If there's one thing I own too many of, it's white blouses. Living in Southern California, I can wear them year-round, so I can always convince myself that they're a good investment. I love how they don't show your sweat stains, look pitch-perfect with jeans or denim shorts, and are great blank canvasses for showing off jewelry or bags. But do you really need any convincing that white tops are great?
Below, I've picked 33 different versions that I'm obsessed with right now—a significantly smaller number than I started with. There's a wide range of styles, from a long-sleeve fitted smocked top to a cropped ruffled number. I dare you to scroll all the way to the bottom and not be tempted to swipe up at least one pretty blouse.
