A white button down shirt is a classic wardrobe staple that will never go out of style. I think the best thing about it, is it’s versatility— you can make so many different outfits with it! Today I am sharing five different ways you can wear a white button down shirt this fall and winter!

Outfit #1: Front tucked with Ripped Mom Jeans and Oxfords

I really like this combination because of the contrast between the light, tailored shirt and the laid-back, ripped jeans. It is such a great outfit base and you can add any color or style accessories to it— endless options! I chose tan accessories that keep the look casual. You can also dress this up with heels or dress boots and fancier jewelry and a clutch.

Outfit #2: Layered under a Crewneck Sweater with Jeans and Mules

Shirt (similar) | Sweater (mine is from last year – this year’s version) | Earrings | Bag (old – similar same brand) | Jeans (this brand of jeans runs large – I sized down one size from my normal size) | Shoes

Layering a white shirt under a crewneck sweater gives this outfit a bit of a preppy vibe, which is honestly not usually my style. However, I do incorporate hints of it in my outfits (blazer, oxfords, etc.) but only in small ways. Leaving the white shirt untucked keeps it looking casual, and the cheetah print mules keep it more whimsical and less serious. You could tuck in the shirt and wear trousers for a dressier look.

Outfit #3: Unbuttoned as Top Layer over a Shirt with Jeans and Sneakers

Shirt (similar) | Turtleneck | Earrings | Jeans | Sneakers

This look is very casual and gives all the mom vibes. I like this outfit with white sneakers, but you could swap them for boots to make it feel less casual and more put together. Mules or flats would also evaluate this look a bit. I like the open shirt with the shirt underneath tucked in, highlighting the high-waisted denim.

Outfit #4: Buttoned Up all the way with a Sweater Blazer, Jeans, and Loafers

Shirt (similar) | Sweater Blazer (old from J.Crew – similar) | Earrings | Jeans (I sized down one size) | Shoes (old from Zara – similar)

I love a button down shirt fully buttoned up! Here I left it untucked, but it could also be front tucked or fully tucked it to make this outfit look more put together and less casual. I went with cognac loafers but I think black shoes would work well too! I like the leopard print sweater blazer for added visual interest, but a regular sweater blazer, blazer, or cardigan sweater would also work as the top layer in this outfit combination. Any color or print will work on the top layer, as the base layer is all neutral.

Outfit #5: Fully tucked in with Jeans and Flats

Shirt (similar) | Jeans (mine are an older wash, also 100% cotton and I sized up one size) | Earrings | Flats

This is a super simple look with the white button down shirt fully tucked into these vintage-like jeans. Again, pretty much any shoes will work. I opted for some snake print flats to add a bit of whimsey. Despite owning a lot of basics and neutrals, I personally need to have fun pieces too add more visual interest and keep my outfits fun.
