Trend Alert: Romantic Blouses

Romantic blouses are the perfect foil for this season’s menswear-inspired tweed vests and shorts. Look for blouses with soft lacey details like this Foley and Corinna Victorian Blouse.


The tie-around ribbon empire waist keeps the shirt fitted and sleek when worn over a cami. The blouse has a deep V-neck and intricate lace details that look perfect peeking out from a fitted suede vest like this one, also from Foley and Corinna. Another romantic vintage-inspired top comes from Joie, which makes casual clothing look effortlessly put-together. The Joie Honey shirt has vintage details like soft shirring and a one-button puff sleeves, but the unfinished hem keeps the look modern. The back of the shirt has terrific details like pin-tuck on the waist and more delicate vintage-looking lace.

To make the romantic blouse work at the office, this CK Calvin Klein top with pleating details and shadow stripes, has enough structure to wear over trousers. Find it at Saks.com.
