If you don’t have a white button up shirt in your closet, you should! A white button up is season-less, extremely versatile, and today I’m sharing 5 chic, simple ways to style this wardrobe staple.
Don’t let “white button up shirt” fool you for being boring. Yes, they’re great for an office environment. But, as someone who’s actually never worked in a business professional workspace (always business casual or casual), I’ve gotten tons of mileage out of this classic beyond wearing it with black dress pants.
5 Ways to Style a White Button Up Shirt
Modern Classic
Update your slimmer white shirt you may already own with an oversized, untucked silhouette. Pair with skinny or straight leg jeans and great heels for an effortless but chic look.

Casual
Grab a short-sleeved version for the weekend. (This one from Everlane is under $100.) Tuck it in to your favorite comfy jeans, and finish with some sneakers.
Layered
If you’re looking for something a little more fashion forward, try an oversized cotton button up layered under a crop top, as seen here.
A White Button up Shirt with Shorts
If you live in a warmer climate, maybe you’re already bringing out the shorts for spring! A white linen linen shirt is always a classic, especially tucked into blue denim shorts.
Preppy
Since spring weather is always unpredictable, it’s always nice to have an extra layer on hand. Inject some preppy style to your look by tying a sweater. around your shoulders. (Bonus points for monogramming your white button up shirt, too!)
