One of the easiest ways to get on this trend is to pair your shirt over a T-shirt and jeans combo. We love the effortless styling at Bottega Veneta with oversized separates.

Casual suiting done right for summer - a nonchalantly unbuttoned shirt styled with a navy blazer and loose-fit dark chocolate trouser. To break the monotony of the darker colours, the detail of the stark white belt is genius.

We can totally imagine this look on Parker Posey in The White Lotus. Her character Violet Ratliff, an affluent Southern beauty, is a picture of posh in a classic white shirt unbuttoned layered with a blue-and-white striped T-shirt tucked into a pair of white cotton shorts. For a dash of drama, a suede fringed jacket, a belt with a western-inspired buckle and blue printed scarf is totally on point.

Instead of leaving the top buttons undone, do the reverse, but be sure to tuck in the shirt so you can style it to show off your toned torso.
