STYLING A WHITE BUTTON DOWN
I realized that my closet was missing a key piece. And I mean KEY! A white button down is the ticket to endless outfits, especially if you are aspiring to the coastal grandma aesthetic like I am.
It was a cool morning, but I was sweating while running around the kitchen getting the girls ready for the day. Mornings are for tank tops, in my opinion. As we headed out the door to go to the park I remembered I bought this perfect white button down from Walmart, so I threw it on over my jeans and tank ensemble. Woah! Elevated, cool and effortless!
This particular button down is meant to be oversized, so get your regular size and it will feel roomy. I wore it open in front, but there are so many other creative ways you can style a white button down:
- tie it at the waist;
- diagonal side tuck (like this);
- half tuck in front;
- half tucked in, half out;
- belted at the waist;
- under a sweater or sweater vest.
You probably already have this piece in your closet! I couldn’t believe that I didn’t have one. I’m sure I did back in my attorney days (before having Sidney) but I’m glad I got a new fresh one to style! Check out this fall Shacket post while you’re here!

Roxanne, you look great and Sidney is so cute. I wholeheartedly agree with the essential of a white button-down. Thanks for the reminder to wear the ones I’ve collected over the years.

Stylish mama! I totally agree, since I purchased my white button down in the spring, I”ve used it so many times. I love this combo with the black jeans.

A white button-down shirt is such a timeless classic. I like how you’ve styled it here with the tank and jeans. You’ll wear this piece over and over and over . . . again.

White button downs are such a wardrobe staple! They are perfect for throwing over jeans and a tank top just like you did! I have a small collection of white button downs with some colorful ones thrown in, too! I look for colorful men’s button downs in thrift shops. And I love the diagonal side tuck but I can never make it work on my body!
