Sharyn GreensteinNothing beats a great white blouse when it comes to quickly putting an outfit together that looks stylish and chic. A white blouse always looks fresh and crisp. Pair them with denim or ponte leggings for a more casual vibe, or a blazer or dress slacks for a more polished look. They can be worn all four seasons and are workhorses in our wardrobes.
BA50’s may have a few white blouses in our closets, but it is important to have the “right” ones that make you feel and look your best. We all should own a well-fitting traditional button down, but I think it is equally important to have at least one other that has special style details like embroidery, a unique sleeve, or a fabulous drape. Whether your style is boho, classic, romantic or edgy, I have hunted around and found a fashion-forward, anything-but-boring white blouse for you. My Top 10 are below and I am tempted to buy most of them!
