Are you looking for some fashion over 40 styling tips? I love sharing easy ways of looking fabulous in your 40s and beyond. Today, I’ll show you how to style a button-down for summer.

1. Base

Start with a base look. Choose something simple like this nude, hip-hugging long tank dress I’m using. Don’t be afraid to show off your curves.

2. Tie it up

Pull on a crisp white button-down shirt. Instead of buttoning the shirt, tie the bottom together twice and rearrange the ends so they sit neatly.

Push or roll up the sleeves to keep cool in the summer heat.

3. Accessorize

Accessorize and finish off the look with some accessories. I chose a blue bag to add a splash of color.

This is the perfect mix of classy and stylish. The clean cuts of the dress and the shirt contrast so nicely with the tie at the waist. How do you style your button-downs? Leave me a comment and let me know.
