Dinner time!

Many people don’t think ‘shirt’ when they are planning their outfit for a dinner. But that’s one reason it’s one of the most underestimated items in your closet.

We all have the basic white shirt & white pants. That itself is one outfit on its own! Even though many don’t think ‘white’ for night events.

It’s actually perfect as it outshines even more than darker shaded outfits. You can also tap in to the colorful side of you by wearing a bright shirt or even a printed shirt with a neutral colored bottom like these celebrities.
