If you’re a classic fashion girl with a love of polished neutrals, the Spring 2016 runways have officially revealed the ubiquitous white button-down blouse as a sartorial staple. Whether you’re hoping to transition your wardrobe between the seasons with a crisp office-ready outfit or a cool daytime look, this classic shirt is appropriate for both work and play. Just in time for the long-awaited change in seasons, here’s how to wear this runway trend now.

Casual Chic

For an easily wearable late winter/early spring ensemble, follow the example from the Zac Posen runways and channel the snow-covered sidewalks of the great outdoors. Try pairing a slouchy, loose-fitting white Oxford shirt with a flowing white midi skirt for a timeless monochromatic effect. Look for a skirt with delicate pleats, a high-waisted silhouette and dainty white floral detail to offset out the menswear inspired style of the shirt.

Work Wear

The white blouse is perfectly in its element in the business world, and nobody showcases this office chic style better than Tome. As we head into Spring 2016, recreate the look from the runways in a white bohemian chic top with puffed sleeves and ruffled accents. Wear your blouse with a demure flared black midi skirt for a contrasting effect, and add a pair of silver chandelier earrings for instant glamour.

Evening

For a night out, the traditional white shirt receives an intense makeover with oversized power shoulders and eye-catching architectural detail (as seen at Delpozo). To bring the look into your own wardrobe, try combining an inspired blouse with a dramatic white skirt featuring intricate gold embroidered touches. A nipped-in waistline and voluminous hemline help to balance out the proportions, while the metallic embroidery lends a special touch. Meanwhile, a stunning pair of spiky metallic platform pumps proves that the little details truly matter in accessorizing this season’s must-have blouse.
