A classic white shirt is as much a guarantee of fashionable win-win as a little black dress, a pair of straight-leg jeans or pleated loafers. And when you want to dilute this stability with texture, we turn to alternative models of our favorite things. This summer, this approach is clearly visible in the looks of fashionistas who remain faithful to the white shirt. Next – 5 models of shirts in which details play a key role.

White shirt with ruffles
As the boho aesthetic charismatically reigns supreme in our summer wardrobes, its influence has spread to everyday looks. Whether for the office, a special occasion, or a holiday, a ruffled shirt is a great choice to lighten up a formal mood with a touch of playfulness.

Asian-style white shirt
In recent fashion seasons, designers and mass-market brands have mostly focused on kimono silhouettes, if they have turned to Asian style. In 2026, this scenario has changed – now in fashion are loose-fitting shirts and jackets with characteristic horizontal fasteners. And this is a worthy version of the white shirt, which you can give a chance to this summer.

White oversized shirt
While there's nothing new about the oversized shirt, it remains a staple among shirts with character due to its versatility. With banana pants, sheer skirts, over a slip dress, and as an extra layer of sun protection when you're at the beach. Neglecting this shirt is a risk, and it's not worth it.

White shirt with decorative element
The younger sister of the basic fitted shirt, which is distinguished from the more sophisticated option only by a characteristic decorative element. Here we see a white shirt with a lace cape, and you can also choose a model with lantern sleeves, fringe on the collar, decorated pockets or cuffs. White shirts can also be interesting.

White shirt with pleats
Fans of textured clothing will like this option. Pleating can go beyond skirts, and a shirt is one of the options for summer, because it's a sin to hide such beauty under outerwear. In tandem with simple loose jeans and flip-flops, the look has a modern and not overloaded look.
