A button down shirt is an easy item to quickly transition into multiple outfits and across several seasons. I’m featuring two ways to wear a button down shirt that will work for this spring and summer season. A bonus third look, make this cute colorful top work as a swimsuit cover up. Its the perfect length for it!

First outfit idea – A pastel coral orange color like this one will be perfect paired with an all white ensemble. You could easily wear this open like a short kimono or for a chic polished look tie this top at your waist. I love how this defines the waist line and adds a little length to the leg. I folded the back part of the shirt up to give the shorter top look all around. Since this has a dressier look to it, I paired it with my braided heeled sandals. The perfect Spring outfit for lunch, brunch or a colorful happy hour.

Second outfit idea – To carry this top into summer, I paired it with a white tank top and ripped shorts. I kept the top open to give that kimono airy vibe and rolled up the sleeves to mix up the look even more. My flat sandals are the perfect pairing for this summer vacation inspired look.

The front of this top includes the prettiest lace detailing. You need to wear a top underneath it. I opted for white in both looks, but you could play with different pops of color like yellow or pink to change up the look of this top a little bit more.
