Animal Print

Animal print has been this summer's most unexpected hit, and according to the runways, it shows no signs of slowing down for fall. Throughout the sunny season, tuck an animal-print blouse into high-waisted denim jeans for an edgy vibe.

Puff Sleeves

Although this trend has been around for a few seasons now, fashion girls everywhere continue to embrace the larger-than-life shoulder details in vintage patterns and crisp white colors.

Buttons

Enlarged buttons have been adorning blouses in every way possible this season. And the Insta set can't get enough.

Smocking

The simple embroidery technique of smocking has been blowing up our Instagram feeds this summer. Not only is it comfortable and stretchy, but it also looks utterly adorable.

Bohemian

Summer brings out the inner bohemian in us all—allowing us to be more relaxed and casual in our sartorial choices. And nothing says carefree like a bohemian blouse. Wear a billowy version with your staple denim shorts.

Translucent

Transparency is trending on everything from sandals to handbags. Time to try it in the form of a sheer blouse like our favorite fashion muses.

Gingham

Picnics in the park, brunches alfresco, vacations in the countryside—nothing says summer quite like gingham. Wear the print in a bright hue with crisp white pants.

Broderie Anglaise, Lace, and Eyelet 

Delicate embroidery techniques such as broderie Anglaise and graceful fabrics, such as lace, are a favorite among the Insta set—particularly those blouses with a vintage vibe.

Ruffles and Frills

Whether skimming the sleeve or the hem of a blouse, ruffles and frills add a charming and romantic touch to any outfit. 

Floral Print

Our favorite French fashion mavens love donning a floral print with their high-waisted jeans. Just add a straw bag to complete your look.

Polka Dots

The classic polka-dot print remains essential in every fashion girl's wardrobe. It's equally playful, professional, and versatile.

The White Blouse

Move over, LWD, because the LWB has been taking center stage on our feeds this season. From nostalgic square necks to simple button-downs and billowy sleeve details, a white blouse is a classic that you can wear with pants at work or shorts on the weekend.

Up next, bohemian blouses that look great with jean shorts.
