Contrary to popular belief, a button-down shirt is a classic that will pull together many outfits and save you time and time again when you don’t know what to wear.
White shirts are a wardrobe necessity. They can be worn almost anywhere. All you have to do is jazz up your outfit with various styles and accessories!
Do you know how to wear a button-down shirt? Continue reading for some new ways to keep this wardrobe staple fresh in your rotation.
Combine with a sweatshirt
You probably didn’t think you’d be able to wear your favourite graphic sweatshirt to work! However, by wearing it with that white button-down and a sleek pencil skirt (or even a dress), you’ve created an intriguing new look.
Wearing a fancy skirt
Wearing your white button-down with an otherwise too-formal-for-work skirt is one way to dress it down. If you’re feeling brave, try something with a little more glitz (like sequins). A higher-waisted skirt is ideal for emphasizing your curves.
Under a sleeveless gown
Put a silk button-down underneath your favorite sleeveless dress to create a new silhouette for work. In this case, choosing silk over cotton or synthetic material is critical because it is much lighter and will not add unflattering bulk to your figure.
Consider monochrome
Wear white pants with your white button-down shirt.
You’ll look fresh and modern, and if you don’t tuck your shirt in, you’ll add a little casual flair to an otherwise structured look.
