Denim Button Down Shirts Are The Best For You

A basic denim button-down shirt is a total wardrobe staple -- it'll never go out of style, and you can wear it in a billion different ways. Okay, maybe a billion is a bit of an exaggeration, but good denim button down shirt are still astonishingly versatile. If you own one of these babies, you can create tons of cute looks around it. Check out some of our recommended looks.

Skirts

Bring in a feminine vibe by pairing a denim button-down shirt with a super-cute, super-girly skirt. For a sophisticated look, slip on a mod pencil skirt. If you want to get a little flirty, try a sequined mini or a ruffled tiered skirt. Heck, you could even throw on a denim skirt for a monochromatic look.

Pants

Okay, maybe you want more coverage on your gams than a skirt provides -- no problem. Why not pair that denim shirt with some denim jeans? If your shirt has a lighter wash, wear jeans with a darker wash for contrast, or vice-versa. If that's just way too much denim for you, sport pants in a contrasting fabric, like corduroy, linen, khaki, cotton or tweed. For a cute, yet casual option, you can always go the leggings route, as long as your shirt is long enough to sufficiently cover your bum.

Color and Patterns

Play off that basic denim wash by incorporating patterns and pops of color in your companion pieces. Wear pants or a skirt with a houndstooth, plaid, checkerboard or striped pattern, or sport a basic black bottom with a pair of fun colored tights. Layer under your denim shirt with a colored tank top, and leave your shirt unbuttoned and tied at the waist. Layer over the shirt with a cutesy cardigan or a sparkly scarf. To cinch in your waist and add shape and curves to a boxy top, wrap a colorful belt around your middle.

Footwear

Cowgirl boots and denim shirts go together like cookies and milk, so why not go for it? Boots look super cool with a pair of tailored pants, and totally precious with a skirt. If that's not your thing, rock an opposite vibe with a pair of kicky, dressy heels or some shiny, colorful ballet flats. For a more laid back preppy vibe, go for penny loafers. To get a little dangerous, pair your button down shirt with high heels.
