Leaving behind the flamboyance of its ‘70s predecessors, the pussy-bow blouse takes on an altogether more modern feel with delicate ties and a semi-sheer fabric. Coax the romance of an embroidered style into your casual wardrobe with a reliable pair of blue jeans, alongside the suede ankle boots that will see you through the season.
There’s nothing so fail-safe as jeans and an elevated blouse when it comes to your evening plans, and a silky fabric has an inarguably decadent feel. Play to the theme of lavish textures with a pair of velvet platforms, while a sophisticated cross-body bag keeps the accessories streamlined. Choose a slick of gold hardware for a glamorous boost.
Forever making space for pattern in our wardrobes, we can’t help but be swayed by the printed iterations of the pussy-bow blouse. A detailed tile motif is the right way to do it – having enough pop to draw the eye without drowning out the on-trend silhouette. We keep the rest of the look neutral with a dark denim skirt, leather bag and velvet heels.
A finely-frilled blouse is the perfect layering tool for this season’s cord dresses: a trend that is gathering real momentum for AW18. Try embracing the rich, wine-red hues of autumn to make your wardrobe feel instantly seasonal, right down to your trustworthy tote bag. This outfit has after-work dinner dates sorted.
If your work wardrobe consists of countless plain shirts, shape up with a powerful geometric print for instant impact. How to keep the look sharp? Frame a bold pussy-bow blouse in one colour. Coordinating smart trousers, a work bag and office-appropriate heels in classic navy keeps the focus in the right place.
