Women's shirts with long or short sleeves

Long sleeves or short sleeves?

The women's shirt with long sleeves can be worn all year round: buttoned up at the office, sleeves rolled up on the weekend, or open like a light jacket in summer. The short-sleeved shirt, being cooler, can be tucked into a skirt or shorts.

A sleeveless shirt, which is rarer, is great for warm days while keeping a collar.

Which women's shirt to choose?

The white cotton shirt is the staple; the denim shirt can be worn on its own or as a shirt jacket; the striped or printed shirt becomes the standout piece of a plain outfit. An oversized shirt can be worn open or tied at the waist, while a straight shirt can be easily tucked in.

How to wear a shirt?

Tucked into high-waisted women's trousers with a belt, the shirt gives a sharp look. Under a round-neck sweater, which you can choose from the sweaters and hoodies, the collar and cuffs peeking out add a polished touch.

Open over a t-shirt and jeans, a shacket can replace a jacket in mid-season.

What shirt size to take?

For the shirt size, start with the shoulders: the seam should sit at the shoulder's edge. The buttons shouldn't pull at the chest; if they do, choose the next size up or a looser fit. The sleeves should cover the wrist when arms are extended.

How to easily iron a shirt?

Iron it while still slightly damp: collar, cuffs, sleeves, then the back and front. A easy care cotton or a blend with synthetic fibres requires less effort.

Frequently asked questions

Shirt or blouse: what's the difference?

The shirt takes on the cut of a men's shirt, which is straighter. The blouse is more feminine, more fitted or more fluid, sometimes with a pussy bow collar.

How to avoid sweat stains on a shirt?

Let the deodorant dry before putting on the shirt and wash it quickly after wearing. A paste of baking soda applied before washing reduces the stains.

How to tuck in a shirt without it puffing up?

Pull the fabric back, fold the excess on the sides, and then fasten your trousers. A crop shirt is easier to tuck in.

How to wear an oversized shirt?

Open over a t-shirt, tied at the waist over a dress, or worn with cycling shorts. Keep a fitted bottom to balance the proportions.

What shirt to wear to the office?

A solid-coloured shirt, white, light blue, or finely striped, with long sleeves, tucked into straight trousers. A thick cotton stays crisp all day.
