironed with ripped jeans (Grandma disapproves!) or slightly wrinkled with a sleek pencil skirt and my grandma’s favorite necklace. It’s become my most treasured accessory, and if my house were on fire, it’s the one thing I’d grab after ensuring everyone’s safety. Now, let’s talk about denim. Personally, I think of denim as one of the foundational colors in my wardrobe. Whether it’s dark wash or heavily distressed, it’s always a favorite. It’s no secret that Americans love their denim more than Europeans do, and I’m proud to embrace that part of my style identity.   (For the record, I think that first image is technically linen, but it gives off a denim vibe, so I’m keeping it.) Moving on to stripes. They’re crisp, put-together, and offer endless possibilities for creativity. When cutting your fabric, you can play around with stripe direction—horizontal stripes on pockets and cuffs, or even a chevron yoke, collar, or button placket. The Liesl + Co. Classic Shirt pattern makes it easy to design a chevron yoke since the center back is clearly marked. Maybe I’ll write a tutorial someday to show you how.   Don’t you love the horizontal stripes on that shirt? It adds a playful twist to a traditional striped shirt. I also adore the idea of adding small contrasting details, like in the shirt on the left. While it’s not exactly my style, it’s a great example of how to mix patterns thoughtfully. Next up, plaid. I’ll admit, I’m not a huge fan of flannel plaid shirts, but I do appreciate a good plaid, especially tartan. It’s hard not to fall for it.  Lastly, let’s talk prints. We’ll explore them more tomorrow, but here are a few stunning examples.  Texture is another exciting element in sewing. Fabrics are tactile, so why not embrace that? Texture can be both visual and physical. Take a look at these examples:   The left-side shirts appear to be linen, while the right ones seem to have a heathered cotton finish or a gauzy texture. For more inspiration and fabric suggestions, check out my Liesl + Co. Classic Shirt Pinterest board. It’s a great place to gather ideas and resources in one spot. What do you think? Do any of these ideas resonate with you? Join me tomorrow as I guide you through finding the perfect fabrics for your next project! --- Hope this version meets your expectations!
