You know those mornings when you're either running late or in a style rut and unsure what to wear? As a mom of two, I have had my fair share of these days. When I encounter them, I have found that there is one wardrobe essential I can reach for that offers a stylish solution: a blue button-down shirt. The classic piece is incredibly easy to style in a pinch.
To give the blue button-down an effortless feel, I usually pair it with jeans and a chic shoe style like boots, sneakers, or flats. To help you get inspired, I rounded up nine standout ideas that use the same outfit formula. Keep scrolling to peruse and shop each look. You can thank me later.
