BDG at ShopStyle


Gossip Girl's Jessica Szohr was spotted wearing this BDG boyfriend button down which costs just $39 at Urban Outfitters.



Forever 21 at ShopStyle


While the BDG shirt is by no means expensive, here's another option for you: It's from Forever 21, and it's just $19.80. Wear it tucked into a skirt with ballet flats now, then with jeans and boots in the fall (which is just around the corner!).

I have the one from urban in another color. I wish I had seen the one from f21 beforehand (I was just in there today though and didnt see it). I would have rather bought it instead. I like the styles BDG puts out but they always seen to fit weird, I dont know. However I saw ALOT of plaid button downs today in F21 that resembled urban for like 1/3 of the price.

HI! Can u do fitted button down striped (vertical stripes) shirts for less? But it must be very fitted, especially at the waist. I can't find inexpensive ones... thanks!

The BDG one is SUPER cute, I tried on a dark blue version at UO and it's a real boyfriend fit. The material is really soft and light.

I think I actually tried the Forever21 one also (in purple). Similar fit but the colors weren't as flattering.

I Agree! So mnant of those style shirts are boxy! Who knows where we can find the fem fit (with darts at the waist to fit more flattering?) I hate to look like I'm drowning in a soft square.

Surprisingly, I like the F21 pick better this time. Nice! :-)

Plaid is very big for this fall..I'm thinking in the way of a plaid jacket..not a fan of the shirts.
