5 CHIC WAYS TO STYLE A BUTTON-DOWN IN SUMMERTIME

No.1 of 5 chic ways to style a button-down for summer starts with one of my go-to button-down shirts, The Kayla shirt from Citizens of Humanity. This is the ideal button-down thanks to the long length, the cuffed arms, and the unique cut that somehow gives a causal vibe while still defining your silhouette. It’s 100% cotton which makes it very breathable and easy to care for. I wear an XS in and find it fits true to size.

If the Citizens of Humanity shirt above is out of budget, no worries! This shirt from Treasure & Bond is a great budget-friendly option with many similarities to the shirt above. They are both 100% cotton, have a relaxed fit, and are easily adjusted for the perfect style, whether you prefer a front tuck or a front tie. I wear an XS in this versatile summer staple that’s 40% off making it well under $50!

Next in this fabulous summer look, we’ve got my latest ivory denim find from Frame! I love the relaxed fit and the white wash is perfect for summer. They are slightly wider in the legs which makes the fit incredibly slimming. I wear a size 24 and find they fit true to size.

Of course, I have to talk about these GORGEOUS Simkhai gold slides that are my new favorites! I adore the black & gold color combination and they’re made with high-quality leather that will last years in your wardrobe! They also have a square toe, which is a style that’s working its way back to the top, so you’ll be right on trend with these beauties.

Look No.2 on my list of 5 chic ways to style a button-down for summer features the same Citizens of Humanity shirt but in white! A white button-down is so versatile, it’s a wardrobe staple every woman needs in her closet and this particular one will last forever due to the high-quality material. I wear an XS and find it fits true to size.

If you’re in the market for a more budget-friendly option, I highly recommend this shirt from Treasure & Bond. Once again, these shirts are crazy similar with 100% cotton material and a relaxed fit. The biggest difference is the price, and since this one is 40% off it’s priced well below $50! I wear an XS and find it fits true to size.

This look features the same Citizens of Humanity white button-down from look 2, but this time I styled it with these fabulous Mother jeans. These are ideal for summer because the ankle-length will help keep you a bit cooler and they’re perfect for showing off a fabulous pair of heels. I wear a size 24 in these super flattering jeans and they fit true to size.

This fabulous maxi dress from Revolve is the hero item of this effortless summer look! It hugs all my curves and shows off my silhouette, but the longer length makes it feel classy and elegant. I styled it with a white button-down tied at the waist to give the look some balance and to give some coverage from the sun as well.I’m wearing an XS, and it fits true to size.

This is a summer staple I cannot live without! Fashionable and functional, this straw fedora has a wide brim to protect you from the sun and the studded leather band detail takes it to the next level. This hat has been one of my must-have summer essentials for years and it has certainly stood the test of time. With high-quality craftsmanship and a price point of around $60, you can’t go wrong!

Last but not least on my list of 5 chic ways to style a button-down for summer is to pair it with a fabulous pair of denim shorts. These are from Pistola and my favorite aspect is that the legs are designed a little bit wider, making them super flattering and comfortable and there’s no need to size up for the perfect fit. I love the edgy distressing and the wash is right on point. I wear a size 24 and they fit true to size.
