Deconstructed shirt

What you need to know:

  • EDGY. Rather than getting stale, the classic white shirt is getting reimagined in the most unconventional of ways. This deconstruction of such a classic shape is one of the hottest trends of the season.

The process involves picking apart and reassembling the standard components of a shirt in the most unexpected of ways; through uneven hems, cut-away shoulders and displaced seams. Apparently, everything from jeans, dresses, skirts and more is getting deconstructed as well. Deconstruction gives off a rare edgy vibe.
You can deconstruct your shirt into a number of unexpected pieces. No scissors or cutting involved. Grab a long-sleeved shirt and Do It Yourself;
Shirt into an off-the-shoulder top: Unbutton the first four buttons, slide off the shoulder, and pop the collar.
Shirt into a one-shoulder blouse: Unbutton three buttons, take the sleeves off completely. Bring one sleeve to the front and the other sleeve to the back. Bring the sleeve at the back over your shoulder. Tie both sleeves together at the front.
Shirt into strapless shirt: Unbutton the shirt. Take off the sleeves completely. Tie both sleeves at the front.

To style this shirt
• For a casual look, denim is the easiest piece to pair your statement shirt with. It makes the outfit cool and super chic. Wear your outfit with heels or flats.
• For a ladylike almost formal looking ensemble, pair your shirt with a skirt. Here, it’s almost a must to wear heels, as it gives the look that needed elegance.
• For that unexpected cool, layer your shirt with other statement pieces as a way of creating works of art. You have got to be careful here, going overboard is almost very easy.
