TWO WAYS TO WEAR A BUTTON DOWN SHIRT

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.

Boho Chic Outfit for Spring

This white flowy top helps create the perfect boho chic outfit for spring! To create boho chic outfits, I look for loose and flowy clothing in natural tones and/or  fun patterns.  This loose and flowy white top with earth tone embroidered print details on the shoulders is absolutely perfect.  For spring, I’m pairing it with a looser pair of light blue jeans with a tapered ankle.  For summer, a pair of faded black denim shorts will keep with the boho vibe for warmer weather.

To complete your boho chic style, add in leather or suede flat sandals or booties.  I love the straps and stud embelishments on this pair.  Colorful and bold accessories will help complete your look.  I chose a few of my crystal bead bracelets in colors that complimented the embroidery details in the top.  All together it creates the effortless and relaxed look perfect for your next weekend.

Sizing Notes: Jeans are ankle length which is perfect on my petite height.  The fit is TTS, but these are a button fly which doesn’t have as much give in the waistline.  I would consider sizing up if in between sizes.  These sandals I chose my true size because I preferred the snugger fit of the straps.
