• Wear with jeans (classic, white or black work best) and any shoe (flats, mules, sneakers, booties, strappy sandals...etc.)

• Wear tucked in to a midi skirt (satin, printed, or solid colors all work), again with any shoe style depending on the occasion.

• Wear half-tucked into a pair of denim shorts (stick to classic, white or black options) and complete with sandals.

• Wear tucked into a pair of dressy shorts (leather, camel, linen...etc.) and complete with sandals, mules, or heels.

• For a cozy weekend look, wear over a pair of classic black leggings and wear a comfy shoe like sneakers, flats, or sandals.

• Layer under a slip dress for the ultimate fashion-forward look. This can be worn with any shoe. Go casual with sneakers or a heeled style for a dressier event.

• Tuck into cropped wide-leg pants (black, white, camel options). For work, try a bootie or pump. For an everyday look try sneakers, flats, mules, or even sandals.

• For a formal event, think '90s-chic (Sharon Stone, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy). Tuck the shirt into an elegant skirt or satin pants and finish with a sleek shoe.
