Button down shirts for women are great because they can be stylish and professional for work, and made casual and sexy for after work drinks at the bar with friends. This season we’re seeing a new take on button down shirts. We’ve gone beyond stripes, plaid, polka dots, and solid colors to shirts with more structure, more detail, and more feminine touches.
1. Bow Button Down Shirt
Nothing says feminine chic more than a big, structural bow.
H&M ($29.99)
2. Ruffles
Too many ruffles can be a little off-putting, but this Banana Republic shirt has just enough to give it a little extra dose of style.
Banana Republic ($95.00)
3. Puffed Sleeves
This button down is a little more risky, but it you pair it with a solid pencil skirt for work, you could make “weird” a lot more “chic.”
Banana Republic ($110.00)
4. Get Swept up in this wrapped button Down
This sexy wrapped button down is perfect for any age and any style. Dress it down with leggings or dress it up with a skirt. Either way, you’ll distinguish yourself from the million other button downs in the office.
Anthropologie ($325.00)
5. Bustier Blouse
This one piece blouse from H&M turns a regular white button down into a stylish and sassy top perfect for parties, dates, or special occasions.
H&M ($34.99)

When I’m asked to recall the early 2000’s, three things come to mind: 1) Adam Brody, 2) my unfortunate preoccupation with applying way too much sparkly eye shadow, and 3) jean miniskirts. Even to this day I can’t help but be transformed into the past every time I slip on one of my many short denim skirts. If I’m not careful putting together the whole look, it doesn’t take long before I’m staring in the mirror looking at an overaged preppy schoolgirl in desperate need of a makeover. Luckily, wearing a jean miniskirt this fall doesn’t put you behind the times. In fact, this hot ticket item may be the best way to graduate from your typical skinny jean casual look and say hello to the sexier, yet very understated, new you!
