From Stella McCartney to Saint Laurent, Calvin Klein, Totême, The Attico and Celine, the spring-summer 2026 collections are massively reimagining the aesthetics of officewear. And while suits and “strict” pencil skirts dominated the catwalks, it was the white shirt that became the starting point. Like a blank canvas, it opens up endless styling possibilities: from fitted models in the spirit of classic office wardrobe to oversized silhouettes with character. Among the current variations are shirts with a bow, as in Ralph Lauren and Saint Laurent. We have collected five new ways to style a white shirt in 2026 – appropriate and modern for any occasion.
White shirt + leather skirt
The leather pencil skirt, which has been in trend for several seasons, gets a new sound when combined with an oversized shirt, as in Givenchy. Add colorful sandals and massive jewelry – and the office look will immediately look fresher. You can complete it with a roomy tote bag.

White shirt + Bermuda shorts
The perfect option for hot days is a shirt paired with neatly tailored Bermuda shorts, like Ralph Lauren. Shoes are as comfortable as possible: loafers or topsiders.

Relaxed denim
This spring, take inspiration from Stella McCartney's look: baggy jeans and a white shirt casually unbuttoned over a suede jacket. Add sneakers or loafers for a balance between relaxed and elegant.

Shirt with a bow
This option seems to be created for the heroine Sylvie Grato from the TV series “Emilie in Paris.” A white shirt with a bow, a leather skirt, heels and black glasses – the perfect image of a modern businesswoman in the Saint Laurent version.

Total white
Instead of a classic suit, go for an all-white look like Celine: light pants to match the shirt and minimalist shoes. A simple but extremely effective option for spring and summer.
