Spring Capsule Wardrobe Part One: Styling a White Button-down 4 Ways
Four easy looks. One closet staple.
If you're building a spring capsule wardrobe, start here: the white button-down. It’s timeless, low-effort, and honestly, it just works with everything. Whether you're juggling kids, calendars, or coffee runs, this is the piece that pulls it all together.
We’re kicking off Part One of the Spring Capsule series with four outfits that prove a single shirt can stretch way further than you think. (Yes, even when you're running on dry shampoo and drive-thru breakfast.)
Here’s how I’m styling it this season:
Here’s a quick breakdown of how I’m wearing the white button-down this season. Simple, wearable outfits that make getting dressed easier.
1. Paired with Sweater and Jeans
White button-down + soft knit + light denim
This is your everyday uniform. The button-down peeking out from under a slouchy sweater feels relaxed but intentional. Add in light-wash denim, neutral loafers, and a big woven tote that doubles as your diaper bag/grocery bag/life bag. Easy and put together without trying too hard.
2. Paired with Tank and Linen Pants
White button-down + ribbed tank + linen trousers
Start with a ribbed tank, layer the button-down on top, and finish with wide-leg linen pants. It’s giving beach day, errand day, any day. Pair with Birkenstocks and a straw hat for the full effect. Effortless and breathable—perfect for spring’s in-between weather.
3. Paired with a Dress
White button-down + slip dress + sandals
Toss a button-down over a white slip dress and you're ready in under five minutes. It’s simple, polished, and still comfy enough to chase your toddler through the backyard. Add a wide-brim hat and black flip-flops, and you’ve got an outfit that works from day to dinner.
4. Paired with Striped Tee and Shorts
White button-down + striped tee + white shorts
Layer a striped tee under your button-down, roll up the sleeves, and pair with crisp white shorts. It’s timeless but still fun. Top it off with a baseball cap and comfy slides for a look that says “mom-on-the-go” but make it cute.
And that’s the button-down, doing what it does best. Easy, versatile, no overthinking required. Stay tuned for part two—more outfits (and probably more snacks) coming your way soon.
