3 WAYS TO STYLE A WHITE BUTTON UP SHIRT

3 WAYS TO STYLE A WHITE BUTTON UP SHIRT

Oh, the little white button up. It’s timeless & classic. But making it look as effortlessly sophisticated as we think it’s supposed to? Easier said than done.

Whether you’re looking to spruce up your office wardrobe, go a little more minimalistic in your everyday style, or seeking some versatile pieces that can do both, the white dress shirt is your go-to! Oh, and if you’re thinking about the no white after labour day rule? Come on, who wants to play by the rules anyways?!

 

1 Shirt. 3 Ways.

1. GO BUSINESS WITH A SKIRT

Dress it up! Channel your inner Rachel Zane with a classic skirt pairing for a power look. There is something so badass about wearing a pencil skirt, and topped with a white button up shirt. Keep it simple with some dainty jewelry, close-toed heels and a structured tote – HELLO, CEO!

2. GO MIDWAY WITH PAPER BAG WAIST PANTS

Paper bag waist pants/trousers have become a huge deal this year and I’m not complaining! I love the way they fit, feeling more comfortable than a tight pair of jeans or pants, but still giving off a very put together look. Pair your white button up shirt with a pair of trousers and a chunky (and comfy) heel or wedge, and voila – a midway point that utilizes the button up dress shirt for either a casual workplace, or for post-work drinks or weekend brunch!

3. GO CASUAL WITH JEANS

Whoever said white button up shirts were only for workwear, was clearly mistaken. Take it down a notch with a pair of jeans and sneakers, sandals, or a simple pair of slides! I love the half-tuck, but whether or not you choose tuck it in, it’s a simple way to look chic and polished, while still casual enough to run around in, or meet for coffee!
