I'm so excited that menswear-for-women is a major presence in fashion – yet again. We've borrowed a lot of stuff from the boys in the past few fashion seasons. We saw the popularization of the boyfriend blazer, boyfriend sweatshirt, tuxedo jacket, grandpa-style cardigan, the boyfriend jean, oxford shoes, boat shoes and loafers. There's no question that menswear has a huge influence on what we (women) wear. But nothing is more quintessentially masculine than a classic button-down shirt.
Let's face it, a dress shirt is just as important as an LBD in our day-to-day lives – we all have one or two or five in our wardrobes. Here are three stylish ways to incorporate a button down into your wardrobe for any and all occasions.
