White button-down and jeans

This wardrobe staple stands the test of time because it's both timeless and classic. Each piece is a volume piece, meaning it can be worn in combination with a variety of clothing. Separate or together, a white button-down and a good pair of jeans are worth the investment.
The crisp contrast in color and fit contributes to the classic look of this outfit. Because white and denim are both neutrals, pairing brown or black shoes is an option. Wear this combination all year long by adjusting footwear and adding layers to reflect the season.

Casual
Brown generally translates a more casual vibe. A classic blue or light wash jean and brown leather belt create this effect. Select a pair of jeans that is distressed and a white button-down that is effortless in fit to complete the look.
Chic
To elevate this outfit, select a structured white button-down with a firm silhouette. Choose a dark wash denim that has little to no distressing. Add a pair of black booties or heels and either a thin black belt or none, finishing the look with a clean tuck.
Cold
In the colder months, add a peacoat or blazer for warmth. Booties can be switched out for a tall boot that fits seamlessly over jeans.
Warm
When it's warmer, roll both the sleeves and jean hem to lessen coverage. Select a thin, cotton button-down for a breezy feel. Try this look with a pair of denim shorts and sandals as well.
