So to really bring out the best in your top, and add a note of freshness, why not attach some <a href=\"http:\/\/www.buttonsparadise.com\/en\/12-sewing-buttons\">original buttons<\/a>? With this one trick, you can personalize your basics by giving them a touch of originality. And you don\u2019t even need to be an expert in couture to give your outfits a makeover. Once you\u2019ve chosen your buttons, simply stitch them onto your shirt. So here\u2019s a quick run through of what this \u2018makeover\u2019 actually consists of, and how to choose your model and <strong>totally transform your white shirt into an item that\u2019s one of a kind<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.buttonsparadise.com\/en\/29-mother-of-pearl-buttons?p=2\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-180 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.buttonsparadise.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/08\/original_buttons_white_shirt.png\" alt=\"original_buttons_white_shirt\" width=\"845\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.buttonsparadise.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/08\/original_buttons_white_shirt.png 845w, https:\/\/www.buttonsparadise.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/08\/original_buttons_white_shirt-300x124.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Choose your piece of clothing wisely<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The white shirt featured above is by Caroll, in lightly striped, cotton voile. The two large patch pockets, in the style of Maison Margiela, give it that added charm. This shirt was bought in the sales for 40 \u20ac. When it comes to transforming a shirt, there are a few important rules to follow in terms of style and dimensions.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Measure the buttonholes carefully before purchasing the model of your dreams. <strong>For a 10mm button, the buttonhole must be at least 12mm, i.e. 2mm more than the button<\/strong> \u2013 and ideally, 4mm. In general though, this will depend on the shape of the button and how bulky it is.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>If you choose a shank button, make sure that it is lightweight and also that the material to which you are attaching it is fairly thick. Avoid putting a nickel button on a silk shirt for example: the button may well pull on the shirt fabric and undermine the look.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>You don\u2019t need to worry about the previous point for a sew-through button or a moulded-shank button, though. Once these buttons are stitched on, the thread will marry perfectly with the fabric.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">As for colour, prioritize contrasts<\/span>.<\/strong> Avoid putting orange buttons on a red shirt, for example: as a general rule, try not to choose your buttons in a similar shade to that of the clothing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>On the other hand, a white shirt will work well with any shade. <strong>The bolder the colour and style of the buttons, the more stylish your shirt will end up looking!<\/strong> So go ahead and be daring!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Glitz up your shirts with stylish and original buttons<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Buttons Paradise has a large choice of sewing buttons in pearl, resin, metal, wood, glass, horn and ebony.
