HOW TO STYLE A WHITE COLLAR BLOUSE

To be honest with you, I don’t think I know anyone without a white blouse in their closet. It’s just that most times, that little white blouse is shoved all the way in the back of the closet along with last season’s coats and scarves. Today’s post covers simple & elegant ways to style that long lost white blouse (& I can guarantee you have one hidden somewhere 😉 )

WHITE COLLARD SHIRTS ARE A BEAUTIFUL FOUNDATION TO AN EASY-TO-STYLE & ELEGANT OUTFIT. SIMPLY START WITH YOUR FAVORITE WHITE COLLARD SHIRT AND ADD YOUR PIZZAZZ PIECES (THINK, NECKLACES, PINS, COATS, VESTS, AND BOLD SHOES)

// PAIR IT WITH TROUSERS

Trousers, pants, take your pick. White collared shirts look stunning when paired with flowy and/or high waisted trousers. I think the right pair of pants can really take a plain white shirt to another level. You can even apply a nice + cool contrast with a flowy white blouse and skinny jeans!

MY FAVORITE TROUSERS/PANTS:

+ Nasty Gal Tailored High Waisted Wide Leg Pants ($48- ON SALE NOW for $24!)

+ PRINCESS POLLY ZACK PANTS ($53)

+ SHEIN Plus Paperbag Waist Belted Pants ($14)

+ DAZY Slant Pocket Solid Tailored Pants ($17)

// PAIR IT WITH A SKIRT

Total Victorian look, I love a simple white blouse can give off a lovely Bridgerton vibe when matched with a flowy skirt (just me?) Flowy skirts are the epitome of elegance. Add some of your favorite pieces of jewelry and you’re golden!

THE BEST FLOWY SKIRTS:

(btw, I AM IN LOVE WITH THESE PICKS!)

+ High Waist Ruffle Hem Skirt ($19) *adding to wishlist right now*

+ Ambrosio Dark Sage Skirt ($49.50)

+ Aerie Garden Party Skirt ($49.95- ON SALE NOW for only $24.97)

// ADD YOUR FAVORITE ACCESSORIES

Honestly, a must-have for nearly any look, is the inclusion of some jewels and gems. Taking into account the simplicity of a white blouse, jewelry adds that oh so desired depth that takes an outfit to another level. Think, sparkly pins, bangle bracelets, giant & bold earrings, and eye catching necklaces.

THE BEST ACCESSORIES:

+ ZARA Initial Medallion Necklace ($19)

+ ZARA Natural Pearl Hoop Earrings ($17.90)

+ SWAROVSKI Orbita Earrings ($169)

+ SWAROVSKI Iconic Black Swan Necklace ($119) *(check out this one too!)

// LAYER WITH PASTELS

With the beloved fall season coming into our midst so suddenly, cardigans, coats, and sweaters are soon to become a necessity in our daily commute. While a white blouse still looks stunning with deep fall colors (think jewel tones) I love incorporating some light pastel layers with a simple white blouse.

MY FAVORITE PASTEL LAYERS

+ ZARA Pastel Basic Knit Sweater ($35.90)

+ PRINCESS POLLY Petal Cardigan ($85)

+ John Galt Pale Green Mini Cardigan ($38)

+ H&M Pale Purple V Neck Cardigan (24.99)

// ADD CONTRASTING COLORS

Like all great matches, opposites attract. I love pairing my while collared blouse with a pitch black clothing piece, whether it be black leather loafers, black denim, or a black camisole on top. It offers such an in-depth effect to your look.

BEST CONTRASTING PIECES

+ Banana Republic Classic Camisole ($27.98 ON SALE NOW for $19.99)

+ Banana Republic Cowl-Neck Satin Slip Dress ($109.99 ON SALE NOW for $76.99)

+ H&M Black Wide-leg Twill Pants ($17.99)

+ EVERLANE The Easy Pant ($68)
