For AW17, the crisp white shirt reigned supreme with models at Carolina Herrera taking to the runway in the cleanest button-ups. The twist? Oh-so-prim-and-proper collars fanning out neck-down to the shoulders, with starchy dove-white pussy-bow detailing at the top button. Plush velvety pleated midi skirts and heeled boots nailed the perfect monochrome workwear look to step into the new year in.
