How to Style a Button-Down Shirt for Fall

Here are several suggestions on ways to style a button-down shirt for fall:

1. Tucked In with a Belt: Tuck your button-down into jeans or trousers and add a belt for a polished, waist-defining look.
2. Layered Under a Sweater: Wear the shirt under a crewneck sweater or sweater vest with the collar and cuffs peeking out for a preppy vibe.
3. Open Over a T-Shirt: Wear your button-down shirt unbuttoned over a basic tee for a casual, laid-back look.
4. Tied at the Waist: Knot the ends of the shirt at your waist for a playful, relaxed style.
5. Half-Tucked: Tuck in the front of the shirt while leaving the back untucked for a modern, effortless look.
6. Under a Blazer: Wear it under a blazer for a polished, office-ready outfit.
7. Rolled-Up Sleeves: Roll up the sleeves for a more relaxed, casual feel, perfect for layering with a vest or jacket.

These options make the button-down shirt a versatile piece that can be styled for a variety of occasions!

Non-Iron Perfect Shirt

This long sleeve button-down shirt from Talbots is aptly named—it’s perfect! The non-iron fabric keeps you looking sharp all day without any fuss, and the crisp blue stripes add just the right amount of preppy charm. It’s versatile enough to be worn as a dress shirt with a blazer or skirt, or casually by layering it under a sweater or cardigan. Plus, it holds its shape beautifully, making it a true wardrobe staple for fall. You can find more non-iron perfect shirts here.

For a casual event, try rolling up the cuffs and layering your button-down shirt with a puffer vest or sweater jacket. This gives you a relaxed, yet put-together vibe.

Reversible Sherpa Vest For Versatility

For a day out in the crisp fall air, the Reversible Sherpa Puffer Vest is your best friend. I love that this vest gives you two looks in one—one side is cozy sherpa, and the other is a sleek puffer. This is perfect for a fall hike or an afternoon at a pumpkin patch.

I’ve styled the same jeans with each look. The Barely Boot Jeans have the perfect slight bootcut that’s flattering on just about everyone. They’re comfortable and stretchy enough to move with you, but they hold their shape throughout the day. I love the dark wash for fall—it’s easy to dress up or down, and it goes with everything.

The Kendall Leather Tote bag, in a coordinating burgundy shade, adds a polished finish to the look, making it a perfect combination of functional and fashionable.

Here is an up-close photo so you can see the texture of the faux sherpa vest. I love how the contrasting burgundy trim of the vest adds visual interest.

Reversed Sherpa Vest For Extra Warmth

Here is the slick side of the Reversible Sherpa Puffer Vest. Once the weather turns cold, wearing the sherpa against your body would be a great way to stay warm and cozy.

Elevated Everyday with a Duster Cardigan

For a more elevated fall look, try layering your button-down shirt with the Double Breasted Duster Cardigan. This outfit is perfect for a dinner out or a casual Friday at the office. The mix of textures—the crisp button-down, cozy sweater vest, and structured cardigan—creates a luxe look that feels just right for fall.

This cardigan is an essential layering piece for fall. It has a classic, polished look thanks to the double-breasted design, and it’s long enough to provide extra warmth. I love it in camel—it’s the perfect neutral to pair with everything from jeans to dresses. Throw it over your button-down for a put-together look that’s ideal for dinner dates or casual Fridays.

Chic and Cozy with a Sweater Vest

If you’re looking to elevate your button-down shirt a little, layering it under a Cable Knit V-Neck Sweater  is a great way to go. This look is polished enough for a casual workday or a lunch date. To make it even more fall-appropriate, I added the Double Breasted Duster Cardigan—which gives you some extra warmth and style. This combination feels chic and cozy all at once.

The cable knit sweater vest is a great addition to any fall wardrobe. It’s soft, cozy, and gives off major fall vibes. The v-neck style is flattering, and the textured knit adds depth to any outfit. I love pairing it with the button-down for a layered look that’s both timeless and trendy.

Layered Look with a Puffer Vest

If you’re heading out for a more outdoorsy day or a casual get-together, this look is for you. Pair your button-down shirt with a Quilted Sweater Puffer Vest to add a little extra warmth without sacrificing style. The camel color of the vest brings out the warm tones of fall, while the Kendall Leopard Leather Tote adds a fun pop of pattern.

This Kendall Leopard Leather Tote is the perfect blend of practical and fun. The leopard print adds a little personality to any outfit, while the roomy interior makes it great for carrying everything you need. Whether you’re heading out for the day or traveling, this tote is stylish and functional.

Here is a close-up of the Quilted Sweater Puffer Vest. The quilted design keeps things interesting, and the camel color makes it a great neutral layering piece. It’s perfect for those slightly chilly days when you want to add warmth without feeling too bundled up. I love how stylish this vest is; whether you’re out for a fall festival or just enjoying the changing leaves.

Casual and Cozy with a Sweater Jacket

This look is perfect for a casual day out—think running errands or a laid-back coffee date. I paired my button-down shirt with a Raglan Sweater Jacket for a fun pattern-mixing look. You can mix patterns together as long as the same color is in both patterns. In this case, the color is blue.

This Raglan Sweater Jacket is ideal for fall. It’s warm enough for chilly mornings but light enough to keep you comfortable throughout the day. The raglan sleeves give it a relaxed feel, but the overall design is structured and polished. It’s the perfect piece for layering over your button-down for a day of errands or a casual outing.
