And during that weird transitional phase between summer and fall, this style can be key to staying comfortable and stylish at the same time. If you’re doubtful that a collared top can look anything but drab, take a look at how these celebs wear the look to have your mind totally blown.

2. Pair it with a fancy skirt. Often the dilemma of splurging on a super swanky skirt is that you don’t really know what sort of top goes with it. The solution? A simple collared shirt. While it will probably be a little more casual than the skirt, it’s still simple and refined enough to make it an unlikely – albeit fashionable – match. (Photo via Michael Buckner)

6. Add a statement necklace. If you’re looking for a super simple way to add an update to the style, a statement necklace is sure to do the trick.

7. Wear just the collar under a dress. If you can’t bring yourself to wear the full collared shirt just yet, break into the clean look by cutting off just the collar and popping it on underneath some of your favorite pieces. It’s a fun way to try out the trend that’s also easily removable if you decide you’re not into it. (Photo via Valerie Macon/Getty)
