A button-down shirt is a wardrobe staple that instantly makes an outfit feel polished and put-together, but that doesn’t mean you need to be heading to the office to wear one this summer.

Meghan Markle and Lucy Hale are the most recent (of many) celebs who have proven why this piece deserves a spot in your everyday rotation. Both stepped out styling the top with jeans and casual footwear, and we’re taking note of their effortless outfits ideal for casual workdays, errands, and even traveling. We recreated their looks with pieces from Quince below.

Organic Cotton Poplin Long-Sleeve Shirt

$40 at Quince.com

To achieve the same nautical vibe as Markle and Hale, start with this blue-striped long-sleeve top. It will instantly become a classic in your wardrobe, whether you wear it tied at the waist like Markle, or casually tucked like Hale. The 100 percent cotton poplin material gives it a lightweight feel, and crisp color and cuffs. One shopper assured that it “doesn’t wrinkle easily,” and another added that they plan to wear it on vacation with “jeans, shorts,” or as a “cover-up.”

Leather Everyday Sneaker

$84 at Quince.com

Markle’s ensemble was ready for a day of walking and exploring thanks to her classic white sneakers, and this 100 percent leather version from Quince is similar. The plush insole provides support and comfort, and the low-top silhouette is great for dressing up or wearing casually. Grab the pair that a reviewer says “feels like walking on air.”

Italian Leather Ankle Strap Flat Sandal

$80 at Quince.com

For a summer-ready outfit, copy Hale’s look by reaching for a sleek pair of strappy sandals, like this pair made from Italian leather. They have an ankle strap for added stability, and an Ortholite insole for cushion and support. The timeless style will make these a staple in your wardrobe, and the “strong but supple” leather makes them the “perfect summer sandal,” according to a satisfied buyer.

Bella Rigid Straight Jeans

$60 at Quince.com

If your closet is missing a pair of classic white jeans, let both celebs’ outfits finally inspire you to add the sleek style to your collection. Both Markle and Hale wore a relaxed pair, and this option has a naturally broken-in texture that gives a vintage-inspired feel that mimics the celeb’s outfit. Plus, the high-rise fit, multiple pockets, and limited stretch add polish and functionality.
