The piece

How to choose and wear a blouse

A woman's shirt in a softer, more fluid fabric than a classic shirt: silk, satin, crepe or viscose. It dresses up jeans and suits tailoring.

How to choose

  • Fluid fabrics that drape: silk and good-quality satin or crepe.
  • Not see-through for work; check under daylight.
  • Ivory, white, black and soft neutrals first.

Common mistakes

  • ✕Gaping between buttons: size up or choose a hidden placket.
  • ✕A shiny satin blouse in harsh office light that shows every crease.
  • ✕Too many ruffles plus a busy skirt.

Care: Hand wash or delicate cycle, steam rather than iron.

In a capsule: Turns a casual capsule into one that works for the office and dinner.

What not to wear with cream blouse

Skip the cream puffer jacket. A puffer jacket is more casual than a blouse, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: head-to-toe cream is a clean tonal look; vary textures so it doesn't flatten.
