21 Incredibly Pretty Blouses That Will Elevate Your Autumn Wardrobe Instantly
We've rounded up the best designer blouses to buy for the new season.


There's no denying that summer 2025 was the season of the pretty blouse. With boho back in a big way on the catwalks, it came as no surprise that the hero piece returned as, well, exactly that—a hero of every stylish woman's wardrobe the past few months. Worn with everything from denim cut offs to cotton skirts, linen trousers to cargo pants and even Adidas shorts; and hailed by everyone, from Gen Z to millenials, as the perfect antidote to a boring white vest top. While the balmy days of summer may be coming to an end, the good news is that pretty blouses are here to stay. So, I've done the hard work for you and scrolled through the new-in sections to find 21 of the very best designer blouses that make wise investments.
After all, a great blouse is a perennial piece you can use to elevate your outfits year round. More elevated than a plain T-shirt, more interesting than your average button down shirt, a blouse is surprisingly versatile. A breezy cotton style can dress up jeans with a pair of simple ballet flats and a trench coat during the transitional seasons of autumn and spring, or throw a blazer on over a silk style for an instantly-chic work or evening look. A flash of delicate lace even serves to balance out heavy knits and woolen coats when the winter chill sets in.
Whatever your style, I'm certain you'll find a blouse for you in this comprehensive edit below. Minimalists will adore the buttery cream silky styles from Róhe, Toteme and Victoria Beckham; vintage lovers will likely fall for Rixo and Doen's pretty pieces; and statement dressers need to see what Zimmermann and Chloé have to offer. Keep scrolling for the full list of the best designer blouses to buy now.
