Nothing beats the styling (and staying) power of a crisp button-down. The timeless staple pairs well with practically everything in your closet, whether it's black trousers, light-wash skinny jeans, or a floral-print midi skirt. But if you feel like that ivory shirt hanging in your closet has gotten all the mileage it can get, it may be time to get your hands on a new one. With that, you'll want to draw your attention toward Brie Larson's white button-down — a fresh, fun take on a must-have wardrobe essential.

It's only April, but Larson has had a whirlwind of a year already. She starred in Marvel Studio’s first female-led superhero film, Captain Marvel, and made her directorial debut with the Netflix original comedy, Unicorn Store. Now, she's busy doing press for her latest project, Avengers: Endgame (which hits theaters on April 26).

Hectic schedule aside, Larson has managed to bring her fashion A-game with her everywhere. The actor is currently promoting Avengers: Endgame in Seoul, South Korea — and everything she's donned thus far deserves a spot in your spring lineup. Though you may not be able to rock the '80s-inspired Rodarte gown she just wore in your day-to-day, you can definitely sport another one of Larson's latest looks.

On April 14, the actor took to Instagram to share a photo of one of her press tours outfits, which consisted of black high-waisted trousers and an ivory button-down, both of which hail from Khaite — a brand known to churn out reinvented takes on wardrobe essentials. The 26-year-old's getup is perhaps the best example of the label's modern design approach.

Larson's button-down was anything but boring, thanks to the billowy peasant sleeves, the drop-shoulder detailing, and the pretty linen gauze fabric that's perfect for warmer weather. If you tend to stay away from the classic shirt because, well, it can quickly read stiff, Larson's find will, without a doubt, win you over completely.

Larson combed her hair into a deep side part and went for natural, minimalist makeup. The only accessory in her look was a sleek black belt, also from Khaite.

Finding a white button-down that feels fresh and classic is quite simple. It's all in the details, and Larson's shirt is the perfect example. Opt for one with statement-making sleeves, unique buttons, or pick a modern silhouette rendered in an airy fabric.
