Wearing a white shirt with your favourite pair trousers or skirt is a fabulous look. Great lines and worn either tucked in your garment or over with a belt even, has that air of confidence and empowerment. So on the 'essential' list has to be a crisp, bright white shirt. The Riviera Woman has found 4 shirts that we absolutley love.

1. The Madelena shirt is from The Shirt Company - the sharped collar and V neck style is very flattering. Full details

2. This Eames Fernandez featured by Pinstripes & Pearls shirt made from beautiful Italian cotton is a classic piece. Great in the office or with your favourite jeans. Full details

3. Shirt by Zara with bow worn loosely tied will add that little extra interest to your outfit. The grandad style neckline complements the lines of the shirt and will look superb under a jacket too. Full details

4. At the higher end of the price range this Ralph Lauren is made in luxurious stretch-cotton. The Lillian shirt is designed with a crisp Aston spread collar and a slim silhouette that flares at the hem. Full details
