After years of writing about fashion, I’ve realized the secret to a great outfit isn’t owning more clothes — it’s owning better tops. Jeans, trousers and skirts are the backbone of my everyday wardrobe, but it’s a good blouse that makes them feel styled instead of basic. When the top is right, everything else suddenly falls into place.
So I pulled together the 11 everyday blouses I rely on to instantly elevate my go-to bottoms. From dressy chiffon blouses that look polished with denim to soft floral blouses that dress up trousers or skirts without feeling try-hard, each pick earns its spot. Best of all, these elevated staples start at $10, making them an easy upgrade you’ll wear on repeat.
