Everyday New Look

The Brown Check Shirt Blog.

A Brown button-down shirt is the pinnacle of easy, understated, and stylish dressing. It is age-appropriate and ought to be a foundational item in any woman's wardrobe.

The many women I consult as a stylist share with me their opinions that this timeless piece can yet occasionally feel a little too stiff and conjure up memories of wearing a school uniform. It can also resemble looking for that elusive pair of great jeans—you know the kind—the ones you try on a lot but never seem to locate! It took me years to change the way I thought about the brown shirt because I always felt like I was wearing the same thing when I wore it. But then I realised why: I wasn't finding the right fashion for me!

Finding a shirt or blouse that fits your particular style, the image you want to project, and the look you want to style is the answer. Consequently, you might up up owning several for various events, but that's okay because these are timeless pieces that you will wear repeatedly. For example, a tailored shirt could be too professional for the casual, easy image you're going for with denim jeans on the weekend, but it would look great with a pencil skirt or cigarette-style pants at the office.
