I've Worked It Out—This is the Anti-Trend Top Fashion People Always Wear With Jeans, Shorts and Trousers

Crisp, clean, and effortlessly polished, a white blouse is undeniably chic. This anti-trend wardrobe staple can be worn in any season, but when summer hits and the days get warmer and longer, a white blouse really comes into its own. The lighter, breezier fabrics this style often comes in, along with the romantic silhouettes and pretty detailing, make it ideal for this time of year. Details like puff sleeves, broderie finishes and dramatic ruffles make a white blouse a slightly more elevated version of an everyday white Oxford shirt, objectively feeling much dressier but also won’t make you feel as if you’re trying too hard.

Not to mention this elegant top style is extremely versatile, pairing just as well with a satin slip skirt for evenings as they do tucked in a pair of barrel-leg jeans for casual days out. And for those really hot summer days, simply add a pair of denim shirts, suede sandals and a basket bag for an easy-breezy but just as sophisticated look. As I mentioned before, a white blouse can be worn any time of the year, so when autumn comes around, you can layer it under a relaxed blazer or even throw it over a lightweight turtleneck to provide extra warmth.

Although I’ll personally be buying a white blouse with my summer wardrobe in mind, the truth is that there’s never a bad time to invest in timeless yet elevated style. Below we’ve rounded the best white blouses at every price point to consider adding to your wardrobe for this season and beyond.
