Super Casual

It doesn’t take much to look classy, comfortable, and casual. All you need for this look is your trusty white button down shirt and a pair of jeans. If it’s a bit chilly outside, you can add a cardigan on top. For the most casual look, wear some sneakers. To class up this outfit, try wearing high heels! For more information, visit Wit & Delight.

Sweater Weather

Of course, one of the most classic combinations is a white button down shirt  under the sweater of your choice. This creates a smooth, dapper look while also keeping you warm in chilly weather. A short-sleeve sweater creates a unique look, but a long-sleeve sweater that only allows the cuffs of your shirtsleeves to be exposed creates a stunning look.

In the Summer

There’s no need to put away your button down shirts when the summer weather rolls around. If you have a nice, lightweight button down shirt, you can pair it with your favorite pair of denim shorts for a nice warm-weather look. A cropped button down will work well with shorts, but you can also tuck in a longer shirt. For more information, visit Runway Chef.
