Top 10 White Button-Down Shirts

DEFINING DETAILS
Banana Republic’s take on a classic white button-up blouse includes a point collar and a shirttail hem. It’s made from 100% cotton (which means it can be thrown into the washing machine without an issue), and it’s also available in several different colors and patterns.

WHAT ELSE
Considered a Banana Republic best-seller, this timeless style has nearly 150 5-star reviews.

DEFINING DETAILS
The Urbanite Top 2.0 is a tunic-length white button up shirt. And considering that it’s breathable and provides UPF 50+, it’s also one of the best styles to throw in your carry-on for an extended weekend trip.

WHAT ELSE
Here’s something else to love about this shirt: it’s made from a recycled polyester fabric blend, a material Athleta sources from post-consumer plastic bottles in order to lower the environmental impact of their manufacturing process.

WHAT TO LOVE
Ringing up at just under $25, this oversized version of a classic white shirt is the bargain-buy everyone needs in their closet. It’s crafted from mostly cotton with a hint of spandex for shape retention and stretch, and the chest patch pocket provides the perfect spot for your sunglasses to hang out when you’re not using them.

USER REVIEW
“I like the oversized feeling of the shirt, and it is also very, very soft and comfortable to wear! It runs big because it’s supposed to, so keep that in mind. Also, it is a little bit see-through, but most white shirts are.”

DEFINING DETAILS
Technical silk, a high-stretch, super-soft fabric that drapes like silk, is the secret behind this crisp women’s white shirt (and it’s also the reason it’s prone to selling out). Quick-drying and wrinkle-resistant, this button-down shirt is practically made for repeat wears.

WHAT ELSE
Even with over 700 reviews, this shirt manages to maintain an average rating of 4.5 stars.

DEFINING DETAILS
If you’re trying to be more laidback in 2023, you need J.Crew’s Relaxed-Fit Washed Cotton Poplin Shirt. Designed with one of their most oversized silhouettes to date, it’s safe to say this isn’t your typical women’s white oxford shirt.

INSIDE TIP
For an extra $10, you can add your initials in the form of a monogram to this shirt.

DEFINING DETAILS
This one’s for the ladies who love to layer, because the 100% Organic Cotton Big Shirt lives up to its name. A roomy version of the classic women’s white button-down shirt we all know and love, this style is undeniably made for throwing over a tank top or a mini dress.

USER REVIEW
“This shirt has all the qualities of a boyfriend shirt but no negatives. 1. The sleeves are women's length and easy to roll up. 2. The shirt is long but not super long and slim. 3. I haven't washed it yet, but it is a nice, light, crisp fabric. It's gonna look great over a swimsuit in the summer and knotted at the waist over a sports bra, tanks, or t-shirts in the winter.”

DEFINING DETAILS
The Boxy Oxford: fun to say, even more fun to wear. Dropped shoulders, oversized front patch pockets, and a split hem define this white button-down, and the organic cotton it’s made from gives it a soft, breathable feel.

WHAT ELSE
If you fall in love with this boxy version of a classic women’s white oxford shirt, don’t miss the other seven color and pattern varieties it’s available in.

WHAT TO LOVE
First of all, this is definitely the most affordable white button-up shirt on our list. But it’s also the most well-reviewed, with an impressive 8,000+ 5-star reviews to its credit.

WHAT ELSE
This blouse is available in over 20 different colors and patterns and sizes from XS to 2XL.

DEFINING DETAILS
Here’s how Everlane describes their Silky Cotton Relaxed Shirt: put-together polish with lived-in comfort. We can’t compete with that description, but what we can do is confirm that it’s true. This modernized version of a classic white shirt has a roomy fit and is made from a high-twist, 100% cotton yarn that allows it to drape over your frame in a flattering way.

WHAT ELSE
Choosing the right size can be a challenge, but luckily, Everlane has included the measurements for this style’s length, chest, opening, and more within their size chart.

DEFINING DETAILS
We won’t pretend that AYR’s The Deep End blouse isn’t a splurge. But with its Italian-milled cotton blend and loose, sophisticated silhouette, it might become your go-to top for work, date nights, and coffee shop runs.

WHAT ELSE
Two things that help make this the best white button-down shirt on the internet? The oversized front patch pocket and the thick, high-quality material it’s made from.
