When it comes to styling, there are a few pieces worth spending the money on because not only are they your building blocks for the perfect fashionable wardrobe, but they can last you from ten to twenty years. One such piece is the white button-down shirt that every girl should have in her closet. It's a must because as a staple piece, you can express your own personal style with countless looks using the same white-button down. I'm sure you can already think of a few outfits at the top of your head with this one item. What's more is that a white-button down can easily be dressed up or stripped down depending on the occasion and and of course sometimes your mood.
I would like to introduce you to the other items that fit in the same category of things you must have (to build a staple wardrobe), but we'll save that for further posts because today it's all about the ways to style a crisp white-button down shirt.
The idea came when I thought of doing more style tip posts because we all could use a little inspiration sometimes and these posts are so fun for me that I don't even want them to end.
When it comes to picking the right white shirt for you there a few tips I would like to give you so you'll be hundred percent satisfied with your purchase.
1. Don't be afraid to spend a little more than usual for this item because in the long run you'll get lots of use from it and you want the fabric+ quality to be of the highest.
2. From 1 to 10 your shirt must be a compete 10, which means you love it, it fits your body shape perfectly, it's comfortable and you see yourself wearing it for many years to come.
3. No baggie shirt please! Choose one that is flattering to your body shape, whether you're a pear, apple, rectangle... If your problem area is your waist, buy one with a straight cut.
4. It's always best to go for a more dressier white button-down because it can be styled many ways from dressier to more casual with the help of the right accessories.
5. Most importantly don't forget to be you and style it in a way that expresses who YOU are.
As I've said in the beginning a white button-down shirt can take you many places, from running errands to a cocktail night with the girls, which is why it's an essential piece. For that reason, I came up with three various looks that are different from one another, but in the end they are all styled with the same shirt. For example, for a simple, yet fashionable day at the pool, you can tie the shirt over your bathing suit, which is so easy and the effect is so beautiful. For a fancy night out event, you can switch it up with a sequin skirt and a pair of high heels like I did. And of course, for a more free-spirited boho-chic look, go with a long skirt plus some comfy sandals that will leave you feeling ready for anything. How would you style, your button-down shirt and which of these looks is more your style? Let me know in the comments!
