8 Unique Ways to Style Your Favourite White Blouse


Although it's often overlooked in favour of more dazzling colours, white is one of the most versatile shades in the fashion world. Whether you're dressing for the weekend or a warm day at work, just add a white blouse to instantly elevate your look.

The question is, how do you wear this simple style in a way that showcases your individuality?

From embroidered jeans to tweed blazers, read on to discover how to style a white blouse in 8 totally unique ways!

 


Style Your White Blouse With Statement Bottoms

The first step to styling your white blouse is to find the right bottoms to go with it. 


1. Go Retro with Embroidered Jeans


Embroidered denim is one of the best ways to bring some personality to your white blouse outfit. This retro trend began as a part of 70s bohemian style and hippie counterculture, as a way to showcase individuality and to rebel against fashion norms.

If you want to add some attitide to your white blouse outfit, this is the perfect way to style it.

Choose some denim jeans in a shape that fits just right (you could even go full retro with flares!). Look for florals or slogans, anything that shows off your sense of style. Add your favourite white blouse, slip on a pair of western boots, and watch your outfit come to life.

2. Add Some Whimsy with a Maxi Skirt


Few combinations feel as romantic and free-spirited as the blouse and the maxi skirt. The wild, swishing appearance of the skirt is balanced by the white blouse to create a swoon-worthy aesthetic.

What we love about this outfit is that there are so many wonderful ways to wear it. Let your blouse billow softly over a hanky hem skirt for a 'Wuthering Heights' inspired style. Tie it at the waist and pair it with a colourful paisley skirt for a boho chic silhouette.

Finish it off with leather sandals and a wicker bag for a dreamy white blouse look.


Elevate Your Blouse with Light Layers & Statement Jackets


When it comes to pulling your outfit together, layers are the ultimate styling tool. Throw a statement jacket over your white blouse and you'll be amazed at the transformation. 

3. The Old Money Look: Tweed Blazers & Heritage Checks


If you love heritage styles, you might have heard of the old money look. It's an aesthetic focused on pieces that are not only stylish, but timeless and durable too.

With your favourite white blouse on hand, it's easy to pull off this outfit. All you have to do is find the perfect heritage jacket to go with it! 

Tweed blazers are the go-to for old money styling, giving your look a shape that feels structured and sophisticated. Go traditional with subtle prints, like houndstooth checks and pinstripes, in neutral, earthy tones. Or, you could put your own spin on it with a colour that makes you feel good.

Long boots, a fedora hat, and a crossbody bag are all you need to complete this country chic ensemble.

If you need a little inspiration, look no further than Rivals. Based in the Cotswalds, the Disney+ series features plenty of tweed, corduroy, cable knits, and some remarkable blouses.

4. Refine it with a Waistcoat


If there's one way to add structure, shape, and personality to a white blouse, it's with a waistcoat. These tailored layers define the waist to create a polished silhouette that fits every occasion, from office days to brunches.

For a laidback, everyday look, try a denim waistcoat, paired with a floaty skirt or a pair of black jeans. Tuck your blouse in to further define the waist and let your waistcoat take the spotlight. Finally, add a little edge with leather ankle boots.

Heading somewhere smarter? Swap the denim for a linen waistcoat and match it with tailored trousers. Depending on the dress code, you can use bold prints and colours to express yourself. Pastels and watercolour florals are an excellent choice for weddings and garden parties.


Add Subtle Flair with the Right Shoes


The footwear you choose to pair with your white blouse wll depend on where and when you're wearing it. For sunny weekends and holidays, you'll need shoes that can keep you cool and comfy all day long; workdays require a more polished touch. 

5. Charm their Socks Off with Vintage Shoes


Vintage shoes are a fantastic choice for romantic dinners and summer soirees. Mary Janes and kitten heels both accentuate the retro charm of the white blouse. Opt for classic tones like cream, powder blue, or blush pink.

For a more playful nod to the past, a pair of retro platforms will add instant character. 

The key is to keep the rest of your outfit simple, with only a few subtle accessories, and let your shoes take the spotlight.

6. Get Festival Ready with Western Boots


When you think of festival outfits, a white blouse is probably not the first thing that comes to mind, but we meant it when we said you can take it anywhere!

All you need is your favourite denim shorts and a pair of leather cowboy boots, and you'll have a western-inspired festival look that feels right on trend.

When it comes to choosing your boots, go for classic tan or brown for an authentic retro feel, or embrace your inner Joe Browns with a bold embroidered pair. 

Put on some beaded jewellery, grab a fringe bag, and you'll be ready to steal the show.


Bright Accessories to Complete the Ensemble


When you want a mood-boosting outfit, but you also want to keep it plain and simple, style your favourite white blouse with bright accessories.

7. Scarves for a Splash of Colour


Give your white blouse a vibrant pop of colour by accessorising with a patterned scarf. Channel your inner 50s movie star and wrap it around your hair, or tie it around your neck for a modern day look that's simply très chic!

8. Jewellery for a Joyful Finishing Touch


Colourful beaded jewellery is one of the most joyful ways to take a white blouse from basic to fabulous. 

Wear chunky beaded bracelets in summer brights, along with layered necklaces, and multi-coloured drop earrings.

Don't be afraid to layer up and mix things together to create a colourful, carefree look that feels completely you!
