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.

  • Not see-through for work; check under daylight.

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.
