On every list of “basics to own” (or whatever they call it) a white button down comes at the top. There’s a reason: it goes with everything, it’s classic, and it can elevate any outfit. However, there comes a time when just wearing a classic button down isn’t what you want to do. The solution? Spice it up. Take your old shirt and wear it in a new way. It brings a freshness to whatever you’re wearing, and involves no shopping at all.
Try it Backwards
Super simple–just put your shirt on backwards–I love to leave it unbuttoned and tied at the waist, but button and tucked in also works. The result? Very fashion forward and yet not too wild. Great with jeans and skirts!
Wrap It
This does take a bit of work–I safety pined both buttons and holes down, then pinned the shirt where I wanted it to meet.
The result? What feels like a whole new shirt and it’s just a tad bit elevated. Again–amazing with jeans and skirts.
So how do you wear your white button down? Any tips?
Happy Thursday! XO RA
