I Wear This Shirt Style Every Season of Every Year, and Now It's Super Trendy

If you see me soon, I'll probably be wearing a button-down shirt. But this is hardly a groundbreaking statement because so will everyone else. Oversize button-downs are a classic, but in the past, they've been seen as more in line with a "preppy" aesthetic. Now, people are incorporating them into outfits no matter what their aesthetic is. I, for one, am here for it and have been steadily adding to my button-down collection recently. 

Practically every clothing brand that exists makes some version of a button-down shirt, and fashion people have taken to wearing them untucked and oftentimes unbuttoned over a tank top or T-shirt. It's an effortless look that you can wear over and over again, whether it's with jeans, shorts, or a dress or skirt. Scroll on to see exactly how fashion girls are wearing them and to shop 20 of my favorite button-down shirts you can buy at the moment.
