There is a garment that never fails capsule wardrobe that’s self-respect in any season, and that’s just a good blouse—with the permission of the jeans and blazer. Shirts and blouses are the basis for every dressing room† It’s the quintessential foolproof basics, especially in their monochromatic version – few alternatives can beat the timeless white blouse – but sometimes we like to take risks and give this classic a spin. When it comes to taking a summer look to the next level, we prefer to bet on colour, leave the usual shirts behind and opt for more original patterns, bold prints, ruffles and twists which in the end make a much more special blouse.
Looking forward to the days of spring-summer (and beyond), Zara took this base and managed to turn it into another garment with added value through fabrics and prints† As for the patterns, the Inditex company is dedicated to long and loose sleeve shirts, sometimes even with large volumes or puffed, lapel collars, asymmetrical hems with openings, crisscross designs and even laces for rejuvenating looks. Light fabrics can withstand high temperatures, but also make room for satin finishes and even jacquard† As for the patterns, Zara’s collection is a true fantasy: print floral, tropical, paisley geometric… a barrage of colors that will instantly add style to your look.
If you’re wondering how to combine it, we’ll tell you that the possibilities are endless. On the one hand, if you prefer to avoid headaches and look for styles with a touch of sophistication, we’ll tell you many of Zara’s printed blouses have matching pants to create the perfect ‘total look’. You don’t have to think about what other piece of clothing to combine it with and it can even be your new BBC combo —wedding, baptism, communion— to be the perfect guest. Another of the simplest alternatives is to combine them with some pants denim, whether they have been washed blue, white or in another summer shade. They are such striking and special models that they more than lift a basic look. Don’t forget the skirts! If you want to be the most cool it’s the season, combine your blouse with a satin skirteither mini or measuring unitfor a magnetic result —Zara’s word—.
