Unless you’re color blind, you’ve probably noticed that colorful button-downs are literally everywhere. We’re not complaining, of course. It totally makes sense that after the dreary days of winter, we’re all up for brightly hued clothing. Along with some scene-stealing makeup.
There are certainly lots of shades to choose from. Neon green and orange, hot pink, various shades of blue and sunny yellows. And that’s just for starters. You also have your choice of fabric. We’re talking spring-friendly materials like cotton, silk and satin.
On the fit front, oversized is the obvious way to go. Most brands seem to think that these vibrant pieces must be on the gargantuan side. Although you can embrace more structured takes. Frankly, it all depends on your outfit. All-enveloping tops make great partners for bike shorts, Bermuda shorts and those micro skirts Miu Miu made popular. If you’ve stocked your closet with baggy jeans, opt for more fitted toppers. Otherwise it’ll look like you’re drowning in fabric.
To tuck or not to tuck? That is yet another question. Sometimes tucking the shirts in can camouflage their outsize silhouettes. So if you’re looking to go big, leave the hem exposed.
Scroll down to see the most stylish colorful button-downs to liven up your spring style strategy.
