Style How-To: The Button Up

Fashion | 10 January 2012

by

Button-ups are coming back in a big way and we’re loving it. Whether they are bright, plain, printed, or vintage-inspired, we love them all. Plus, they are the perfect key piece for a fall to spring transition. Check out these awesome outfits, the inspiration behind them, and get some great tips for how to wear our fav button-ups!
 
 
 
Transition into Spring with a Miami Vice twist. Keep your sky-high booties and bright jeans, but pair with a neutral blazer and a pastel digi image buttoned to the top for that extra clean look. It’s sophisticated and fun, and would make the perfect day-to-night by just ditching the blazer and adding the perfect muted moto jacket with it.

Double up your button-ups with this sweet, cutesy number. This beautiful bird print is super adorable, plus super hot for spring. Since the skirt was button-up as well (see what we did there?), we paired it with a pussy-bow blouse that had a covered placket, so it wouldn’t be too overwhelming. We broke the skirt and shirt up with a skinny belt, and topped it with some buckled booties and socks to tie in the sweetness of this outfit.

The final look we put together was a classic color block look, inspired by some of our favorite street fashion, with a side of edgy chic. We can’t get enough of cobalt nor wide leg pants, so we paired them with one of our favorite, and most minimalistic, button down. We added splashes of saturated pinks with the shoes and the belt and topped the whole thing off with circular sunnies, a current obsession of ours.
