Katie | Styling A White Button-Up Shirt With Denim
Think a white button-up is too stiff or classic for your style? Let’s change that. I love taking an oversized white button-down and giving it a relaxed, modern feel. Here, I paired it with barrel leg jeans for an effortless, laid-back vibe. I then added a metallic woven flat for just the right amount of polish. Gold accessories keep it chic, while a fun green tote adds that perfect pop of spring color. This look proves that a white button-up doesn’t have to feel ‘buttoned-up’… It can be cool, easy, and completely your own!

Sometimes, the best outfits are the simplest ones. A classic white button-up paired with light-wash straight-leg jeans is an effortlessly polished combination that always works. I love adding a black horsebit mule for a timeless touch and finishing the look with a structured black tote and a gold bracelet stack for just the right amount of elegance. It’s the perfect balance of relaxed and refined—easy to throw on, but always put-together.

Katey | How To Layer A button-Up Over a Dress
Sure, a denim jacket over a summer dress is an easy solution for when you want to cover your shoulders and add a layer. And that’s a great option, but denim jackets can sometimes be too heavy of a layer. I love pairing a button down blouse over the top of a maxi dress like this one in the summer. Style tip: pop that collar, roll the sleeves, leave the shirt unbuttoned, and tie at your natural waist. Don’t forget to tuck the back under, and you’ll be effortlessly styled!

Katie | An Effortless Look With A White Button-White Shirt
A white button-up doesn’t have to feel stiff or overly polished. It can also be the perfect base for an effortless, warm-weather look. I love pairing it with high-waisted tan linen pants for a relaxed yet refined vibe. The brown suede belt and gold details add just the right amount of structure… While gold strappy sandals and a raffia tote bring in that easy, breezy feel. With a few simple accessories like a gold hair clip and tortoise sunglasses, this look is classic, chic, and perfect for spring and summer.

Katey | Styling A Bolder White Button-Up Shirt
Pairing a white blouse with bold print pants is nothing new. But, choosing a statement blouse will take your look to the next level. The key to styling this look is to keep the accessories simple and let the bow tie neck and the bold pant be the focus. Top a sweater vest over the top and let the bow stand out to really make a statement.

Katey | Styling A White Button-Up Shirt For A Formal Event
Don’t rule out wearing a white blouse to a formal event! One of my favorite looks is a stiff, chic white blouse paired with a formal taffeta skirt. The key is to choose a fitted blouse that is starched perfectly. This version is absolutely stunning with the popped collar – it’s splurge worthy!
