Okay, really, it could be button-down any day. But I agree with the writers over at ShopBop, that this is a great casual Spring look. Here’s what she writes:

In the summer, most of my Saturday afternoons are spent on a sunny coffee shop patio with a cup and a book. An oversized chambray button-down thrown on over a print skirt is just the kind of effortless style this laid-back activity deserves.

I, of course, would wear this to work, but hey, that’s what happens at Midwest start-ups.

I just loved this photo and Sartorialist’s description:

I love how Milanese gentlemen move like they are the star of their own film.

Such swagger. Such intrigue.

This isn’t about fashion or even style but about creating an impact on the viewer.

A visual seduction.

I’m pretty sure that’s how we should decide to dress each day – with swagger, intrigue and seduction.
