The button down blouse has been around for years and it is not going anywhere soon.  I’ll admit that a blouse in my wardrobe is like a feast or famine.  I’m either wearing it non-stop or it’s sitting on the sidelines.  And when I’m wearing it, it’s a workhorse in my wardrobe.  A classic blouse is versatile, timeless, and sophisticated. The hard part is sometime figuring out how to style a button down shirt.

 

I’ve strictly been a button down to work type of gal, but I slowly let the button down slip into my casual life and I’m loving it.  I fully embraced it on our recent trip to Disney World.  I realized how incredibly versatile it was.  It’s the ultimate layering piece or can be worn alone.  If worn alone you can cuff the sleeves or wear them long.  You can wear it tucked, untucked or half tucked, there are truly so many options. How to style a button down shirt is almost as important as the shirt itself. There is one button down that I’ve been loving lately. 

 

The Lagarde Blouse 

My favorite workwear brand, M.M.LaFleur, has recently released an amazing traditional blouse, it’s the Lagarde Blouse.  Not only is it a classic blouse, but it’s completely updated to be the blouse of 2021.  The key features of the top include:

  • Concealed buttons that make for a polished looked
  • Color options that will never go out of style
  • Bust friendly fit that doesn’t pull
  • Machine washable!!!
  • Perfect length, ideal for tucking in or wearing untucked

Weekend Looks 

While wearing a button down blouse on the weekend is a more mature look it is also a great staple to have in your wardrobe.  Nothing is better than a button down and a pair of jeans.  I love playing around with denim styles to create the perfect look.
