Shirts for casual wear to wear with jeans?

[BurbageBrook]

Looking for some wisdom on shirt style as in the past I've never worn causal shirts. But I'm turning 30 this year and I feel like my spring style maybe needs to mature a little? I keep seeing women styling jeans and flats with a simple shirt for casualwear and I love the look.

So if you're a shirt-wearer which shop would you recommend for this kind of thing? The style I can dress down with jeans easily? When shopping online I'm not really sure where's best and which ones look good and not too office-y for 'real life'.

Thanks in advance for any tips!

I really like the M&S 100% linen shirts - I have some from 5 years ago I’ve worn to death and still look great, so excellent value per wear too!

Do they crease very quickly when you are wearing them @Slothkin?

@RampantIvy just because a colour is neutral doesn't mean it suits everyone. Camel is a neutral but looks awful on me, as do most greys. But they are still neutral.

Trendy - well, just that if it's trendy it means there's lots of it around. I keep seeing lots of khaki coloured things. Trendy and stylish are not at all the same but also not mutually exclusive.

I saw a few nice shirts at COS but their colours atm really don't suit me

Ah, thank you for clarifying that Pigtailsandall.

I'm not sure I would suit any neutral colours. I struggle to find clothes that suit me in the autumn because the shops are full of autumn colours.

@RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie @HeyGirlHeyBoy Hush is soo hot and miss and nearly always pricey unless in the sale. I've had some boyfriend jeans from them that have been worn 2-3 times a week and only just died 3/4 yes on (and I cycle and they went at the crothch). Would never buy a jumper from or an overpriced star/motif t-shirt...
I really like the shirt but it's £65

I've been drooling over these Hush trousers but the reviews are bad and they're stupidly expensive.

65 not bad if you love it and it lasts!! Is it black or navy in the check? The toast one I'm looking at is 140 Gorgeous colours tho.

Forgot to say I also buy loads of shirts from Mint Velvet but I always get them in the sale as I don't think they are worth full price.

@HeyGirlHeyBoy it's navy (more my colour than black...you're not helping). @RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie The chinos are great, very like some gap ones I bought a while back...they were a girlfriend cut..They might still do them?

Thanks, Hettie. I'll look at Gap.

Sorry Hettie and navy more my colour too

The toast one is spendy ... quite like this Topshop one

That is nice alright.

I bought a few blouses from Trouva, a website for a collection of smaller boutiques - some well known some not. I was really happy to come across things slightly out of the ordinary. Not all of the shops on the site have equally good customer service but the one time I needed it Trouva managed things well and speedily - I bought 10 tops and returned 5, one of those 5 shops didn't acknowledge my return, but I had my receipt so Trouva just refunded straight away.

@RampantIvy they’re pre-creased for me! I wear them a size up all crumply.

@Jen435 I've been eyeing up a WNU shirt for a while now - do they come up very big? I know they are meant to be oversized, but the sizing looks very generous indeed!

@RockaLock - depends which one you're after

I'm a 10/12 with big boobs and have a L and M in the brushed cotton, but prefer the large, and then in the weave/ linen have an M. The linen/ weave come up quite big (which is how I like them - i.e. great for throwing over a swimsuit/ cover your bum) but if you want something more fitted go down a size.

They're really lovely though and would 100% recommend

Thank you, @Jen435 , that's really helpful
