The 5 best items of clothing from The White Company according to our fashion editors
There’s no better place to start your forever wardrobe...
Do you know anyone who doesn’t love The White Company? Receiving a luxuriously scented candle is the ultimate gift, or just sinking into their heavenly bedding, which transforms every bed into a five star hotel... The White Company put quality at the forefront and their clothing is no different. Which is why we've asked the fashion experts to pick out the most stylish items for Spring.
TWC’s designs are distinctive – timeless and ageless, they are classic building block pieces that every wardrobe needs, yet they are never boring. A perfectly cut white shirt, the finest cashmere cardigan, a simple navy sweatshirt featuring a button down back, these are the types of pieces they do so well, that effortlessly transform a ‘jeans and jumper outfit’ into a stylish off duty look.
And that’s what we all want, a wardrobe that just goes together, not trying too hard, with quality that lasts wash after wash. In our mind when we talk about the 'capsule wardrobe' we are often picturing The White Company. Their company founder sums this up nicely:
“Think style not fashion, quality not quantity and an attention to detail that extends through everything we do”, Chrissie Rucker OBE Founder of The White Company
It’s obvious that every piece on TWC site has been designed with ‘style’ in mind. The classic colour ways of black, white and navy are a constant staple, sometimes interjected with pale pinks and stripes.
Fabric quality never falters – 100% linen, 100% cotton and organic cotton have always been their go to. But it’s the details that really give The White Company the edge: the subtle mixing of textures, wearable cuts that are modern while still being timeless, buttons and ties that give a piece interest without ever being fussy.
So here are our top five Spring picks for creating a stylish, timeless wardrobe that really will last…

Linen stripe T-shirt dress
This kaftan-style dress is a holiday wardrobe go-to because it's so easy to wear, and it has POCKETS. We love linen for its relaxed feel and its sustainable credentials.

Wear with natural fabrics, espadrilles, a wicker bag and huge Riviera style sunhat.
