9 Cute Ways to Wear a Button-Down Shirt
Did you guys know there is more than one way to wear a plain old button-down shirt? Here we will take a plain button-down shirt (or button-up as some people call it).
Most of us have a shirt just like this, and we probably bought it to go on a job interview or for a new job, and we wear it by buttoning it down and tucking it into our dress pants or skirt. But these types of shirts aren't just for the office, you can wear them in many different ways.
If you know how to fold, tie, and tuck them, you will be able to maximize your usage out of one plain shirt.
1. Regular
I wanted to give you guys an idea of what this dress shirt looks like in its natural state, so this is how we would normally wear it.
2. Tucked untucked
Tuck in the front of it and leave the back of it nice and loose.
3. Pulled out
Tuck in the whole shirt and then pull a small part of it back out all around the shirt. This style works best with high-waisted pants.
4. Front tie
Button up two buttons in the middle of the shirt. Then fold the back of the shirt under.
Tie the two flaps at the front in a double knot.
5. V-neck
With the shirt unbuttoned, take one side and bring it up from underneath your bra. Then take the other side and bring it up, over your bra, and under through the middle.
Tie the two pieces together in a double knot at the front. Then tuck the ends of the ties under the shirt and tuck in the back of the shirt.
This v-shape neckline is very cute and sassy.
6. Off-the-shoulder
Place the shirt off your shoulders and do up one button in the middle.
Take the two flaps and tie them in a double knot. Tuck your bra straps underneath the shirt and do up more buttons if you like.
This look has such a stunning neckline.
7. Cropped
Do up two buttons in the middle and tie a double knot with the two flaps
Fold up the sleeves three times and bring them up over your elbows. Tuck the back of your shirt under and tuck the flaps in to make it loks nice and clean.
This is so trendy and flattering.
8. Back to front
Put the shirt on backwards. Then tie the flaps at the back with a double knot and tuck the flaps underneath to hide them.
Wear this style with a backless bra for an exposed-back look.
The front looks super chic as well.
9. On shoulder, off shoulder
Place one side of the shirt on your shoulder, and the other side off your shoulder. Do up one button in the middle but you don’t want to align the buttons, so the button will be done up one buttonhole up from where it would usually be.
Take the side of the shirt that is on your shoulder and fold the flap over and under the middle of your bra.
Then take the other flap, fold it under and over and over your bra and then tie a double knot with the two flaps and tuck them under. Do up one more button, tuck the back of your shirt under and also tuck in the collare.
This has completely transformed the appearance of the shirt.
