If you grew up in school uniforms and now shudder at the thought of polo shirts and khaki slacks, it might be time for you to reconsider the power and styling fun of a well-placed classic. A crisp prepster shirt or a pair of boat shoes can bring a super-wild outfit down to earth or add an extra dose of polish and Audrey Hepburn panache. Still wary? Topshop’s Denim Tie Front Shirt is a good middle ground. For $50, we love its laid-back preppiness and general versatility. In fact, we’ve come up with four ways to wear this piece–and you can surely think up more!
