One Piece, Three Ways

Make the most out of your favourite fashion pieces!

A button-down shirt is one of those forever staples that you'll never regret having in your closet. It makes any outfit feel a little more put-together. It's also a great transitional piece for your wardrobe when the seasons start to change. We love this blue striped button-down in cotton poplin—it's lightweight and a great layering piece. Here's how we're styling it:

LOOK 1

Add a little femininity to a traditionally masculine shirt with a skirt and some ruffles. Giant scrunchies are an easy way to add some personality to your look while keeping things clean. A mule or clog adds enough juxtaposition so this outfit doesn't feel overly costumey.

Look 2

Make running errands look effortlessly cool with brown accessories, a scarf to tie around your hair (or purse!), and dark wash denim. Still to hot for full length pants? Swap Bermuda shorts in without having to change anything else.

Look 3

Capris are the pant of fall, and pairing them with a button-down shirt creates a classic look with a fashion-forward edge. Add some fun accessories, like sculptural earrings and modern shoes, to make this outfit a standout.
