12 Button-Up Shirts You Can Share With Your Boyfriend
As I’ve gotten older (a whole 23 years), I’ve found myself drawn to clothing that’s both comfortable and versatile – the kind of pieces I can easily dress up or down. And if you’re anything like me, you’re also a fan of “borrowing” clothes from your boyfriend’s closet.
There’s nothing like effortlessly throwing on a cool, oversized tee and looking messily put-together as you run errands on the weekend. Or that’s the idea anyway. If your partner is anything like mine – bless him – he could use a little guidance in the fashion department. So, my options in his wardrobe are pretty limited.
Thankfully, there’s a classic, adaptable staple that both of us can appreciate: the button-up shirt.
The ultimate androgynous staple piece, the button-up shirt is a tried and true wardrobe hero for men and women alike. In my opinion, there’s nothing A) cooler and B) more comfortable than chucking on an oversized button-up. Whether you’re dressing it up for a date night with kitten heels and a mini skirt or layering it over a bikini and pairing it with your fave denim shorts for an easy festival ‘fit, a button-up shirt is an essential. And it doesn’t stop there. Impromptu dinner and drinks? Beach day? Heading to the office? A good quality button-up can be anything you need it to be. Bonus points if it’s in a funky print or pattern. Even more bonus points if it’s from your boyfriend’s wardrobe.
Plus, with the holidays coming up, now is the perfect time to start thinking about presents to gift him that are secretly presents for you. Think about it: he gets an upgraded new wardrobe and you get some cool pieces to wear any time you want. It’s a win-win.
So, here is a curated list of 12 cool button-up shirts to buy that you can share with your boyfriend. Ladies and gents, thank me later.
