WAYS TO STYLE THE WHITE BUTTON-DOWN SHIRT

The white button-down shirt. This is an all-time classic and an absolute wardrobe staple. The white button-down shirt is one of those basic investment pieces each and every lady should own. It will elevate your style game. You can rock it with a simple pair of denim pants and some flats. Under a suit to the office. White button-down shirts are super versatile thus, it goes well with almost anything you pair it with. A white button-down shirt is fresh and can give off a youthful vibe when styled properly especially, to those over 40. The white-button down also has those younger, looking timeless and classy again if style properly. Though it is almost impossible to do the white button-down shirt wrong being as it is so basic. The definition of effortlessly simple and chic is the crisp white button-down shirt.

There are so many things to consider when buying a white button-down white shirt:
• Do I want it 100% cotton or not?
• Do I want to just invest in one good quality shirt?
• Long sleeve or short sleeve?
• Do I want a few cheaper white shirts for different occasions?
• Fitted or straight?
• Iron-free or one that has to be pressed?
• Do I want it a bit dressier or more casual?

For me, this, is one of those pieces that I really invest in as I said before. Get you a crisp white shirt of good quality and nothing too thin. Your white button down should fit your body not tight and defiantly not oversized, (unless you are aiming for a super casual look) just the correct fit. You can purchase one that’s fitted or one that is just straight depending on your body type. Guys don’t worry there is a white button-down shirt out there for every body type. Besides if it doesn’t fit you well and accentuate the areas you wish to, you should get familiar with a tailor or seamstress. They can adjust it to your appropriate fit. A proper fit will help with its versatility when styling.
