How or where to shop for the oversized button down with jeans/shorts look for busty women?

[Anonymous]

Where do you buy your button downs? And do you simply size up a few sizes?

It depends on whether I’m going for casual or not. I’ve purchased a few at Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack. I have some old ones from Lands End that are nice. Plus an older one from Brooks brothers. For the oversized look of my college years I’d do men’s shirts from Brooks Brothers. They’re pricey but get softer with age and are wonderful as sleep shirts too.

I got a women’s chambray shirt from Old Navy — and was pleasantly stunned to see two extra buttons — to prevent gaping at the bust. Looking at the shirt you wouldn’t know that they are there.

The look great! It looks like something that I just would not be able to pull off. Oversized shirts always swallow me whole!

this half tucked look looks awful.

The Gap has several button downs designed for the look. Look at their linen boyfriend shirt, and their "big shirt". Both are cut generously though you may still want to size up depending on your bust size. Though if you are short I'd actually recommend buying your usual size because you don't want the length to go past high thigh at the longest.

She’s not busty. Just thick.

Do people really do this half-tuck look?

I got the Old Navy oversized boyfriend shirt and it looks good over a tank. I don't do the half tuck thing, but do sometimes tuck it in in the front only.

Try AYR. I have three of their button downs. They are super comfortable, oversized, and good quality.

Yeah, I could see tucking the front in a bloused way and leaving the back untucked, but tucking half the front? No - that doesn't look good.

It’s tough for big busts

Np. Is this the shirt with extra buttons at the bust?

Thrift stores are full of the oversized-cut shirts from the 90s.
