10 Button-Up Shirt Outfits

The easiest outfits to pull together consist of a good button-up shirt. They are comfortable yet effortlessly casual at the same time. Button-up shirts are so versatile that you can wear them not only with jeans, but with shorts, skirts, and pants. You can even wear them over a dress by knotting it in the front! This is the easiest outfit you can style in a matter of minutes. They also come in such a wide variety of colors, prints, and fabrics. Some suit a more minimal aesthetic with their plain styles, while others are maximum overload! It’s one piece of clothing that everyone should have in their closet!

A button-up shirt and a pair of jeans is always my go-to casual look. When you don’t know what to wear, this is a great option. By changing up your shoes, it can accommodate so many different occasions. Style them with heels for a night out, or ballet flats for a daytime outing. Today I’m sharing 10 different button-up shirt outfits so you always have something to wear.

10 Button-Up Shirt Outfits

Classic Short Sleeve Button-up Shirt and Flats

Take a classic short-sleeve shirt like this pink one, and pair it with jeans for a laid-back city vibe. It’s a laid-back, polished look that works just about anywhere. I love the light summer weight o this pink shirt which I’ve paired with my ivory jeans and woven flats. You can keep it casual for daytime with flats, or dress it up a bit with a block heel and a great bag.

 

Button-Up Shirt with Shorts

Easy spring and summer style! Knot your button-up shirt and roll up the sleeves so that it has an effortless and easy vibe. Pairing a button-up shirt with shorts, whether you knot it or tuck it, is a great way to look polished while staying cool. Just roll the sleeves down if you get chilly. I love white shorts and neutral color shorts for warmer weather. They go with everything and are so easy to style. This Sezane Pierro shirt is nice and light. Great for warmer weather!

Striped Button Up Shirt

The vertical stripes in this shirt make this classic spring look a great spring to summer transition outfit. Pair with my favorite white jeans for spring, and linen pants for summer. I love having neutral accessories to tie every look together. This canvas and leather tote makes the look more casual and easy!

 

Style With a Skirt

When the weather is a little cool, pairing a button up shirt with a midi skirt is an easy outfit choice. You can dress up this outfit with heels, or keep it more casual with flats or sneakers! This is spring style perfection! I love a lace or eyelet button up for dressier occasions. Plus it adds a feminine touch. Choosing pattern like eyelet, or a print adds details to a simple slip skirt- this is my favorite slip skirt style.

For fall and winter, just choose darker colors to keep the look seasonal. Here are some more beautiful skirts that pair effortlessly with button-ups.

 

Keep It Cool with a Mini Skirt

Roll your sleeves up when the weather gets nicer and pair your button up shirt with a mini skirt. This is such a casual cool look. You can wear a short sleeve button up or a long sleeve button up, both options work here. Even an oversized button up works great with a mini! Wearing a cotton or linen shirt gives a more effortless vibe to this outfit. Not trying hard at all! 😉

I like to pair flat or low heel sandals like these (take 20% off with THEFASHIONHOUSEMOM) when wearing mini skirts. It keeps the outfit proportions in check and perfect for day time! This skirt here is the current version of the one I’m wearing. Love the print! And here is a similar striped shirt.

Button Up Shirt Outfits with Jeans

A button-up shirt and jeans is the easiest outfit to choose when you’re not sure what to wear. This is my go-to casual look. I’ll generally choose to wear white jeans in spring, and darker denim in fall to pair with a button up shirt. This pair of white jeans is my favorite since the amount of stretch is low, so they don’t conform to every line and curve. They just look like a nice, polished pair of jeans!

I like to do a quick half tuck to keep the look casual and effortless. For daytime looks, wear classic ballet flats or block heel sandals, and for night, swap some heels. You can do so much with this simple outfit. Add some fun jewelry to make the look more interesting.

These are my most worn denim styles:

Button Up Shirt with Linen Pants

Wear your button up shirt with linen pants for spring to summer style. For extra nautical vibes try wearing a white button up shirt with striped linen pants! This shirt is by the women led company Lady Captain and has a slightly oversized fit. I’m wearing size XS. The pants fit true to size.

 

Button-Up Shirts with Flowers

Florals are always a great way to brighten up your face. Wearing floral shirts means you can keep your accessories minimal, since the top already has all the details you need. Just choose a color palette that suits you.

 

Button-up Shirt with Corduroy Pants

Corduroy is so soft and warm in the fall and winter. These are the seasons I gravitate towards cords. Style this button-up shirt outfit just like you would jeans. Just keep the color family complimentary. And add your favorite shoe style!

 

Light Pink Button Up Shirt- Wear it Knotted

Pink shirts are fun to style. I do believe there is a shade of pink for everyone. From pale pink to bright rose, the span of pinks is incredible. To keep the look casual, try wearing it knotted for a slightly sporty vibe.

At the end of the day, a good button-up shirt is just one of those pieces that makes getting dressed easier. Whether you’re in the mood for jeans, a skirt, or something a little unexpected, it just always works. You can dress it up, keep it casual, wear it year-round, and never feel like you’re trying too hard. I hope these button-up shirt outfit ideas gave you a few new ways to wear yours and made your next “what do I wear?” moment a little easier.
