I probably own north of a dozen white blouses, and will not bat an eye adding more to the wardrobe. When I have no idea what to wear, I can always lean into a white blouse in an on-trend or fashion-forward cut paired with white jeans or my favorite dark-wash skinnies. I also happen to think that buying any top in stark white is a great bet, regardless of price tag — white tends to look more expensive than a lot of other colors for some reason. At any rate: right now, it’s all about volume — big sleeves, dramatic wrist detailing, a cropped or cinched silhouette to offset it all. And no one does a white, frothy volume quite like Cecilie Bahnsen (seen above and below), whose pieces are at the tippy top of my lust list. I would love to own this or this.
Below, a range of white statement blouses (at all pricepoints), taking cues from these street style stunners:
*Note the chic pea at top is wearing that Jacquemus bag I’ve been lusting after! (You can get the look for less with this Mango score.)
THIS BOW-TRIM STYLE (ON SALE FOR $134) IS IN MY CART — LOOK FOR LESS WITH THIS UNDER-$30 STEAL
OVERSIZED WITH AN ASYMMETRICAL HEM ($60!)
CRISP WITH A CINCHED WAIST ($70!)
ENORMA-SLEEVED PETERSYN (LOVE THIS LABEL — LOOK FOR LESS WITH THIS)
VERSATILE WRAP TOP WITH PUFF SLEEVES (UNDER $35!)
OFF THE SHOULDER GANNI (PERFECT WITH A ROMANTIC FLORAL MIDI SKIRT OR LINEN TROUSERS)
ON-TREND PUFF SLEEVE ($40 — OR THIS ONE)
MATERNITY PICK (WEAR WITH YOUR BIGGEST SHADES)
ROMANTIC/BOHO (ALSO LOVE THIS SIMILAR STYLE, SOMEHOW MARKED DOWN TO $25!)
A FROTHY FEMININE TAKE (UNDER $100)
P.S. Another big trend for spring: statement headbands.
P.P.S. More on-trend goodies worth lusting after.
P.P.P.S. Still not over the Theranos scandal?
So many good options here, especially the Cecilie Bahnsens! Major heart eyes over those. I have a Velvet by Graham & Spencer puff-sleeve white top that I purchased over the winter & have been saving for warm weather … think I may bust it out next week!
Thinking of you in these waning days of your pregnancy, and sending prayers and good thoughts for a smooth delivery! xx
Thank you so much, MK 🙂 xxx
