Following the popularity of the shacket and the recent more relaxed denim trend, the classic button down has been updated in a very oversized way. They look chic and effortless worn over leggings or jeans, but also can be belted to show off your waistline. An oversized button down is versatile and can be worn anytime of the year, depending on what bottom you pair it with. Great for work zoom calls and for layering too. Come summertime, pair one over a swimsuit as a sophisticated cover-up.
While always looking fresh in crisp white, oversized button downs also look of-the-moment in pastels, denim, stripes and florals. For us petite BA50’s, consider ordering a size down for a less voluminous fit, or buy in petite sizing. Read on for my Top 10 oversized button downs to update this closet essential.
