Button down shirts are what t-shirts were in the 90’s. As our styles have evolved so have our dressing preferences. Most trends in this decade are leaning toward minimalism and therefore bringing the button downs back in the wardrobe. These wardrobe staples are no longer limited to uptight corporate rooms but now are a go to for the woman of today who likes it dressy, fun and yet comfortable.
I have a confession… I feel “fat” 26 days of the month. Button downs are my goto clothing staple that I can throw on my jeans, leggings, trousers or palazzos that are so comfortably stylish! A button down shirt is my balm which makes me feel confident & great every-time I wear it.
When in doubt, button it out! I had to say it, since it rhymes :). Jokes aside, trust me it works like a charm every time! Five more reasons why I think you should add more button downs to your wardrobe
It is stylish: We all want to look effortlessly stylish (Outside of special occasions ;)). The button down shirt is your answer. It is that piece of clothing that is classic and that will never go out of style. What is even better is that you can customize it to your personal style by choosing your own prints that works with your personality. Choose some fun prints from here : www.poppyandco.in
Body-type agnostic: Let's get real about our body, not all of us can be Jennifer Anistons. But can we be as chic as her? Why not? Have you seen Deepika Padukone rocking that button down shirt in many of her airport looks or Megan Markle rocking it during a Wimbledon final? The need for a button down shirt might have started from the boardroom but fashion & style have taken it places! The only corporate feeling you will get from wearing one is that of control- on how you look and how you feel!
It makes you feel good: Clothes are an emotional purchase. Think about all the favourite pieces of clothing in your wardrobe and why do you like them? Because they make you feel good. It is that simple. For me a button down shirt is honestly, that one most feel-good piece of clothing in my wardrobe. The cherry on top are the prints!
Your own 9-5: As a “young” woman in my late thirties, I am wearing way too many hats and juggling too many things at any given time. I am not complaining, and I wouldn’t like it any other way:). But I am also one of those that dont want to spend hours in front of the mirror looking good. I need something that I can put together in 5 minutes but should look like I have put time, effort and money on it :). Thats why the range of poppyandco.in works perfectly for my lifestyle. I can- zip to meetings, to catch ups, to casual drinks in a single day without looking underdressed :)!
It goes with everything: Talk about being super versatile! You can team it with pants, shirts, jeans, leggings, palazzos! I mean if you don't call this magic then what would you?! You can tuck it in to make it look formal and tuck out to keep it casual. Its a vibe. And works with you how you want it to :).
I am sure you have never looked at a button down with this much seriousness. Take my advice and experiment with one. It will change they way you dress up! Also the Poppyandco shirts have been engineered to make sure that the pesky boob gap is not a problem. Try it one and if you don't like then there is a ‘no question asked’ return policy :).
