Meet Grayson: A Versatile Wardrobe Staple

I wear a lot of button down shirts and always have. My friends who have known me since middle school can attest that this style of shirt has always been a staple in my wardrobe. I would even wear them “going out” in college and my bestie Lucy would always laugh and remind me that button downs are meant for daytime. 😂 They’re effortless, timeless and versatile pieces that always work no matter the season. Not to mention they allow me to get extra mileage out of my wardrobe since they can be paired with jeans, skirts, shorts, joggers, etc. All this to say, I’m a bit of a button down connoisseur which is why I was so excited to recently discover Grayson.

Grayson launched this past March, and the style and fabric are unparalleled to any other button downs I’ve ever worn. The brand’s first (and only, so far) style is The Hero, which is made in cotton and linen, flatters every woman – no matter her age, size, body type, lifestyle – and is at an accessible price point for such a high quality piece.

The founder, Audrey McLoghlin, is also the woman behind Frank & Eileen (whose shirts have been worn by Duchess Meghan Markle). She wanted to make a shirt for women that work without a lot of fuss or effort. She spent 5 years sourcing the best fabrics that met her standards, and 2 years fine-tuning patterns that would work with real measurements of 30 different women. I think she nailed it!

I typically wear my button downs one of three ways. Front tucked, tied in a knot or all the way down for a relaxed look.

I am wearing the Washed Cotton Hero in this beautiful blue and pink stripe and this adorable pink heart print – so perfect for Valentine’s Day!

Sizing goes from 01-05, and the 02 fit me perfectly (I typically wear a small or 2 or 4 in tops for reference). I’ve also got my eye on this floral print, this striped linen and their white Liquid Lyocell for a more silky/dressed up look.
