Even if you’re not escaping on the ultimate nautical getaway this season, try bringing the look of white military buttons into your wardrobe. Whether your day involves meetings at the office or simply soaking up the sun’s rays in the great outdoors, try embracing this runway trend now. This season, draw your inspiration from the catwalks and accessorize your favourite ensembles with striking buttons. Here’s how to flawlessly adopt the look for business, play and party time.

Casual Chic

If you’re enjoying brunch on a rooftop patio, draw your inspiration from the Edun runway and stun in a mustard-coloured top decorated with stark white buttons. The look of an off-the-shoulder neckline, contrasting stitched detail and strategically placed buttons can wrap up your style. Meanwhile, try accessorizing with flowing dark trousers with white stripes and a pair of funky open-toe shoes.

Work Wear

This season, keep up your sophisticated corporate fashion in a black oversized blazer decorated with snowy white buttons (as seen at Céline). For a cool finishing touch, style your bold military inspired topper with a silky ivory blouse adorned with black lace. Add a pair of loose ivory trousers, black and white leather shoes and a black leather handbag for a flawless finishing touch.

Evening

For the after hours, try swapping your classic little black dress for a navy and white sailor inspired frock (as spotted at Mugler). The look of a dainty off-shoulder neckline and bold white buttons along the side help to complete the design, while a flirty short hem keeps the look playful. Try slipping into a pair of navy blue loafers and adding funky disc earrings for a true party-ready vibe.
