TAKE TWO: BOYFRIEND BUTTON DOWN
There's nothing more classic than a button down shirt. What other garment can you wear to both the beach and a boardroom?
It lives in everyone's closet, including both your grandpa's to Matilda Djerf's wardrobe.
Because a button down shirt is so widely available, occupying the racks of both The Row and Old Navy, choosing the right button down is important.
A designer button down, beautifully tailored and promising of value never lost, might be a good investment into adulthood, especially as the younger generation steps foot into the working world. A quality button down should be able to live on and on in your wardrobe.
We're also big advocates of a secondhand button down for many reasons. First of all, a secondhand button down has a lived-in feel because it's been... lived in. Less rigid, less stiff, more airy- it becomes more casual and appropriate to wear for all of your casual occasions. Also, there may be less worry about wearing it for outside experiences. Would we ever wear a Saint Laurent white button down shirt to the beach? No. Do we wear a secondhand button down to the beach? All the time.
Camping, biking around town, post workout over a small little set- we live for wearing pre-loved, oversized button downs in these moments. Pair with loose jeans, kitten heels, or flats; or go pant-less, and add a belt and boots. Wear post-pilates with a great sneaker and headband. The options are endless.
