When I was younger and I thought about someone wearing a button down, I envisioned someone going to work, very business like, and somewhat stuffy. My how that idea has changed for me! That is now no longer the case. Now I think- chic, sophisticated, and classic in a COOL way. I am such a major fan of button downs, and there are so many different prints, styles, and ways to wear the classic or not so classic button down!

When I’m not wearing a t-shirt and jeans, you’ll find me in a button down and jeans. They are easy to throw on but still look put together, and BONUS, they can go from day to night with a switch of your kicks! When you can find ones that you can wash in your laundry easy with no fuss, that makes them even better. Kid friendly, what? SO necessary these days! Am I right, Mamas?

Whether you’re a classic chick who sports the white button down with blue jeans and tennis shoes, or stylists who prefers to slip into a printed button down paired with ripped denim or leather pants and mules, or a little bit of both, there is a buttoned blouse for everyones preferred style! A few of the brands you’ll find in my closet include Xirena, Frank & Eileen, Equipment and Rails, among others. They are available in an array of prices, but with a button down that you will wear time and time again, I feel it’s worth it to splurge on ones that won’t ruin quickly and that can handle day to day wear and tear.

I wanted to share a few of may current favorites, so take a look below! I currently own this one, this one and this one and have them in constant rotation. Are you a fan of the button down shirt? It’s such a staple and I believe it should be in everyones capsule wardrobe!
