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.
Love a contrasting-seam moment.
This color!
I already own this one, and it's perfect.
Madewell is a great brand to shop for oversize button-downs.
Good luck resisting this marble-print option.
The tabbed sleeves make it feel special.
You need this for summer (which isn't over yet).
Gotta love Reformation.
I'm obsessed with this simple option.
A bold green stripe is where it's at.
I'd spring for a short-sleeve option or two as well.
This looks so cool with sweatpants.
As you can see, this makes a great swimsuit cover-up.
So classic, in the best way possible.
H&M knows what's up.
A fashion-girl favorite.
Reformation gets it, per usual.
Because summer.
Thank you for this $31 treasure, Amazon.
A wardrobe basic if I ever saw one.
