People have been wearing button-up shirts for ages; men, women, children and even grandparents wear them. They have become a staple to any wardrobe. But, as with anything that has no unique character, the plain button-up shirt can become boring. Here is a Fashionista who has shown that basic can be twisted into, well, vintage.
The vintage style is a trend has developed into an entire niche of fashion. People love the idea of wearing clothes from their grandparents (thank you, Macklemore), and the button-up has become a necessity to that type of wardrobe.
To add some vintage flare, the button-up is tied in the front with high-waisted pants creating flawless definition to the Fashionista’s waist. By having the shirt tied instead of just falling to the side, she has spiced up her outfit while also giving a nod to the women who rocked the button-up and high-waisted pants decades before her. She finishes the outfit with a great pair of wedges that elongates her legs and make them look a mile long. She also keeps everything else simple with no jewelry and understated makeup; this truly emphasizes the crisp, clean feel of the outfit. This outfit is great to wear to almost any occasion because it shows off a sense of style while also keeping everything simple. This Fashionista has found the perfect blend between modern and vintage to accentuate her body while also being comfortable and fashionable.
Vintage can be a hard area of fashion to maneuver in, but as seen here, it can be done effortlessly with a basic button-up and high-waisted pants. Adding wedges to an outfit also never fails to make it retro. To take this one step further, add a hairband or a cloth bandanna around your head, and you’ve basically transformed into Rosie the Riveter.
