In case you haven’t heard, basic button-downs are on their way out, all thanks to the elevated alternative that’s been taking over ever since Matthieu Blazy showed his debut collection for Chanel last year. I’m referring to tuxedo shirts, which have quietly become *the* basic to pair with skirts, trousers, jeans, and more in 2026. The best way to style them, though, just revealed itself in Milan. Surprisingly, it wasn’t on the runway during Milan Fashion Week. Rather, it was on Jennifer Lopez, who, like most of the style set, is in town for the spring/summer 2027 shows.
Before walking the runway at Vogue World, the singer and actress stepped out in Milan wearing a pair of high-waisted black trousers with an unbuttoned tuxedo shirt tucked in to reveal a slinky black bralette. She paired the classic-with-a-twist trio with her signature platform heels, a black Dolce & Gabbana top-handle bag, and a Tacori diamond ring worth more than $16,000.

The trick to making your tuxedo shirt look relevant in 2026 is to follow J.Lo’s styling to a T, keeping the top unbuttoned but tucked into high-rise bottoms so you’re still covered up. For a cool, casual look, trade in her tailored trousers for vintage Levi’s and a pair of easy kitten heels. To dress up the technique, either wear slacks, a pencil skirt, or a column skirt. Bonus points for leather. Go the extra mile by picking a cool bralette in pastel silk or embroidered lace.
