Elegant style icon wardrobe essentials: Queen Letizia of Spain in white shirt

No royal wardrobe in the world of our time is more filled with white shirts than that of Queen Letizia of Spain. 

From a journalist of high profile in Spain to The Princess Asturias to The Queen of Spain, first commoner doing so in Spanish history, Letizia Ortiz has had an extraordinary life journey as a woman, and her white shirts have accompanied her on this journey.

She has worn her share of classic white cotton shirts over the years, like her Hugo Boss Bashina cotton shirt, but after becoming royal, she seems leaving them mostly for family outings or tough trips, and prefers to wear soft silk white shirts, which she pairs with skirts and pants, always fitting, for her various royal engagements. 

Letizia is loyal to the way how she wears her white shirts, her favorite neckline is round neckline with pleats, and she can be seen wearing this neckline again and again, with some variations; and she is also loyal to her white shirt maker Hugo Boss,  so many of her white shirts are from this German brand that Letizia could be the model for its white shirts.

For someone who prefers silk white shirt than the traditional cotton white shirt, Queen Letizia is perhaps the best reference, even though not all her silk shirts are flattering on her, or on anybody.
