We don’t know how she does it, but Sarah Jessica Parker has us constantly reframing the way we think about fashion.
On Monday, January 26, the actress wore a black button-up shirt to an evening book event, and somehow, it didn’t read basic or casual. This has us wondering: Can button-up shirts thrive outside the office? According to Parker, Taylor Swift, Nicole Kidman, and Kelly Clarkson, they definitely can.
It helps that Parker’s black blouse looked so different from the more stuffy styles we typically reserve for our 9-to-5s. Instead, it appeared rather elegant thanks to its relaxed silhouette and darker, after-hours-friendly color. We rounded up tops inspired by Parker, and prices start at $15.
Black Button-Up Shirts Inspired by Sarah Jessica Parker
Jonivey Button-Down Blouse
If you already own a button-up, you probably know that ironing and steaming one is a total pain. Thankfully, this $15 pick is “truly wrinkle-resistant,” according to one shopper, so you can throw it on and wear it out the door at a moment’s notice. It’s also “so soft and comfortable” and “feels amazing all day long,” said another reviewer who bought it in white, so you can wear it from work to dinner without needing an outfit change.
Quince Washable Stretch Silk Notch Collar Blouse
This best-selling shirt looks so posh, no one would bat an eye at it worn outside of work. In fact, many shoppers do just that: “I love that I can wear this to work, but I can also wear it with jeans and some flats to church,” claimed one.
It’s made from a silk and spandex blend and has a soft, fluid shape for comfortable wear. The buttons also match the shade of the shirt itself, making it look, in our opinion, even more high-end.
Banana Republic Factory Silky Classic Shirt, $32 at checkout
With most button-ups, there’s some sort of price to pay, monetary or otherwise. They’re either uncomfortable or, well, ridiculously pricey — but this Banana Republic Factory shirt is neither. Thanks to double discounts, it’s a whopping 60 percent off right now. There is also not a single review that claims the garment to be “itchy” or “scratchy.” Another bonus? It comes in both a regular and petite size, so the length will hit the perfect spot.
