When it comes to basics, there are a handful of items that no wardrobe can be called complete without. A white cotton tee, black trousers, blue jeans that fit just right are a few standouts. But of all the essentials out there, none are as important right now as an oversize button-down shirt. Superior for its low-key, yet elevated aesthetic, oversize button-downs are, without a doubt, the basic of the year. And with summer coming up, we’ll soon be seeing them everywhere.
One of the many fashion girls—great style is but one of her countless stellar attributes—seen recently in the casual-cool basic is Jennifer Lopez, who spent Mother’s Day draped in a slightly unbuttoned button-down shirt, tucked into a white cotton maxi skirt secured with an Hermès belt. With the summery ensemble, she added a fringe cardigan, her go-to Max Mara sunglasses, and an Hermès Birkin bag. But while we’re all for her mode of styling a simple Oxford, there are also plenty of other methods of wearing the anti-trend piece.
