The Classic White Top
The classic white top. There doesn’t have to be anything basic about it. A white top is your closet staple and can take you anywhere from work to play. Having a classic white top can save you tons of time when you are figuring out what to wear. It’s an easy way to look polished yet effortless and be out the door in o time.
Classic White Top
A classic button-down will work with jeans, a skirt, or any color of pants you can think of! It can be dressed up or down. It really is the easiest outfit to wear. It’s no wonder it is a French girl staple. Worn under a colorful blazer is always a chic idea. The options are endless. I love to pair a short sleeve white button down with midi skirts in the Spring. Poplin or cotton blends are always a good choice too.
Since I do love details in my clothes, I made it my mission to find a not-so-basic white shirt. As soon as I saw this top from & Other Stories (similar style here), I jumped on it. I was immediately attracted to the eyelet detail on the sleeves. The front tie also adds just the right amount of texture. This is quickly becoming a go-to store for me. Their prices are reasonable and they always have a smart selection of styles available. But no matter where you shop, look for small details that take the basic white top and make it unique.
Outfit Details
I paired this white top with my Veronica Beard flare jeans (similar style here) which I am loving right now. It’s such a classic look that suits any style. I chose to wear white lace-up boots since I am still going strong with the white boot trend. Plus I love the balance the light color creates when contrasted with dark jeans.
What look would be complete without the perfect bag? I kept with the neutral theme and chose to use my new Chloe C bag in the shade called Nut. I love the faux croc which again adds that small but impactful detail that I love. Faux crocodile is another big trend to follow this year! What’s great about a classic white top though is that any color bag would look great. It’s a great opportunity to try the neon trend if you are bold!
