White Collar shirts for Formal Interviews

Sophisticated1 · Aug 28th, 2008, 06:11 PM

Do you have any suggestions for cute ones that are still professional looking? Mine are never really cute enough to wear without my suit jacket.

I think ruffly blouses are beautiful and you can wear them with skirts, or suit pants :)
here is a long sleeved;

I wear suits almost every day ... I've found Banana Republic to have decent button downs, although I FAR prefer H&M (for price, fit, cut, etc.).

When I wear a white shirt with a black suit, though, I always try to wear a chunkier (or multi-strand) bright colored necklace. Otherwise, the white shirt/black suit look is too boring/plain/masculine for my tastes, and I'm in a pretty conservative profession.

HTH!

I find a slimmer cut shirt to be nice, as opposed to lots of frills--JMHO!

Zara has some cute ones for cheap.

I'm really petite-sized, so I can never find any dress shirts at most stores that fit me. I usually purchase them at Forever 21. Believe it or not, you can find some affordable stuff that are cute and professional looking.

I just bought a D&G white button up..It fits perfect and has black buttons so it doesn't look so dull.

ITA. People always ask me where I shop, and they never really believe that I buy tons of my suits at H&M.

H&M is great or if you have the time, go for laredoute.com. That is where ALL of mine come from and the 100% cotton ones are really nice and have held up amazingly and were $14. They have them in various stripes and white and they seem to be something that they make every season.
