This Simple Trend Will Make a Basic Outfit Feel Less "Plain"
While timeless in nature, the classic button-down shirt has also been trending this season amongst the fashion crowd. Sure, an oxford blouse could be considered "plain” in theory, but its polished silhouette is what makes it an ideal piece in some of the chicest, effortless ‘fits. And as we’ve been spotting on the ‘gram recently, there’s one shirting trend that can enhance those button-down looks even more.
Yep, talking about the tie-front shirting vibe here. Whether purchased as an intentional tie-front top or tied on its own from a regular oversized shirt, the addition of this easy piece will take any simple ensemble to the next level as it will bring extra dimension to a look.
To showcase what we mean, we rounded up a bit of visual inspiration featuring the top. And if you’re shopping at the moment, we’re also showcasing how to master each look as well.
A tie-front white shirt is classic yet trendy with faded jeans.
For an effortlessly chic ensemble, consider teaming a tie-front blouse with an easy midi skirt and strappy sandals.
Bring your black blouse and high-waisted denim vibe to another dimension with a knotted shirt.
This vibe is similar to the previous skirt look, but features a maxi skirt instead for a comfortable yet unique silhouette.
A pastel tie-front shirt and light-wash jeans is fresh and cool for summer.
Your favorite pair of leggings will actually look quite stylish with a white blouse.
Next, check out more chic basics to consider now.
