Clothing Staples | The Classic Blouse

The Staple Piece Every Woman Needs

One of the most essential clothing staples every woman needs in her closet may just be the classic blouse. The idea for a roundup of classic blouses came from a reader who was struggling with finding tops that could be worn easily from day to night.

Here’s what she had to say: “I’m having a hard time finding blouses and tops that are good quality and timeless, that can be worn with jeans during the day (for a lunch date) but still look nice enough to go out to dinner or for drinks”.

Finding a classic blouse is a lot harder than you think these days. A lot of brands are focusing on more trendy pieces like cropped tops, cutouts, ruffles, and big puffy sleeves. Unfortunately for many of us, those styles don’t always make us look and feel our best. Classic styles are classic for a reason; with no frills and simple, clean lines, they are almost universally flattering. They pair beautifully with other pieces and make you feel more put together.

If you have also been struggling with finding this clothing staple, look below for some of my favorite blouses at every price point. These blouses are great clothing staples that you can wear casually, out to dinner, to work, or a night out. These tops also easily transition from daytime to an evening out. They can be worn with jeans, trousers, or skirts. A quick change of shoes can change the whole feel of the outfit; throw on high heels for a night out and flats for a lunch date. Just remember to do a half-tuck in the front to define your shape for any billowy top. A French or half-tuck creates definition in the waist and easily elevates any look.

Are you ready to have a wardrobe that reflects your personal style, works for your body, and makes it easy to put together outfits you feel great in?
