The weather is finally starting to warm up in the UK, and that can only mean one thing: blouse season is officially here! Of course, you’ll still find me in my trusty tank top and t-shirt at times, but on days when I need something a little more elevated to dress up my jeans, skirts, and linen trousers, a blouse will be my go-to.
Elegant enough to make my outfits look instantly more polished, but low-backed enough that they never feel out of my minimal comfort zone, I always turn to blouses as an easy but stylish throw-on option on days when I want to look put together with little effort. And ahead of the new season, I decided to go looking for some new styles to add to my capsule wardrobe.
My first port of call? Zara, H&M and M&S, of course. Perfectly balancing on-trend appeal with an equally classic aesthetic, I constantly come back to these three high-street heroes for expensive-looking pieces that will stand the test of time. And true to Zara, H&M and M&S fashion, each brand currently has a selection of blouses that could easily pass as designer, without needing to be. In fact Break the bank.
And luckily for you, I’ve rounded them up below. From pretty polka-dots to timeless broderie anglaise, keep scrolling to see my edit of the best Zara, H&M and M&S blouses to shop this season.
