Key Topics Discussed in This
Episode:
Holly breaks down how to style a white shirt in a variety of
ways, ensuring that it’s not just a basic garment but a statement
piece that can be dressed up or down for any occasion.
1. Why a White Button-Down
Shirt is a Must-Have:
o Timeless Appeal: A white button-down shirt is a
classic staple that never goes out of style, making it a valuable
investment piece for any wardrobe.
o Versatility: The white button-down serves as a
neutral base that can be styled in countless ways, allowing you to
create multiple looks with a single item.
o Ageless
Style: It’s a shirt that works for every age group, from
young professionals in their 20's and up.
2. Classic and Casual
Styles for a White Button-Down:
o Tied
at the waist: A simple yet polished look. Pairing a
white button-down with well-fitting jeans (skinny, straight-leg, or
boyfriend) offers a clean, timeless style.
o Layering Over a Tank or T-Shirt, or a 'Shacket':
For a laid-back, breezy vibe, leave it unbuttoned and layer it over
a tank or t-shirt.
o Rock an
oversized fit: A great
way to add a casual touch while still looking chic. Roll up the
sleeves 2-3 times and tuck in just the front for a modern
twist.
3. Dressing It
Up:
o Under a Blazer: Your white button-down coupled
with a fitted blazer creates a polished, professional look that’s
perfect for day or an evening out.
o Pairing with Tailored Trousers: A white shirt with
tailored pants and a heel creates an elegant, sophisticated
silhouette ideal to be the best dressed in the room.
o Accessories are the answer: By adding statement
jewelry, you can transform the shirt by adding any or all of
the following: Chunky necklaces, statement earrings, or layered
bracelets—to create a new look with the same shirt.
4. Creative and Bold
Styling Tips:
o Belt
it: Try something different by adding a bold colored
belt around the smallest part of your waist. Could be a thin or
thick belt.
o Wear
It as a Dress: For longer, tunic-style shirts, unbutton
it all the way down and wear it as a loose, belted dress with
leggings or shorts.
o Under a Sweater: Layering a white button-down
under a sweater adds depth to your outfit while keeping you warm.
The shirt’s collar and cuffs will peek out, creating a
sophisticated layered look.
5. Perfect Fit Tips for a
White Button-Down:
o Check the garment
details!
o Play
with Proportions
o Look for a
substantial fabric that will last
Final Thoughts
No matter how you choose to wear it, the white button-down shirt
is a timeless piece that should be in every woman’s wardrobe.
Holly encourages listeners to try different ways of styling
their white shirt, from buttoning it up all the way for a classic
look to experimenting with knots and layering pieces.
