'Absolutely flattering on': This versatile, flowy button-down is down to as little as $10
Are you in the midst of a a mid-summer wardrobe refresh? Good job! But that doesn't mean you can't stock up on some all-weather basics. After all, the best pieces take us from season to season — you get more bang for your buck that way. With that in mind, consider adding this versatile garment to your fashion arsenal: the Hotouch Button-Down Shirt. It's on sale for as low as $10. (Translation: You can afford to stockpile multiple colors.) Why is it a good deal? 💰 At $10, the pretty green version of this shirt is the lowest price we've ever seen it, but if you're looking for more neutral styles, you can also grab options in white, black and tan for just $20 right now. Plus, there are endless ways you can style it, so it's like getting multiple shirts in one. Wear it under a sweater vest or blazer, pair it with jeans and a light jacket ... the limit does not exist. It's long enough to wear with leggings (it covers the bum) and is easy to dress up with a chunky necklace or printed scarf. Why do I need this? 💬 The Hotouch Button-Down Shirt is all cotton, which gives it a breathable, lightweight feel. It can also be worn as a beach cover-up (use the pocket for your sunglasses), and it won't add bulk under your fall coat once the seasons change and temps start to drop. It has a relaxed boyfriend cut and trendy, drop-shoulder sleeves. They're the perfect length for a casual, cool, rolled-up look. Choose from 16 colors and prints. What reviewers say 💬 Nearly 3,400 Amazon customers say this top has the magic (Ho)touch. Pros 👍 "The fit is perfect and it looks absolutely flattering on, whether you button it or wear it open, tucked in, it all works and looks amazing," raved an eclectic enthusiast. "My favorite way to wear this is tied up in the middle, they are just so cute and the color selection is amazing as well." "I ordered this for a beach trip with low expectations," began one buyer. This is now one of my favorite shirts! I ordered a size up so that I could layer it, and it's perfect. The white isn't sheer, and the fabric is soft but sturdy. It washes well and doesn't get super wrinkly. I have been wearing it nonstop." "Lightweight and comfortable, this is a perfect top to wear with shorts, leggings and capris," swooned this shopper. "Love the slightly oversized fit without being baggy. [The] fabric is soft and looks like a much more expensive blouse." Cons 👎 "I love the color and fabric, but it runs very large," said a reviewer. (Consider sizing down if you want a closer fit!) "The one negative thing I have to say is that it wrinkles easily," wrote a generally satisfied shopper. To complete your look, these No. 1 bestselling Gloria Vanderbilt jeans have a flattering fit, and they can be had for upwards of 70% off.
