Five Ways to Wear a Button Down

five ways wear button down

Think you’re not a button down kind of person? Well honey, it might be time to think again. A super-classic piece, a button down is a wardrobe essential for any closet. No matter what your style, you’ll be sure to make use of this versatile item. Not convinced? Stay with me…

If you’re a minimalist with a clean, classic style, keep it simple and effortless by pairing a button down with you favorite jeans.

Looking to mix it up? Tuck a button down into a skirt. Pairing it with a pencil skirt is perfect for work, but they also look great with more casual pieces.

Tying a button up is a fresh way to style your skirts of any type, but it also converts your favorite dresses into a completely new look. Awesome.

Layering up is a great way to add depth to an outfit. Just add a cardigan, sweater, or even a sparkly blouse. Bonus points for pattern mixing!

    I absolutely adore your sense of style Lauren! You wear a button down so well and I really love how you tied up the chambray shirt! If I can find a long white skirt like that, I’d completely replicate that outfit. <3
