A white button down top is one of the best staples to have in your closet. It’s a piece that will make dressing up a bit more easier, especially on those days when you may not be in the mood to figure out what to wear. I love wearing a button up with a pair of jeans for that model off duty look or a pair of trousers and slacks for a twist on a professional attire (like I have here). But it can seriously work with almost any look.  Below I’m sharing the best white button down tops I’ve seen and the different variety, from classic to more unique styles.

Traditional

Everyone needs a traditional white button shirt in their closet. Especially if you work in a more corporate setting. But you’ll also find that having this top can be reworked for non professional purposes and can easily help elevate a look.

Oversized

I absolutely love oversized white button down tops. It’s such a versatile piece because it can be worn with another item, or by itself. It can be worn closed, open, or halfway like this photo here. This is also a piece that can be reworked and transformed into a completely different top, because there is so much wiggle room.

Cropped

Like I am wearing here, a cropped white button down is definitely the move for the Spring/Summer. It’s one of those pieces that I find myself grabbing more often than not because of how it easy it is to put a full look together with it. I also shared a YouTube video with some styling inspo with this exact top!

Embellished

Any top that has some sort of embellishment action going on always catches my attention. I love when a white button down features pearls as buttons or random jewels along the pocket line or on the sleeve cuffs. It’s a subtle way to add a bit more character to this piece and is perfect for those who like a little extra pizazz and/or a more voluminous look.
