With a closet full of the latest trends, many still choose to stick to their classic pieces. In between the Fashion Week madness and the eccentric Coachella pieces is a white blouse that most women own – and rock. This spring, revamp your timeless piece by incorporating this season’s latest trends.

Ruffles are a girl’s best friend

House of Holland and Mulberry incorporated frilly pieces in their runways, and the ruffles trend has since then grown in popularity. It adds a touch of youth and vivacity to the classic Hepburn-esque top, while keeping the simplicity of it. Pair the eye-catching frills with a simple denim and a statement belt for a casual, everyday look.

Off-shoulders and prints

Off-shoulder dresses are the easiest items to throw on for a day out, but for a more put-together look, consider an off-shoulder blouse with an eccentric piece for a pop of color for the warmer season and suede sandals. If you are not into quirky prints, try a striped white top with statement platform sandals. Pro tip: if you don’t own an off-shoulder top, you can wear an oversized white blouse buttoned lower with the shoulders pulled down for the off-shoulder look! Or you can try to DIY one.

Subtle details

For a simple and feminine touch, instead of dressing around the blouse, pick a blouse that already has a little extra something to it. The authenticity of the blouse will allow you to pair it with many pieces in your closet, whether you are going for a relaxed or classier look. Look for smaller designs, such as hearts and flowers.

Layered with slips 

You’ve seen the layering trend with turtlenecks and ribbed tops, but for a vintage feel, try layering a delicate dress over an oversized cotton blouse. The bigger sleeves remind of the 1860s extravagant gowns and the slip keeps the look sexy and feminine.

Buttoned-down button-ups

Forget the blouse, turn it into a jacket! You can turn an oversized white blouse into a light cardigan by simply rolling up the sleeves and unbuttoning the piece. Wear a high-neck t-shirt dress or a turtleneck dress underneath to balance out the look and finish the outfit with a pair of sneakers.
