Women's Clothing

Our collection of women's tops makes it easy to dress for any event, whether it's a formal lunch or a night in with the girls. For a softer daytime look, pair a white shirt with high-waisted denim and add a leather belt and sandals. If the hem is long enough, tie it loosely at the waist instead of tucking it in.

When heading out for the evening, explore our women’s blouses and pair a button-up blouse with plain black pants and heeled sandals. If the details sit around the neckline, skip a necklace and choose small earrings instead. Finish the look with a cute clutch, and you’ll have a full ensemble ready for whatever the night has in store.

On cooler nights, slip a blazer over a slim-fit cotton button-up shirt, leaving it open to show any detailing. If you prefer to layer, one of our camis works as a perfect base beneath your shirt, giving you coverage while leaving the top buttons undone. Choose a cami in a similar shade so it blends with the fabric. For balloon sleeves, wear the shirt without a jacket and tuck it into straight-leg pants.

Women's shirts FAQs

1. What's the difference between a button-up shirt and a button-down shirt for women?

A button-up shirt for women fastens with buttons down the front, while a button-down shirt has those same front buttons, plus small buttons securing the collar points to the shirt. The difference is in the neckline/collar, so when choosing yours, start by checking there.

2. What is a women's Oxford shirt?

An Oxford shirt gets its name from the Oxford cloth, a fabric with a distinctive basket weave. Usually made from cotton or a cotton blend, it brings subtle texture to a traditional button-up style. Women's variations commonly feature a collar and button front, giving you a shirt to pair with denim, skirts or tailored pants throughout the week.

3. Are button-up shirts flattering on different body shapes?

Yes, button-up shirts can flatter different body types, especially if they’re styled different ways. If you prefer to highlight your waist, try a fitted cut or tuck your shirt into high-waisted pants. For a looser look, wear it untucked. Either way, the buttons should close comfortably without gaps or pulling when you move around.

4. How should an oversized button-up shirt fit?

Look for a loose fit that lets you move comfortably without pulling across the back or bust. Oversized shirts often have dropped shoulders and extra width through the body. The hem length varies by style, so choose one that works for how you plan to wear it, whether it's tucked or untucked.

5. Are linen button-up shirts good for Australian summer weather?

Yes, particularly if you choose a lightweight style that sits away from the body. Linen is naturally breathable, and a loose cut leaves room for air to circulate. Check the fabric weight before choosing, as some linen shirts are thicker than others by design.

6. Can a button-up shirt be dressed up for work and dressed down on weekends?

Absolutely! Try a neutral-toned button-up with black tailored pants and loafers. Tuck it in and add a belt for a complete look. On weekends, pair the same shirt with denim shorts and leather slides. It's a practical way to get more wear from a piece you already love.
