Boring T-Shirts, Begone! This Elegant Blouse Trend Looks So Much Chicer With Jeans
If you're feeling a little bored with your simple white T-shirts, discover my edit of the best balloon blouses to update your collection with here.
As much as I appreciate the throw-on ease of a dress, I’m a jeans-and-a-top kind of person through and through.
It’s the pairing I reach for day after day—it's comfortable, versatile and it feels like “me”. Usually, that means a classic jeans-and-T-shirt combo. But now that the temperatures are dropping and the evenings are drawing in, I’ve been searching for something a little more elevated—an alternative for those moments when my trusty white tees start to feel a touch too basic.
Drawing my attention to a burgeoning blouse trend, I spotted Lila Moss out this week, swapping simple tees for an ultra-elegant balloon blouse.
With its lustrous satin finish and voluminous silhouette, Lila's balloon blouse offered a high-coverage finish with the right amount of drama. Billowing sleeves tapered gracefully at the wrist, creating that signature rounded “balloon” effect that can make a big impact on an otherwise pared-back outfit.
Whilst Lila styled hers with a black miniskirt and pumps for an evening out, this trend is just as effective dressed down. I’m already imagining it tucked into a pair of relaxed jeans, or paired with tailored trousers and heels for evening sophistication.
Rendered in a satin finish like Lila's, these blouses have a naturally elevated finish that makes them perfect for evening styling, whilst when found in lighter cottons or chiffons, they feel fresher and more apt for day-to-day use.
A refreshing step up from basic tees—and arguably just as versatile—keep scrolling to shop my edit of the best balloon blouses to wear with jeans, skirts and trousers right now.
