The New White Shirt: How Will You Wear it?

The white shirt was one of the biggest trends on the Spring 2014 runways. However, it's not your classic white button down. The New White Shirt is clean, crisp and subtly different in its styling. It's more cool than classic. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, see below for plenty of examples. Which one is for you? Although I don't usually push a specific trend, this one is just so easy and refreshing, there's no excuse not to try it!
