Comfortable outerwear for heat relief when temperatures rise
In the heart of spring and summer, a poplin button-down shirt is the perfect addition to your wardrobe. Lightweight, crisp, and breezy, this versatile piece can elevate any outfit with its effortless style. Here are some stylish ways to wear a poplin shirt, along with similar alternatives for various items in these outfits.
Outfit 1: Poplin Shirt and Medium or Dark Wash Denim Jeans
Pair a poplin shirt with medium or dark wash denim jeans, preferably with a curved or slim fit, for a clean, sophisticated look that works well in capsule wardrobes. For a similar alternative, consider linen shirts, cotton broadcloth shirts, or chambray shirts for their lightness and breathability.
Outfit 2: Poplin Shirt and Tailored Joggers or Cropped Trousers
For a minimalist, fashion-forward vibe, try combining a poplin shirt with tailored joggers or cropped trousers. Button the shirt all the way up to the collar for a sleek silhouette. Slim-fit chinos or dress pants can serve as similar alternatives for a comparable tailored silhouette.
Outfit 3: Poplin Shirt and Wide-Leg Jeans
Achieve a relaxed yet chic weekend style by wearing a poplin shirt with wide-leg jeans. This outfit can work with various button-down fabrics including poplin, striped, denim, or suede. For a softer wide-leg look with similar comfort, consider straight-leg jeans or relaxed-fit trousers.
Outfit 4: Poplin Shirt and Shorts
For a more relaxed spring/summer look, you can wear a poplin-style shirt similarly to linen shirts: paired with matching shorts and sandals, an A-line skirt, jeans, or trainers for easy, polished casual outfits. In warmer seasons, loafers or slip-on sneakers can serve as alternatives to sandals.
Accessorizing Your Outfit
Complete your poplin shirt outfits with accessories such as the Mejuri Beaded Ring, the James Avery Foxtail Chain, or the Mejuri Thin Dome Rings. Similar options for earrings include Mejuri Dome Huggies, while the Mejuri Double Curb Chain can serve as a similar chain option.

The outfit formula for a poplin shirt consists of denim, a white tee, and a black layer on top, such as a big wool coat, a cashmere cardigan, or another poplin button-down.
