A year ago, there was only one “right” way to wear a shirt: unbuttoned, with anything. This warm season, fashion influencers have already taken the ever-popular oversized blue shirt and created new looks with it. Here are four of the trendiest ways to add a blue shirt to your wardrobe this spring.
With a scarf instead of a belt
Of all the ways to emphasize the silhouette, accentuating the waist is one of the simplest. In 2026, scarves continue to be the center of attention. What do fashionistas do? They fix a bright scarf over a blue shirt at the waist. This technique works best in elegant oversized looks.

With a tie
The most daring fashionistas have long had ties as their go-to accessory. Wear baggy white pants, an oversized blue shirt, and a contrasting tie. Remember the trend for deliberate negligence? Wear your shirt with just that attitude this spring.

Under the sweater
A classic for those who are in no hurry to give up warm layers. This look in the preppy aesthetic has a distinctly student vibe and at the same time is relaxed and elegant enough to handle business in the city. Complete the sweater shirt with loose pants and comfortable ankle boots.

With a sweater around your waist
Another option is to accentuate the waist, or simply free your hands from the top layer and tie a sweater over it. An interesting idea is to use the color blocking formula, creating an image in two tones. Let the sweater and shoes be contrasting accents of the styling.
