It's a wardrobe staple that you surely own, but have you really taken advantage of its versatility? Believe it or not, a standard white button-down shirt is much more than your go-to top for the office. It can even work for a formal affair. 

TODAY contributor Jill Martin shows us three very different ways to rock this classic all throughout the holiday season (and beyond!). 

Wear it to work:

  • Pair your button-down with a black pencil skirt
  • Pop the collar over a printed blazer
  • Carry a roomy work tote to keep all of your belongings organized

Wear it to a formal affair:

  • Tuck your white button-down shirt into a floor-length, sequin skirt
  • Roll-up the sleeves to about three-quarters of the way
  • Incorporate a few bold accessories, like statement earrings

Wear it to go holiday shopping:

  • Top your white button-down shirt with a bright sweater
  • Wear your favorite pair of jeans (a lighter wash works better if you pick a blue sweater)
  • Add a fun, floppy hat for extra flair!
