One thing that every stylish woman must own is a white button-down shirt. It’s easy to dress up or dress down, and it can easily go from casual to corporate. Here are several outfit ideas to try:

1. Perfect for skirts
You can try on different styles, from A-line to pencil cut, and different prints and color, as the white button-down’s versatile design will easily match whichever skirt you might pick.


2. Over a dress
Simply give your favorite dress a twist by wear the shirt folded up or keep the sleeves long. This chic look is perfect when you have a party to attend to after office hours, as you can just remove your shirt once you’re out of the office.



3. Pair with pants and blazers
The white button-down has a corporate vibe, so it goes well with slacks and other office wear. You could also throw in a blazer to amp up your look.


4. Go casual with jeans
For polished business casual charm, match your shirt with your favorite pair of jeans and heels. If it’s a lunch date, keep things casual by capping the ensemble with some ballet flats.


5. Shorts for your weekends
Add a laid-back appeal to your look by pairing that white shirt with shorts. Try tucking in that shirt, and layering in some cardigan or choose to have a flowy vibe by having the shirt’s hem hang loose.


6. Layer on some outerwear
Cardigans, bomber jackets, and basically every outerwear there is complement this shirt. Its neutral shade makes it a great anchor for the different shades and prints you might want to pair it with.


7. Wear it with a sweater for a preppy look
Just don your favortie sweather and bermuda shorts and instantly look like an Ivy Leaguer.
