The Non-Basic Button-Ups Your Wardrobe NEEDS

Open anyone's closet and you're sure to find a certain key player: the button-up. C'mon, we all have at least one (if not dozens). It's arguably one of the most versatile pieces in a fashion person's arsenal. The quickest changes (a tuck here, a blazer there) can completely shake up the look your blazer's delivering.

But, we'd also bet money on the fact that the styles you rely on every day skew a bit ordinary. While there’s most definitely nothing wrong with a classic white button-up from Gap (it’s called classic for a reason), indie brands like Tradlands and Kule do you one better with unexpected color combos, patterns, and cuts.
