Plaid V Neck Puff Sleeve Blouse in Light Blue

A light blue plaid blouse with puff sleeves and a soft v neck, which is a combination that has never really gone out of style because it flatters almost everyone. The frill detail and buttons give it the kind of considered finish that makes a simple top feel like a choice rather than a default.

The fabric is 56% cotton, 44% polyester and the supplier lists it as slightly stretchy, so there is a little give without the shape going soft. That cotton content is what keeps it breathable enough for warm afternoons, while the polyester helps the puff hold its volume through the day. Sizes run S to XL. Bust measures 42.5 in at S and reaches 50.4 in at XL, with top length from 24.4 in to 26.8 in and sleeve length from 15.7 in to 17 in, so this is a generous, roomy cut rather than a close one. Check the table below against a blouse you already wear before you choose.

It works hardest when the rest of the outfit stays simple. Tuck it into straight leg jeans or high waisted white trousers and let the sleeves do the talking, or wear it loose over slim denim with sandals. The v neck leaves room for a fine pendant, and the light blue plaid is quietly good with tan, cream and navy. It carries from a weekday desk to a lunch out without a change, and under a cardigan it keeps going into cooler weather.
