Tips for Styling Printed Button Downs

The sky's the limit when it comes to styling printed button downs, and there really is no right or wrong way to incorporate them into your outfits. The most important thing to remember is that whichever style or pattern you choose should make you feel confident and comfortable.

If you’re just beginning to dabble with bold prints and patterns, here are a few basic guidelines to help get you started.

• If you think it’s too bold to pull off, remember that patterned button-downs come in a wide range of designs, from wild to a bit more subdued (but still being really fun). Try starting out with the checkered Jacquard button down shirt I mentioned above, or something similar. This combination of color and pattern can still add some flair to your wardrobe without pushing you so far out of your comfort zone that you avoid wearing it.
  
  
• In terms of fit, sizing is key. To maintain a sharp look, always be sure your shirt is the right size - not too tight, yet not oversized.
  
  
• When styling bold patterned shirts, try to keep the rest of your outfit pretty plain. Think: solid color pants and nothing too wild when it comes to your shoes.
