Don't get me wrong, I'm still Team Baby Tee when the mood is fun and flirty. But my favorite fashion girls—like Jennifer Lawrence, Zendaya, and Katie Holmes—are making summer's button-down shirts impossible to resist. At this point, my current closet is 80 percent Oxfords, bookended by other summer trends like capri pants, Bermuda shorts, and tank top dresses.
May was a big month for button-downs—and not just the white ones Hollywood knows and loves. It all started with Taylor Swift's peplum pick from Stella McCartney on May 14. The classic, $1,190 shirt was cut from a crisp, stark white cotton, except with a fit-and-flare twist. Then, Barbara Palvin elevated a plaid button-down with the Cannes-worthy capris trend. Back in New York City, Holmes stepped out of her Oxford comfort zone with a sheer polka-dot top over a peekaboo bralette. With all that inspiration, my collection tripled in size last month.
