Classics are what I like to call an “essential wardrobe” item. This is an item that you will not only get a lot of wear out of, but it will never go out of style and always come back each and every season. A simple white button down is just that. Paired with all of your work pieces and your weekend casual wear, a crisp white button down is classic, effortless, and down right chic!

Above are a few street style snaps that really show the versatility of a white button down, but the options are endless. Meeting up with friends for a drink is simple with this staple item to create a fashion forward look with a pair of distressed denim and heels. Going for a job interview? Dress up a white oxford shirt with a statement necklace to show that you aren’t just a plain Jane. Even in the summer I happen to use a loose white button down as a beach cover up – throw on some jean shorts and there you go!

When in doubt, throw on a white button down.

My personal favourite is this Oxford white shirt from Joe Fresh. For someone busty like myself, Joe Fresh makes the ultimate white button up that is flattering and can easily work with everything in your wardrobe. I happen to have two of the same shirt. One is in my desired size to fit well under dress pants and skirts for a more office/ dressed up look, while I have another in a size or two up so I can wear it casually with denim or shorts for a more relaxed feel.
