When it comes to wardrobe classics the white shirt is one of our favourites. Not only does it look eternally chic, but it's a versatile little number too. And in this inbetweeny time of year, it's just about the most perfect thing to wear right now.

A classic white shirt can be many things - sensible and office-appropriate when buttoned up to the top, insouciant when thrown over a bikini, or superbly sexy when one too many buttons is left undone. 

How you wear your white shirt is up to you, but we've rounded up some of the best styles for the season. View the gallery to see the 50 most perfect white shirts.
