By this point in the year, my wardrobe is well stocked with the basics. Think soft linen pieces, easy jersey and enough summer dresses to see me through until autumn. Yet, each day as I plan my outfits, I find myself craving something new: a romantic blouse. Looking for a pretty piece that feels equal parts elevated and current, I almost gasped when I stumbling across my favourite fashion people championing the expensive-looking silhouette the high street has long been backing. It’s official—sleeveless cotton embroidered blouses are the new summer staple.

In my search for something softer and more ethereal than white tees, this blouse kept cropping up. Defined by its lace trims, cotton fabrication and delicate detailing, it marries the classic texture and depth of broderie anglaise styles with climate-controlling comfort, creating a piece which feels both current and enduring.

It seems that the chicest people on my feed have pipped me to the post, and you can never go wrong with a good blouse to breathe new life into any summer rotation. Trusty ‘jeans and a nice top’ are lent a dreamy high-low contrast, whilst breezy cotton poplin skirts are elevated in an ultra-’feminine’ fashion.
