Charlize Theron just flipped the script on a wardrobe staple. The Atomic Blonde actress was spotted on the streets of New York City this week wearing a Stella McCartney long-sleeve denim top — with a twist. Her shirt featured super-chic ruffle trim down the front. She paired it with black bottoms, low black boots and a bold red lip for a pop of color. And we basically want to wear the entire look to brunch this weekend.
Theron’s fresh take on the denim button-down feels a bit unexpected thanks to the ruffle detailing (plus, it will set you apart from everyone else in their basic button-front chambray shirts). The look is still neutral enough to go all the bottoms in your closet, but it feels elevated compared to basic button-downs and tees.
