I love a white button down, but sometimes you just need something special. Enter: a ruffled, romantic blouse. Feminine, boho-chic shirts might not be a basic, but it is essential to your spring wardrobe. Consider the boho blouses below a fresh breeze of spring air in your closet.
A lot of these boho shirts are gauzy or semi-sheer, which gives you enough breathability to wear them long into summer. Dôen, a brand with feminine and boho chic built into it’s DNA, does a spectacularly good job with this kind of blouse. The Huguette top is a little more fitted, perfect for tucking into high waisted pants or jeans. I love the oversized drama of the Jane blouse. Look at those sleeves! They’ll billow perfectly in a light breeze.
Texture is key here! It’s one of the few times when less doesn’t always mean more. More embellishment, more interest, more romance. I love this extra-ruffled Anthropologie top, and the delicate pleating creates a good shape so the shirt doesn’t swallow you up. Zara’s flowing, pleated long-sleeve top reminds me of a more affordable Pleats Please top. This pin tuck blouse from Anthropologie feels more like a cape thanks to the drop sleeve, perfect for swanning around with a pair of bug-eyed Jackie O sunglasses.
But let’s not forget about short sleeves. In the hotter temperatures, there’s nothing more refreshing than a crisp white blouse like this Brochu Walker number. Banana Republic’s tie-waist blouse splits the difference with a three-quarters sleeve. For a more formal feel, this Mille shirt has a high ruffled collar, with a similar sleeve motif. Eyelet feels both preppy and Southern, and this puff-sleeve broderie anglaise puff-sleeve blouse would be wonderful with a swingy skirt.
