4 BEST BUTTON DOWN SHIRT FOR YOU

I’m such a sucker for oversized button-downs! They never fail to look simultaneously chic, sophisticated, relaxed, timeless, comfy, put-together...the list goes on! While the classic button-down has been around for decades, it’s really Coco Chanel who first popularized the style for women around a century ago, with lots of borrowed-from-the-boys shirting and tailoring details! And, of course, there's that famous scene from Risky Business involving oversized button-downs, worn by everyone! All of which is to say, it’s an iconic piece that has been around, is currently around, and will stay around! And to help track down the very best oversized button-down shirt for you, I’ve rounded up 4 of the all time faves ahead!

#1 Striped button up

We simply have to pay respect to the brand that really popularized button-downs for women! This cut and design has such a classic vibe that it will never fail to look sophisticated! Striped shirts look cool with anything! Brands like Zara. Ralph Lauren, Massimo Dutti are a place to find the perfect striped blouse! Colours? Choose it yourself because all colours are stunning and versatile!

#2 Oversized poplin shirt

FYI, the oversized poplin shirt is in the midst of making a huge comeback this season! And come on, you can never go wrong with a pair of oversized poplin shirts! I have them in tons of colours and designs! They’re a must when you’re out shopping for button up! They look good especially for formal wear! It comes with all shades of colour and designs and ladies, you already know you can find one in Zara! 😝

#3 Linen button up

Now if you’re on the hunt for a button-down to throw on as a breezy, beach-ready cover-up, then a lightweight linen button up option is for you! It’s a breathable, loose-fitting shirt you can simply drape over your bikini! Love the material too of course! Linen button up also comes in a variety of colours to choose from! Definitely a must have button up to own! Available in stores such Zara, H&M, Cotton on and so on!

#4 Satin button up

Lastly, if you’re looking for something that looks elegant, smooth and somewhat shiny…then satin button up is the one! For those of you who are not sure what satin is, it is the fabric that is a less smooth, less shiny, and lower profile version of silk! This toned-down version of texture makes it much easier to wear as part of a business casual outfit! Definitely a great substitute for the classic poplin shirt! You can wear it to formal places without going overboard because the material itself will already make you look expensive and stylish! They’re also available in stores such as Zara, Massimo Dutti and Mango!
