How to dress down a button-up for everyday
1. Pair it with casual bottoms. You can do it with linen pants or shorts, jeans, leggings, or any other kind of casual pant. This pairing immediately makes the outfit feel more casual. If you’re doing jeans, any wash works, but try a pair that’s lighter wash, since a darker wash can often feel dressier. A raw hem also contributes to the casual level!
2. Try a sneaker for your shoes. This is one of my go-to shoes to instantly make an outfit more casual. Make sure they’re slim and sleek sneakers, not a clunky running shoe.
3. Add casual accessories. Try a baseball hat and a casual shoulder bag for really easy accessories that make the outfit feel casual.
HOT TIP: When you’re pairing casual and more elevated pieces, throw in a little jewelry and tuck in your shirt or add a belt with your jeans, just as a second elevated item. It helps the pairing make sense!
