Or is their allure just the fact that theyre on the runway?

On the surface its simple: Get a shirt, and put it on backward.

But as we soon discovered, not all shirts are made equal.

Jose Criales-Unzueta:Heres my first attempt.

I love thisChristopher John Rogersshirt because its very light, so I thought it would work well for this.

I paired it with a skirt to keep the silhouette easy.

Laia Garcia-Furtado:The CJR shirt and the skirt have a real summer, breezy vibe.

Did you button your shirt all the way to the top?

I realized that that makes a big difference in the fit of the shirt.

Criales-Unzueta:It definitely does.

(Sorry!!)

Criales-Unzueta:I did two undone to give some shoulder action.

The collar is also very flimsy, which works.

For my first attempt, I actually layered two shirtswhich well get into later this week as well.

Then aCollina Stradashirt on top.

I tried leaving it untucked, but it felt a little too messy.

The runways were all oversized.

Criales-Unzueta:I tried this option, too, to give it a bit of a menswear spin.

This shirt is cut in satin by Julian Louie ofAubero, one of my current menswear obsessions.

In this case the tighter collar works, maybe?

Garcia-Furtado:I loooove this.

Its so chic and feels very Phoebe [Philo] to me also.

If it were longer, narrower, or wider, the effect wouldnt be the same.

I threw it on on a whim and was surprised at how babydoll-ish it looked.

(You need something underneath because its shorter in the back, lol.)

Criales-Unzueta:I love this!

Garcia-Furtado:Oh god, thats such an iconic moment.

I will probably wear this one a lot.

I hadnt worn this shirt in ages because it felt too… boring?

But now I love it again.

Criales-Unzueta:I think that this is my most successful fit here.

Its aDuckie Brownshirt that is simply massive, following your tunic-dress footprint.

The proportions, I think, workwe love a tentand it feels a little less contrived.

The shirt is also just weird, which helps.

Garcia-Furtado:No one does a massive silhouette like the Duckies, and thats the truth.

Shes coquette but formal.
