White two-fold poplin shirt, £57 by T.M. Lewin

They've been making shirts for over a century, so it's fair to say they know a thing or two about their trade. This white poplin shirt has a flattering, tailored silhouette and a choice of either single or double cuff. If you're working in the City you can't go wrong with a wardrobe full of 'em.

Six of the Best White Shirts

This week, we're going back to basics with that wardrobe essential: The Classic White Shirt. To steer the buying process, here's a handy checklist.

White shirts shall be:
· Crisp (starch? hell yes!)
· Whiter than white (Ecover won't cut it - think bleaching agent)
· *Immaculately* ironed
· Replaced annually (greying cuffs? no indeed).

Wear with statement denims for a look that's perennially stylish; follow Mrs Beckham's lead and team with pencil skirt and leather waspie; get sexy in the city with a razor sharp trouser suit or add smart shorts for quintessential spring chic. If you're feeling brave wear with pants à la Sienna (but we really wouldn't recommend it).
