'I reach for it most days.' This specific shirt is your spring wardrobe essential.

We've cross-checked the data, crunched the numbers and can confirm you need a Big Stripey Business Shirt in your spring wardrobe.

As fashion continues to lean into its bossy era, we're seeing corporate styles like suiting, vests, neckties and old-school aviator sunglasses continue to trend.

And if anyone knows trends, it's the ladies on the front row at Copenhagen Fashion Week.

Watch as Jessica Leahy styles her wardrobe faves (including a striped shirt) multiple ways. Post continues below.

One of the key takeaways from the street style scene was the undeniable versatility of an oversized striped shirt, which the Scandi fashion set styled into so many cool outfits.

If you liked the look of those crisp Oxford shirts we all wore earlier this year, you'll find just as much to love about a striped version.

While the Oxford was all about preppy pastels, this new update leans into more traditional office codes with classic blues, browns and even beige stripes.

But we promise they're not boring — it's just about how you wear them.

There are lots of affordable stripe shirt options on the high street.

This $40 shirt option from Target is already going viral, so you'll want to nab one before it sells out.

The Lily Loves Oversized Slouchy Shirt also comes in blue and has coordinating shorts or pants if you want to wear the set.

Want to try this trend for yourself? Here are a few styling ideas:

Embrace the masculine energy and team an oversized shirt with loose tailored trousers and minimal flats for work.

Wear your button-up shirt with barrel-leg jeans and loafers for a chic lunch look or running errands.

For dinner or a date night, play with conventions and pair it with an unexpected piece, like a linen circle skirt or embellished midi.
