I always get compliments for these ones…

Ready to button down?

Over the last few seasons I have developed a whole new appreciation for wardrobe staples.

& Other Stories shirt and skirt, Louis Vuitton bag, The Row shoes

Not only do they save me during those ‘I don’t know what to wear days’ but they also prevent me from over purchasing as I can pretty much create a solid timeless wardrobe from essentials – such as a button down shirt.

Asos shirt, DVF trousers, Fendi bag, Christian Louboutin shoes.

I have borrowed from the husband on numerous occasions – the black shirt above for example – and have mostly chosen the oversized boxy silhouettes a la Old Celine.

Peter Pilotto shirt, Madiyah Al Sharqi trousers, Prada bag and shoes.

Balance the broad shapes with narrower skirts or high waist trousers and experiment with prints and size of sleeves – so many designers have added multiple twists to the classic button down shirts.
