5 Days, 5 Ways: How to Style a White Shirt, the Fashion-Girl Way

There are no boring ways to wear a button-up (as proven by the five big-time fashion stars below).
The white shirt in general is pretty underrated. Sure, most borrowed-from-the-boys blouses look the same, but style them unexpectedly and you're looking at a major street style moment.
Take Victoria Beckham, for example. The Spice Girl-turned-designer tucked her shirt into an elegant pleated skirt, rolled up the sleeves then completed the outfit with a slouchy white handbag and ankle strap heels. If this uber-feminine ensemble is your kind of look, pop the collar on your shirt and really scrunch up the fabric on your arms.

Olivia Palermo 's high-fashion back-to-school style has us wishing fall would come faster! The style tip here? Wear your button-down shirt under a light sweater and don't forget to pull the hem down (so it's showing) as well as keep your collar out. It's a sweet ensemble for really any occasion—ostrich feather-embellished denim is optional. Unless you have $2,000 to spend on them.

Another way celebs are wearing the shirt is tied at the waist. Over an adorably flirty dress, it accentuates your waist while making the overall number a more casual one. It's the perfect outfit to stroll through the city in à la Daisy Lowe.

Debatably our favorite unexpected way to style the long sleeve is to slip it underneath a bralette—model Soo Joo Park's velvet one is insanely on-trend for fall. And don't forget to keep it sloppy underneath! Let the tight top do all the work in terms of keeping everything put.

If you're looking for more of a no-brainer tip, model Karolina Kurkova's super cool yet incredibly simple way of dressing is an easy one to adopt. Keep your shirt untucked and baggy (go for something oversized as opposed to fitted) and that's really all you need to know.
