From hot pinks to sweet lilacs and sunny oranges, shop the best button-down shirts for women below. And, if you settle on one with a wrinkle-resistant fabric, they're also great travel companions. And the colors! While the standard white button-down shirt isn't going anywhere, the latest incarnations are bright, bold, and in your face. Like the perfect white tee, the overall vibe of these button-down shirts is easygoing, and the outfit is often made up of pieces you already own (or have seriously considered adding to cart). Others are leaving the bottom half unbuttoned-or opting for cropped silhouettes to wear with everything from miniskirts to flowy trousers.

Some are embracing oversized silhouettes to wear as “blazers,” leaving them entirely unbuttoned to throw over trendy slip dresses, trusty bodysuits, and white tank tops. Cue the humble button-down shirt, which, despite its simplicity and timeless nature, remains remarkably fresh-and we couldn't help but take note of all the ways celebs and cool girls are styling this wardrobe staple. It makes sense, given that most people are basically over shopping for hoodies and comfy sweatpants (or at least, already own their share) but are still looking for relaxed takes on the items that make them feel put together.

Colorful, casual, and effortless-that's what the best button-down shirts for women look like these days.
