Kris Jenner works hard but I’m convinced my white button down works harder. There is not one piece in my closet that single-handedly gets more wear than my white button down shirt. Whether it’s worn over a bathing suit with white linen pants, under a blazer with trousers, or tossed over a tank top and jeans, this piece is so versatile and polished all at the same time.
When we talk about best basics (often), there are a few main pieces that are so necessary including quality T-shirts, well-fitting jeans, tailored suiting, and (my hero piece) the button down. Layering options with a button down are endless, plus it gives an air of effortful dressing immediately, whether or not it was truly an effortful look.
Button downs don’t always have to be stiff and business-like, especially in the times of work from home and hybrid-work environments. I’ve tapped my favorite fashionable Instagrammers for five new button down outfit ideas. Shop my take on their looks below.
