Kate Bosworth buttoned up her shirt all the way and tucked it into a pair of trouser jeans with outside front pockets.  She layered a necklace under her collar and finished the look off with wedges and a great bag!

- Tyla Wedge by Dolce Vita - $79


Zoe Saldana tucked her button down into a pair of low rise flare jeans.  She threw on a cross body bag and was ready for an active day out and about!

    There is nothing more classic than a button-down and jeans. They make a great, casual combination.

    I definitely like this trend, especially how Kate Bosworth channeled it. However, while I'm in favour of tucking the shirt into jeans/trousers, I don't like to button up the shirt all the way. Looks too much...
