What to wear with a button down shirt that isn't plaid

I got the shirt below from my mom. She got it in Singapore when she was on a business trip. I loved the gift! It's so different and pretty. I had trouble for a while figuring out what to wear with it at first though.

Well, now I have no trouble in pairing this into my everyday wardrobe so I thought I would share some of my outfits with you. Patterned button-downs may seem restricting, but there are many ways to wear them.

This first picture here is a favorite of mine to wear during the winter. I paired bright-colored skinny jeans with  the shirt tucked in, a sweater cardigan, black belt and black knee-high boots. Not much of the shirt shows because of the cardigan. However, what you do see offers a lot of visual curiosity.

The second picture is more of a spring look. The wind may be chilly so it's not smart to wear shorts, but you can get away with no jacket. Here, I put a light colored tank top under the black shirt. This makes the pattern pop. I have also chosen dark denim jeans with a colored ankle boot. The shirt is still tucked in with the belt, but the type of boot paired with the outfit gives this a different look than the first.

For a night out, definitely look at the last picture. The shirt is worn over a blue body-con skirt. Then paired with a dark red leather jacket and wedged black boots. The color contrast with the unique pattern makes for an awesome outfit!
