How to Style a Button Down Shirt, 5 Ways

You’re back!

Today I bring you one of my favorite topics to touch on. Making one article of clothing, work for multiple different outfits. I know I have touched on this before, but I am back with some inspiration.

Today is all about the button down shirt. Probably something MOST of us have in our closet, but never attempt to style. I actually wear a white button down shirt, A LOT. There is something about it that makes it go multiple ways. From girly, to bossy, to oversized and baggy. This would be one staple item you should definitely own in your closet. Personally, I think an ‘oversized’ button down shirt works better, but you could obviously attempt all of these looks with a ‘fitted’ button down shirt as well!

Just so you know how “Staple” this button down is for me. I bought the button down shirt I am wearing in this post, in 7th grade. Snatched it up at Urban Outfitters in the men’s section because some celebrity somewhere, made a white oversized button down look cool and I HAD to have one. But look, a staple piece. I have been wearing this shirt for YEARS! Probably could afford to get a new, less dingy one.. but this one now has character and memories. I’m rollin’ with it!

For Starters…

We should get you a button down if you do not own one yet. I have attached two different tops, with two different price points. As always, with staple items, I am never shy from a higher price point when I know it will last me years, AND make multiple outfits.

Great!

Now that we have the staple item covered, let’s move onto the styling!


Button Down Shirt

“with Leather”

The fringe leather jacket returns! Side Note: I wore this jacket on my VERY FIRST photoshoot I ever did for BurbNChic! Have we already used the term, “Staple Piece” enough today? Because here is ANOTHER one.

Something about White and Black ALWAYS looks so refined and established. I love! A white button down shirt with leather leggings and a leather jacket gives it a very edgy look. If this is too much leather for you, you can obviously choose one or the other. But for me, I love to really go for it! You see now where the oversized, baggy shirt comes in handy with the leather leggings. I always have to cover my ass in a leather legging or its offensive! For my girls with the small booties, you shine girl!

To achieve this look, you will need:


Button Down Shirt

“Knotted Up”

Ok, so obviously this look is “Season Permitting.” But I love a good knotted top. Honestly, knotting a shirt is a great style tip. If something is looking too big, or you need to cinch your shape a little bit, knot your top! It is the perfect way to spice up a basic look.

Being that this look is incredibly basic, I used shoes and a scarf to style it up. Once again you can use one or the other, but as always it is fun to experiment! I always feel like every outfit needs a conversation piece. If you find yourself in a simple top and bottom, use footwear or jewelry as your “Wow” factor. I always get a conversation going about these platforms. They are the perfect shoe to wear with a less busy outfit. I know we ALL own a pair of shoes with that same problem!

To achieve this look, you will need:


Button Down Shirt

“Belted”

Flare/Boot Cuts are making a come-back. At least, that’s what Fashion forecaster’s are saying. Grab your old Abercrombie’s girls… they are back!

If you have followed this blog long enough, you know exactly how I feel about a belted situation. I only ever speak for myself, because I realize not every body type should be belted. As you can see though, I use a belt whenever I can! Belting an oversized button down shirt is super chic. You could rock this look with a skinny jean or legging as well. It is the best way to make your waist look teeny tiny!

To achieve this look, you will need:


Button Down Shirt

“Tucked In”

Seems obvious right? There is something so chic about a white button down shirt tucked into a pair of jeans. Honestly, it is a very sophisticated, sexy look. I feel like when you throw on this look, you are going to handle some shit. You are going to be on top of your game and takin’ names!

As you can see I can once again not myself and accessorize this look. With the simplicity of a white button down shirt, it is the time for all of your accessories to shine. With any other outfit, this hat and shoes would be too much, so you have to tone down the clothing in order to wear these accessories.

Try this look on for size, let me know how much you achieve that day……. go on, try it!

To achieve this look, you will need:


Button Down Shirt

“with a Jacket”

Suited up! Right? Okay, the entire time we were shooting this look I kept saying… “I would look so cute at an office job!” So for my badass bitches who handle shit in an office everyday, here you are! This look made me want to type at a rapid pace and use post-it’s!

When I was thinking of a jacketed button down shirt, I genuinely felt like I could have made a post about this style. An oversized blazer, a khaki jacket, I mean the list goes on of how many ways you could throw a jacket over a simple collared shirt. I actually use this look a lot more than I even knew! You could untuck this shirt and throw it over some leggings and a combat boot and it would be adorable! See what I’m saying, I could go crazy with this style. Maybe I will?

To achieve this look, you will need:


Voila!

See, styling can be fun! Not every outfit you wear needs to be brand new. Make old pieces, new again by changing up the way you style them. It’s challenging, but fun!

I’ve been sleeping with silk pillow cases for quite some time once I found out the skin and hair benefits. Who doesn’t want to work on their skin and hair, even while they’re sleeping? @mykitsch has that perfect price point so you can sleep on silk with no bank account guilt. Can we say #stockingstuffers ?.
