Patchwork Print Short Sleeve Blouse

A patchwork print blouse that does the work of a statement piece while still behaving like a basic. The panelled print reads as pieced together squares across the body, so the top carries visual interest on its own and needs very little help from the rest of your outfit. Short sleeves and a clean neckline keep the silhouette simple, which is exactly what lets the print stay the focus.

The fabric is 100% polyester with no stretch, so the blouse holds its shape rather than clinging. That structure is what gives the sleeves and body a defined line instead of a droop. Because there is no give in the weave, we suggest going by the bust measurement in the table below rather than by the letter on the tag. Bust runs from 37 inches at S up to 45.7 inches at 2XL, and length stays close to 25 to 27 inches across the run, so the hem sits around the hip on most frames.

Wear it loose over straight jeans and flat sandals for a weekend that requires no thought at all. Tuck the front hem into a high waisted trouser and add a slim belt when you want the look to read a little sharper for the office. A plain camisole underneath and an open cardigan on top carries it into cooler evenings. Because the print already brings several tones, the safest styling move is to pull one shade out of it and repeat that in your shoes or bag.
