    Every time I think of a button down shirt this photo of Audrey Hepburn wrapping her bright red check shirt around her tiny frame pops in my head. Seriously, every time. This image to me epitomizes the versatility, chicness, and beauty of the button down shirt. It’s an ingenious way of wearing it, isn’t it? And yet it’s so simple and easy, anyone can do it. 

    That’s the beauty of the button down, it’s classic and timeless and it can be worn in so many different ways, as you can see below…
