How to Style a Silk Blouse: 8 Polished Outfits

A silk blouse is the easiest way to make an outfit feel expensive. Its soft drape and subtle sheen flatter everyone and transition from desk to dinner.

Choosing the right blouse

• A classic button-down is the most versatile
• A relaxed or draped fit is more forgiving than a tight one
• Cream, white, black, and jewel tones are the most useful
• Look for silk or a quality satin blend
