Just like the little black dress and your HG red lipstick that perfectly suits you, a white shirt is the mainstay of almost every fashionista's closet. "I had over 200 white shirts in my wardrobe before I decided to declutter a short while ago. I wear a white shirt with my jeans, as sari cholis with sleeves rolled up and even with a lehenga with a waistcoat over it styled with a bold Kundan choker," says designer Kiran Uttam Ghosh, one of the many proponents of the outfit. Roll up the sleeves to pair it with ripped jeans and stilettos à la Olsen twins or wear it the classic cool way with a pair of blue jeans and Jackie O sunglasses like Deepika Padukone - a white shirt never really goes out of style. So, here are ten ways to style your white shirt to look different each time!

Sonam Kapoor's Maison Valentino ensemble styled with gilded jewels, a printed scarf and a girdle belt is the perfect inspo to accessorise your white shirt dress.

A firm believer in the power of the white shirt, Deepika Padukone's all-white outfit is proof that you can style your white shirt with more than just blue jeans.

Or...wear it sideways for a DIY one-shoulder top? We dig!

Take a cue from Kriti Sanon's ensemble to add lace insert to your wardrobe regular or just wear it over a slip dress for a boudoir-chic vibe.

A white shirt balances out the bold vibe of a leather tunic for a classy lewk. Shraddha Kapoor knows.

Want to wear your rather OTT jacket to work? Your white shirt is the best way to do exactly that.

A crisp shirt dress is the best to play with textures. Case in point, Ananya Pandey overlaying a patterned skirt over a shirt.

Pleated, lapeled ethnic jacked, layered necklaces and bell bottoms- this outfit has a lot going on but the shirt pulls it all together. Gauhar Khan knows!

If you are not going to channel Mad Men vibes in 2020, when will you ever? Hina Khan styles here with a voluminous tulle skirt and a bold belt.
