The Button Down Edit
Button-downs are one of those pieces I reach for year-round, but lately I’ve been loving them worn a little differently. An oversized button-down left open with a shorter denim or poplin short feels effortless, flattering, and very 80s/90s in the best way. If you haven’t tried styling yours this way yet, consider this your sign. Here are a few favorites I’ve been wearing on repeat.
Polo Ralph Lauren button downs are the definition of a forever piece. The oversized fit makes it perfect worn open over shorts, and the subtle red pony adds just enough personality without taking away from how classic it feels.
This Quince linen button-down is such a good under-$60 find. The length gives you that effortless oversized look when worn open over shorts, and the lightweight linen only gets better the more you wear it.
Faithfull always gets prints right, and this one is no exception. For the days when a classic white button-down feels a little too predictable, the retro-inspired pattern does all the work and makes even the simplest outfit feel intentional. There's also a matching short if you love a set moment, and I'd recommend sizing up for the perfect fit.
Toteme somehow makes even the simplest pieces feel elevated, and this silk button-down is no exception. The neutral color palette goes with everything, while the oversized fit and subtle pattern make it feel a little more special than your everyday button-down.
Another great everyday option, especially if you're looking for something beyond a classic white button-down. It comes in several colors, and you can use code COCOINCASHMERE15 if you're adding one to your cart.
A great button-down is simple, easy, and endlessly wearable. Whether you keep it classic or go for a fun print, these are the ones I'll be reaching for all summer long.
