The other day I was looking at my closet and I realized something: I need a new going out top. Something dressy, flirty, and fun that I can easily wear with my favorite jeans. From date nights to drinks with the girls, shop our edit now to make getting dressed before your next night out a breeze.
Here’s a little taste of what (I think) will be one of the biggest trends of fall: animal print. Mango’s leopard slightly sheer blouse with a tie-your-own-bow gives off just enough sex appeal. I would wear it with wide-leg black trousers so it doesn’t feel like too much. But if animal print isn’t for you, then take the blouse-y boho shape and try something else, like this red floral number or the beautiful pearly sheen of COS’s blouse.
In fact, I love a statement sleeve. I don’t always feel comfortable going sleeveless! This cream colored & Other Stories has an architectural appeal. The delicate pleating of this Veronica Beard navy blouse is exquisite, reminiscent of Issey Miyake. Texture is always a great way to zhuzh up an outfit, and the floral appliqué’s on this white & Other Stories blouse make it memorable.
On the more conservative side of things, you can add volume and layers. ME + EM’s frilly, high-necked pale pink blouse is deeply romantic, all the more so for the high coverage. I like to leave a little something to the imagination. This pintucked blouse in a pretty pale shade is just sheer enough to look In fact, ruffles can also up the romance factor. This blue Anthropologie tunic or this very major peach button down blouse will turn any outfit into a total showstopper.
