This new way of wearing the shirt will be ubiquitous in spring 2021
Although it appeared in Antiquity, the "camisia" made its appearance in men's wardrobes official from the Middle Ages until the 19th century, serving as nightwear and underwear, intended to be camouflaged under the suit or jacket or men.
After being patented in the 1950s, the shirt became the new sign of social distinction, since white-collar workers were dedicated to high-ranking employees, while blue-collar workers were reserved for workers.
But it was not until the turn of the 1920s and 1930s that the white shirt moved out of men's wardrobes and into women's wardrobes. The reason ? The boyish style, which was a resounding success, and led women to appropriate the white shirt in turn.
From Gabrielle Chasnel, to Katharine Hepburn, via Marlène Dietrich, the boyish look challenges, and led the shirt to become the symbol of the emancipation of women, and the fight for gender equality.
Since then, the cut of the shirt has continued to be redesigned by fashion designers such as Yves Saint-Laurent or more recently Simon Porte Jacquemus, who spice up this classic with delicate androgynous notes.
How do fashionistas wear the shirt in 2021?
Be that as it may, the shirt continues to pursue its stylistic transformation, attracting the favors of experienced fashionistas. Aimee Song, Jacquie Alexander, Lisa Olsson and even the top Olivia Vinten are planning a new way to twist the shirt for spring-summer 2021.
Their trick? Unbutton the lower part of the shirt, to boost the sexy quotient of this fashion piece, and subtly reveal part of their curves.
And to push the trend to the limit, some of them do not hesitate to hide one side of their shirt in their pants, skirt or shorts, while letting the opposite side stick out. Something to create movement, and stand out brilliantly.
