According to Puxsatawney Phil, spring is about to arrive — which means it’s time to break out the transitional couplings. It’s as if Blake Lively predicted the news herself, as she already wore the quintessential layered piece this week.
In an Instagram reel created in collaboration with Cedric Grole at The Berkeley bakery in London, Lively put her taster skills to the test, mischievously pulling cakes from their display stands as soon as the chef could place them. While enjoying her patterns, the actress looked extremely comfortable in her green button-down shirt, which she expertly paired with a loose taupe beanie and baggy trousers.

We don’t know exactly what brand Lively’s pseudo-sous-chef shirt of choice is, but there are plenty of oversized button-ups. And the best part about them is their versatility: you can wear them through the spring for a light layer of warmth and keep them on shift in the summer as a beach mask.
Below, we’ve rounded up some similar button-down styles for your perusal — and prices start at $26.

Fun fact: This classic shirt style was pulled from The Gap archives because it that good. Unlike Lively’s model, it has a more masculine look thanks to its practical front pockets.

If only there was a green version of the classic button-up denim worn by Chessy in the The parent trap, that would be it. The relaxed fit is complemented by dropped shoulders, while the back has pleats and a curved shirt hem for a slightly understated structure. Paired with ripped jeans, we’d call it a chef’s kiss ‘fit.
If you’re a fan of Lively’s button-down style but not the color, some of our other picks come in other neutral shades, including beige, black and white. Even better, it pays to have a few different options to keep on hand, because once you’ve styled one, it’s all you’ll want to wear. Shop more Blake Lively-inspired button-down shirts below.
