Holly breaks down how to style a white shirt in a variety of ways, ensuring that it’s not just a basic garment but a statement piece that can be dressed up or down for any occasion.

 

1. Why a White Button-Down Shirt is a Must-Have:

 

o Timeless Appeal: A white button-down shirt is a classic staple that never goes out of style, making it a valuable investment piece for any wardrobe.

 

o Versatility: The white button-down serves as a neutral base that can be styled in countless ways, allowing you to create multiple looks with a single item.

 

o Ageless Style: It’s a shirt that works for every age group, from young professionals in their 20's and up.

 

2. Classic and Casual Styles for a White Button-Down:

 

o Tied at the waist: A simple yet polished look. Pairing a white button-down with well-fitting jeans (skinny, straight-leg, or boyfriend) offers a clean, timeless style.

 

o Layering Over a Tank or T-Shirt, or a 'Shacket': For a laid-back, breezy vibe, leave it unbuttoned and layer it over a tank or t-shirt.

 

o Rock an oversized fit: A great way to add a casual touch while still looking chic. Roll up the sleeves 2-3 times and tuck in just the front for a modern twist.

 

3. Dressing It Up:

o Under a Blazer: Your white button-down coupled with a fitted blazer creates a polished, professional look that’s perfect for day or an evening out.

 

o Pairing with Tailored Trousers: A white shirt with tailored pants and a heel creates an elegant, sophisticated silhouette ideal to be the best dressed in the room. 

 

o Accessories are the answer: By adding statement jewelry, you can transform the shirt by adding any or all of the following: Chunky necklaces, statement earrings, or layered bracelets—to create a new look with the same shirt. 

 

4. Creative and Bold Styling Tips:

o Belt it: Try something different by adding a bold colored belt around the smallest part of your waist. Could be a thin or thick belt.
