A white shirt is the definition of a classic — but this one isn’t the stiff, corporate version. Clean. Clever. Completely Gender-Free. A true classic becomes a modern essential when you redesign it for everyBody.
Our GFW White Shirt is crisp when you want it, relaxed when you don't — thanks to a smart cutaway collar with removable stiffeners, a concealed button placket, and Brighton Edge cuffs that work with buttons or cufflinks.
It’s slow fashion at its best — timeless, durable, endlessly restyled — a blank canvas for every mood.
Look 1 — Crips Confidence
Sharp. Minimal. Effortless.
Styled with raw denim, a deep-navy wool blazer, polished brown boots, and a rich berry scarf, this look proves white doesn’t have to be plain.
It’s understated power — clean lines with just enough texture to feel intentional, not formal.
Perfect for: creative workdays, gallery openings, winter dinners, or when you want calm confidence to do the talking.
Vibe: quiet luxury with a queer twist.
Style Tip: Shift the mood instantly by swapping the scarf for a chunky knit in winter or a printed silk in spring.
Look 2 — Modern Heritage
Same shirt, totally different energy.
Paired with navy trousers, lace-up glossy boots, and a grey check fine wool blaze, this look blends soft minimalism with structured tailoring.
Its heritage meets modernity — gender free, grounded, and beautifully smart without feeling restrictive.
Perfect for: smart-casual dinners, events, or days when you want to look polished but still authentically you.
Vibe: contemporary classic with room to move.
Style Tip: Add a slim belt or a subtle brooch to give the clean silhouette a focal point without losing the simplicity.
Look 3 — Creative Classic
Same shirt. Now add a Crombie coat = a little vintage, a little urban.
The clean lines of the shirt balance the pattern of the trousers, while the structured boots add grounding. The hat brings that unexpected flourish that turns “nice outfit” into “who is that?” Polished, but not predictable.
Perfect for: Creative days, smart-casual events, Sunday galleries, dinners that start relaxed and end late.
Vibe: Modern, minimal, self-assured.
Style Tip: Add a fine-knit scarf under the blazer for colder days — it keeps the silhouette sleek.
Look 4 — Punk
Same shirt. Now here’s the twist - white shirt. Leather jacket. Tartan trousers.
A trio that says, “I can be polished, but I’m not here to blend in”. Clean lines that contrast beautifully with the grit of a leather jacket and the rebellion of tartan trousers. Add a feathered felt hat and heavy boots, and you’ve got a look that nods to punk heritage without ever feeling like costume
This is punk, but grown — all attitude, no chaos.
Perfect for: gigs, queer nights out, rooftop bars, or any moment you want to look intentional without trying too hard.
Vibe: Modern Punk · Clean Lines · Controlled Rebellion
Style Tip: Button the cuffs and add cuff links to blend punk with quiet luxury.
