Shop Your Closet: Classic, White Button-Up

I took this project to IG stories this week and polled you all on rather you’d want me to style a classic, white button-up or crew neck sweater three different ways.  It was basically a 50/50 split so I did both!  (Each item gets their own dedicated blog post, though).  I hope this inspires you to find new ways to wear things you already own!  Now the classic, white button-up is the workhorse of your wardrobe…if you let it be.  Maybe you pass over it in the morning because you think, ‘it’s too boring’–but it doesn’t have to be!  Treat it as your most valuable layer (heh).  My favorite white button-up is slightly oversized, a cotton-poplin (I like that it’s a little stiffer); I’ve had it for over four years and even wore it while pregnant!  Because it’s so old, I can’t link it for you BUT I found this Everlane button-up and it’s pretty damn close (and a great price point).  Check out three different ways I styled it below:

Styled the white shirt underneath a mock-neck sweater and winter white jeans for a perfectly, preppy look: similar white button-up (shop more button-up shirts here), Everlane sweater, Everlane jeans, Gucci loafers (shop more loafers here)

Paired a white shirt with a high-waisted midi skirt and add a chic belt–a chic look for the office: similar white button-up, old Zara skirt (similar skirt here + shop more midi skirts here), Gucci belt (look for less here), Sol Sana booties

I love a good white shirt all tied up–gives it a little playfulness and adds some spice an otherwise humdrum jeans look: similar white button-up, Avec Les Filles coat (similar coat here), Citizens of Humanity jeans, Sam Edelman heels (old but similar)
