What to combine it with?
The combination of a shirt with other wardrobe items depends on the cut and style. Let's look at the most fashionable combinations.
Without sleeves
The sleeveless model is most often summer clothing. No need to combine it with warm trousers and winter shoes. We give preference to light blue jeans or shorts. Welcome to the ripped denim trend. If length allows, you can wear a sleeveless shirt as a minidress. We put on sneakers, slip-ons or openwork sandals with small heels on our feet.
Asymmetrical
If a woman's shirt is longer at the back than at the front, it can be worn as a summer dress. An unusual hem may be longer on one side only. In the latter case, give preference to tight trousers. Accessories and shoes should be as concise as possible: the shirt attracts a lot of attentionI. Photo:

- as beachwear over a swimsuit;
- with tight leggings or jeans, sandals or ankle boots with heels. In this look you can go on a date or a festive evening.
Volumetric (oversized)
A long shirt in an oversized style seems to have been taken off a man’s shoulder. It does not cause discomfort, does not press anywhere, and goes well with most other things. It can easily be called a basic element of a woman’s wardrobe.. Wear it with skinny jeans or trousers, experiment with “boyfriend” and “mom” models.Try tucking your blouse into your trousers: not completely, but on the sides or front. In cool weather, you can throw a voluminous jacket on top. It is better to avoid tight-fitting cardigans and jackets.
Beach
There is no need to rack your brains about what to combine a shirt with. Just throw it over your swimsuit and flaunt it along the sandy shore. Don't forget a straw hat and comfortable flat shoes. The rest of your items can be put in a fabric or straw bag “package”.
With belt
An elongated tunic looks best with a belt or woven belt. We combine it with skinny blue jeans or wear it as a dress. Leather clogs, sandals, and ballet shoes work well on your feet.
Fitted
A fitted cut is not the most trendy this season, however girls with a certain body type are shown this model. For fragile women and overweight ladies, we recommend combining it with a tight-fitting bottom. Wear it untucked to highlight or create the appearance of a small waist.
Long collar
A shirt with a long triangular collar can be worn in two main variations:
- as an office look - with straight or flared trousers, pumps or loafers;
