#3. Throw on a blazer

The chicness of a blazer complemented with the classic aura of a button-down shirt is a match made in fashion heaven. There’s something so right about this look as it’s neither too dressy nor too casual. While you can totally slay the two alone, you can also slip into pants or a skirt for a more conservative look.

#4. Wear as a dress

If you’re feeling too lazy to pair this outfit with anything, or you’re looking for a great excuse to flaunt your killer legs, then wear your shirt alone. However, do ensure you play up the look with accessories as you don’t want to come off looking too simple (boring *coughs*). Whether that’s a hat, stacks of jewelry, or maybe a scarf, be sure to put accessories to good use.

#5. Layer with leather

I’m all for layering, especially in the Fall season. Use your classic button-down shirt as the building base for your layered look. While many stylistas opt for a white shirt base layer, any color will work just fine. You can bring an edge to your layered look by incorporating leather into the ensemble. Classic + edgy = time to steal the show!
